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
a number of reasons:

¾ When the keyboard cover is closed, the keyboard circuit will be powered

off, 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 Smartphone and the keyboard are out of range (~10m).

When any of these conditions occur, 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, and then tap any key on the keyboard. 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.

Stowaway Bluetooth Owner’s Manual - Windows Mobile Smartphone

Page 11

NOTE: Do not press the Discoverable button. This

will break the bond between the keyboard and the
mobile device. If this happens, you will have to
establish a new connection as described in Secured

Connections or Unsecured Connections.

Even when disconnected, the mobile device and the keyboard remain
bonded. The keyboard will only reconnect to the bonded Smartphone.
Normally the bond will not need to be broken unless the keyboard will be
used with another Smartphone or another keyboard will be used with the
Smartphone. Therefore, please avoid pressing the Discoverable button
during normal operation. If this has happened, you will have to establish a
new connection as described in the

Secured Connections or Unsecured

Connections sections above.

See

Stowaway keyboard for complete instructions.

Keyboard¼Menu¼Disable BT.

Secure Connection Overview

When a secure connection is established, the paired devices share a
permanent security bond. This bond is established when two devices create
and exchange a Link Key, this process is also known as pairing. Link Keys
are based on a unique Bluetooth Device Address, an internally generated
random number and a user defined Passkey.

With a Bluetooth connection, transmissions may be intercepted. In order to
limit this exposure, a secure connection should be set up. This encrypts data
sent from the keyboard to the mobile device. This means that there is a 1:1
relationship between the mobile device and the keyboard and it will not
respond to connection requests from other devices. The mobile device on the
other hand, will retain the ability to create new pairings with other devices.

The Smartphone searches the Bluetooth radio band until it finds the
keyboard. If the Menu¼Options¼Secure box is checked, it will prompt for
a Passkey. Once paired, each time the mobile device and keyboard are
powered on and within range of each other, the devices will be reconnected.

Keyboard Status Light

When the keyboard is open and the right panel is slid in, there is a light
(above the <0> key) that indicates the status of the keyboard.

¾ When the keyboard status light flashes a fast green light (approx.

once per second) it is in Discoverable mode. This is the state that
allows it to be detected by the mobile device. To place the keyboard in
Discoverable mode, press the Discoverable button.

¾ When keyboard status light flashes a slow green light (approx. once

every four seconds) it is connected to the mobile device and is
available for use.

¾ When the keyboard status light is solid red for 5 seconds after power

on, the batteries must be replaced before the keyboard can resume
normal operation.

¾ When the keyboard is not connected to the mobile device, the status

light is dark. This happens when a connection or reconnection has not
been established or the connection has been broken.

Important Battery Information

• Keep battery away from children.

• Always replace old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle

or dispose of them properly. Before inserting a new battery, the
battery compartment should be cleaned. If fluid from the battery
comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush with water immediately.

• Remove the battery if the device will be inactive longer than a month.

• Do not open, puncture or otherwise damage the battery.

• Do not use fire to dispose of battery.

Released battery electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the eyes
and skin and may be toxic if swallowed.

Comfortable Typing

Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons,
and muscles may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work
area, incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.

To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:

• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.

• Every once in a while, work on a different task with your hands. Avoid

repetitive motions. Use shortcut keys to move efficiently and avoid
repetitive, awkward movement.

• Type gently and lightly.

• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the

keyboard so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.

• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to
type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp edge.

If you feel discomfort of numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,
neck or back while typing, get the advice of a qualified medical professional.
