the Bluetooth devices page to come up (if the BT devices page comes up, then refresh this
page and select the 'keyboard' device').

10. Once the above is done wait for the connection to be made and then all is done.

11. Please note that it is necessary to wait for 10-15 seconds every time you want to re­connect to PDA.

You are now almost ready to use your device. However, before you do there are some
important settings that should be done that are accessed from the Options tab from the
Keyboard front page.

Before you tap connect make sure that the LED on the keyboard is ON

constantly and WAIT for 10-15 seconds.

If the LED on keyboard has gone OFF before tapping ‘connect’, then check the
partnership on Bluetooth connection settings, turn the LED on the keyboard back
ON and WAIT for 10-15 seconds before ‘connecting’

: During the pairing process, the keyboard may power down after a
minute if no pairing has been established. If this happens power up the keyboard
again (by pressing the power switch until the indicator light comes on steady) and
continue (you may need to re-connect or search for Bluetooth devices again)

If connecting to a different keyboard to one previously connected, it is suggested
that before pairing is attempted, the keyboard application is quit, Bluetooth is
turned OFF and then ON again. Also, should you change your keyboard a new
pairing will need to be established.

Connection is now complete. Follow the on-screen prompts to perform a calibration
(this is recommended, see User Guide for details)
