Configuring the Keyboard to your Device
NOTE: The Bluetooth connection between the mobile device and keyboard
must be set up through the Stowaway keyboard driver.
1. The main screen of the Stowaway Keyboard
application is the Status screen. The Status
window gives you the keyboard connection
status, battery and firmware information. The
Options tab gives you access to the
Bluetooth security settings. The other
keyboard options are available via the
Options button or via the application tabs.
SECURE CONNECTIONS
1. A Secure connection requires authentication by
entering the same passkey (passcode) on the
mobile device and then on the keyboard. A
Secure connection allows automatic
reconnection and offers protection against
eavesdropping by other Bluetooth devices. You
will find the Bluetooth security setting on the
Options tab.
2. Press the left Softkey below Options to open
the menu with selections to enable or disable
the keyboard. This menu also gives access to
the remaining application tabs. To enable the
Stowaway keyboard, make sure the keyboard
is Discoverable by the mobile device. Press
the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys
together until the green LED (above the <T>
key) flashes once per second.

keyboard application will enable the Bluetooth
system software (Bluetooth Stack) on your
mobile device, and will begin scanning for the
keyboard.
4. You will be prompted for a Passkey. You may
see this Bluetooth Passkey dialog box, but
this may vary by device. Enter a Passkey of
your own choosing (of 1-9 digits), using your
mobile device keypad.
NOTE: The Passkey must contain only digits,
for example 12345.
5. Next, type the same Passkey number on the
Stowaway keyboard, using the <Left Fn> +
<Number> keys. When finished, press the
<Enter> key on your keyboard.

devices, the message BT Keyboard
Connected will appear on the Status tab. If
the keyboard does not show up as connected:

keyboard is not lit after a power cycle,
indicating a dead battery condition.
7. If the passkey is not entered correctly, the
connection will fail. In this case you will need to
repeat steps 2-5 from above.
NOTE: Please, make sure that the passkey is
entered on your mobile device first, press OK
and then follow with the passkey on the
keyboard. When finished, press the <Enter>
key on the keyboard.
UNSECURE CONNECTIONS
1. If you chose an Unsecured connection by
selecting Off at the Options tab > Bluetooth
security option, connection is usually
established within a few seconds after pressing
<Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn>. If the
connection is not completed, press the <Ctrl>
<Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys together again.

Reconnecting the Stowaway keyboard
The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding
between the mobile device and the keyboard for the first time. Keyboard
character input should be enabled as long as the connection is maintained.
Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for
many reasons:
¾ The keyboard will power off when the right key panel is slid out and the
Bluetooth connection will be lost.
¾ As a power saving feature, the keyboard will be automatically powered
down after an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 5
minutes).
¾ When the mobile device is turned off, the established Bluetooth
connection will be lost.
¾ When the mobile device and the keyboard are moved away from each
other beyond the wireless range (~10m), the connection will be lost.
When any of these conditions occurs, the
connection will be lost and the software will switch
to waiting mode. To restore the connection, make
sure the keyboard and mobile device are powered
on and in range, then tap any key on the
keyboard. See Automatic Reconnection from
Waiting Mode for further details. The connection
should be reestablished within 2-3 seconds but this
may be delayed if the Bluetooth system on the
mobile device is busy. For example, after the
mobile device is powered on, it may take 10 or
more seconds for the Bluetooth system to reinitialize.
