This is a quick start guide for the wireless fabric keyboard for RIM Blackberry devices.
Please take some time to read the main User Manual on the keyboard to familiarise
yourself with all the features of your keyboard.
Note: A Blackberry device needs to have event (or keyboard) injection enabled. To do this
please follow one of the options below:
OPTION 1 - Device is registered on the BES
If the BB device is on BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), permission must be obtained
from the BES administrator to download the fabric keyboard software and enable event
injection. The BES must be 4.0 or higher.
For instructions provided by RIM BlackBerry, see:

OR

<outbind://40/www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic> (Search for "KB-04219").
OPTION 2 - Device not registered on the BES
To check permissions on a device (security policy) to check ‘event injection is ON) navigate
through the selections below:
Options > Advanced > Applications > Modules
OR
For some devices running 4.0.2
Settings > applications > (click)
Settings > applications > (anywhere) > modules > FabricKeyboard > properties > view
Settings > applications > policy restrictions
You should be able to 'allow' event injection from here.
Note: If the Blackberry was used on the BES and now no longer is, (and event injection is
disabled) then there seems to be no way to reverse this without putting the device back on
the BES and following the above.

for the green Indicator light to flash then become steady).

Device’ to find the keyboard (which will display as ‘Keyboard’)
3. Enter a ‘0000’ for the passcode if prompted.

(press click wheel from main page’) – check that the green indicator light on keyboard is
on solid or flashing, turn keyboard back on it has timed out.
