15. When the mouse batteries reach Low or
Critical, a warning message will also be
displayed on the Today screen.

16. If the mouse driver fails to detect a
supported Bluetooth stack during the initial
setup or at a later time (e.g. after power
on), it will display the Bluetooth system
not detected message on the Connection
page. This should not happen on Pocket PC
devices with a built-in Widcomm stack
version 1.4.x or later or Microsoft stack,
since it is always present and is supported
by the mouse software. However, if the
device has an incompatible version of the
stack, this message may be displayed or the
software may function improperly. In this case

the mouse software must be replaced with an
updated version.

Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse Owner’s Manual

Page 11

Reconnecting the Stowaway Mouse

Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for
many reasons:

¾ When the mouse is powered off, the mouse

circuit will be powered off, and the Bluetooth
connection will be lost.

¾ As a power saving feature, the mouse will be

automatically powered down after an idle
period (when there is no activity for
approximately 5 minutes).

¾ When the Pocket PC device is turned off, the

established Bluetooth connection will be lost.

¾ When the Pocket PC device and the mouse are

moved away from each other beyond the
wireless range (~10m), the previously
established connection is 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 mouse and Pocket PC device are powered on and in range, then press a
mouse button. See Bluetooth Accessibility for further details. The connection
should be reestablished within 2-3 seconds but this may be delayed if the
Bluetooth system on the Pocket PC device is busy. For example, after the
Pocket PC device is powered on, it may take 10 or more seconds for the
Bluetooth system to re-initialize.

NOTE: Do not press the Discoverable button. This will break the bond
between the keyboard and the Pocket PC device. If this happens, you will
have to establish a new connection as described above.

Even when disconnected, the Pocket PC device and the mouse remain
bonded. The mouse will only reconnect to the bonded Pocket PC device and
the Pocket PC device will only listen to the bonded mouse. To break the
bond, press the Discoverable button. Normally the bond will not need to be
broken unless the mouse will be used with another Pocket PC device or
another mouse will be used with the Pocket PC device. 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

Configuring the Mouse to Your Device section above.

Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse Owner’s Manual

Page 12

Bluetooth Accessibility

For those using Windows Mobile 2003 or a non-Microsoft Bluetooth stack,
there are two Bluetooth settings that affect how the mouse and the mobile
device connect. If your Stowaway Mouse software returns to waiting mode,
and pressing a mouse button will not trigger reconnection with the PDA, this
may be because the Bluetooth stack is awaiting a signal only from a
previously paired device, (such as if you had been using a Secured
keyboard connection). If you want the convenience of not placing the mouse
in Discoverable mode before every use, you will need to select All
devices in the Bluetooth Settings applet. This will permit your Pocket PC to
receive Bluetooth signals from unpaired devices, like the mouse.

NOTE: Your Bluetooth screen may vary.

Each manufacturer’s Bluetooth configuration
screens differ, but generally you will find the All
devices and Paired devices only options within the
Bluetooth Settings under the Accessibility tab.
This set of screens may be available directly via a
Bluetooth icon on the Today screen, or from the
Start MenuÖSettingsÖConnections tab.

Disabling the Stowaway Mouse

When the Stowaway Mouse is no longer needed, you can disable it by
tapping the Disable button, on the Connection or Mouse page. The

Connection is not set up message will then be displayed on the
Connection page.

NOTE: Disabling the Stowaway Mouse will not automatically turn off the
Bluetooth radio. Conversely, turning the Bluetooth radio off while the
Stowaway BT keyboard driver is still enabled will not work. Because of the
behavior of the Bluetooth stack, the Bluetooth radio will automatically turn
back on after a few seconds.

To re-enable the connection, tap the Connect button on the Connection
page or tap Enable on the Mouse page. See Configuring the Mouse to Your

Device for complete instructions.

Mouse Discoverable Mode

Discoverable mode is the state that allows the mouse to be detected by
the Pocket PC device.

¾ To place the mouse in Discoverable mode, press the Discoverable button

underneath the mouse. A green LED will light underneath the mouse to
indicate it is Discoverable.

Device Pairing Overview

The Pocket PC and the Stowaway Mouse share a virtual cable. This means
there is a 1:1 relationship between the Pocket PC device and the mouse.
During connection, the Pocket PC device searches the Bluetooth radio band
until it finds the mouse. Once completed, each time the Pocket PC device
and mouse are powered on within range of each other, the devices will be
reconnected with a simple mouse click. Once connected, the mouse leaves
Discoverable mode, and will not be detected by other devices. The Pocket PC
device on the other hand will retain the ability to create new pairings with
other devices, such as a Bluetooth keyboard.

Important Battery Information

• Keep batteries away from children.

• Do not mix batteries of different types or old and new batteries.

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

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

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

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

• Do not use fire to dispose of batteries.

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

Comfortable Mouse Use

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 buttons to move efficiently and avoid
repetitive, awkward movement.

• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust your
work area so that you don’t have to stretch to reach the mouse.

• Adjust your position so that you can 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.

Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse Owner’s Manual

Important notes about Bluetooth devices

The Stowaway Bluetooth mouse can emit radio frequency (RF) energy
whenever the batteries are installed and the power switch is turned on..
Care should be taken when used around medical devices or equipment. For
specific information, consult with the product manufacturer or your physician
before use. To stop interference, power off the mouse or remove its
batteries.

The Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse should not be used on any aircraft.
Before boarding an aircraft, power off the mouse to ensure there is
no RF transmission.

Regulatory Notices

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated In
free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the
functioning of radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades,
obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communication service.
Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM
commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control,
pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services,
along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including
computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility is the ability of items of electronic equipment
to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this
mouse has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory
agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with
radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
