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 other 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. The status tab offers buttons to enable or
disable your keyboard. 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.

3. After you tap Enable BT, the Stowaway
keyboard application will enable the
Bluetooth system software (Bluetooth
Stack) on your mobile device, and will begin
searching 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 the on screen keyboard.

NOTE: The Passkey must contain only
digits, for example 12345.

5. Next, type the same Passkey number on
the Stowaway keyboard. When finished,
press the <Enter> key on your keyboard.

6. If the Passkey is entered successfully on
both devices, the message BT Keyboard
Connected will appear. If the keyboard
does not show up as connected:

a. Press the Discoverable button again.
b. Or, power cycle the keyboard (close

and reopen), then press <Ctrl>
<Left Fn> <Right Fn>.

c. Or, check that the Red LED on the

keyboard is not lit after a power
cycle, indicating a dead battery.

7. If the passkey is not entered correctly, the
connection will fail. In this case you will
need to repeat steps 3-5 from above.

NOTE: Please, make sure that the passkey
is entered on your mobile device first, tap
Done (twice), 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
removing the check mark at Options >
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.

OTHER FEATURES

1. If several Stowaway keyboards happen to
be nearby and in Discoverable mode, the
scan will display all of these devices in a list.
Compare the keyboard ID (Bluetooth
address) printed on the back of the
keyboard with the IDs in the list and select
the desired keyboard to connect to.

2. When the Stowaway keyboard is
enabled, the Status window shows the
connection status, the battery state, and
firmware version for the keyboard. The
three states of the battery are:

a. Normal – This is the most common

state of the battery.

b. Low – This is a warning that the

batteries have reached a threshold
where they should be replaced soon.

c. Critical – This means the batteries

are in imminent danger of reaching a
point where they will no longer
function.

NOTE: If the keyboard batteries reach a low or critical state, a message
will be displayed, and you may be warned that the keyboard is being
disabled to save power.

2. After the Stowaway keyboard is enabled,
you can test the connection by typing on
the keyboard. Text will display in the text
box provided on the Status tab.
