Installing and Configuring the Keyboard

Before You Begin

Before you install the Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard software for Pocket PC 2002/Windows Mobile 2003:
¾ Disable or remove any other keyboard applications that you have previously
installed on your Pocket PC device. (Refer to the User’s Guide included with your
Pocket PC device for instruction on how to do this.)
¾ Ensure there is at least 400 KB of memory on your Pocket PC device. To check the
available memory, tap Start =>Settings=>System=>Memory.
¾ Insert the 2 AAA batteries (included) beneath the battery cover of the Stowaway
Universal Bluetooth keyboard.

Installing the Software

1. Connect your Pocket PC device to a computer using the docking cradle or sync cable.
2. Establish a connection between the computer and your Pocket PC device using ActiveSync® and then backup the data stored on the Pocket PC device. (Refer to the User Guide included with your Pocket PC device for instructions on how to do this.)
3. Insert the CD enclosed with your keyboard and select the language preferred from the Language Chooser screen.
4. Double-click the language preferred to start the installation process. Follow the on­screen instructions to successfully install the software.
5. Tap the on-screen button to reset your Pocket PC device to complete the installation.
6. After the driver is successfully installed and the Pocket PC device is reset, the keyboard driver icon will show up in the Programs window.

Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device

1. To enable the Stowaway BT keyboard, tap the Enable button on the Config screen of the keyboard application. This will open the Keyboard Setup Screen.
NOTE: After the initial installation the Keyboard Setup Screen is opened automatically.
2. When the Keyboard Setup Screen is shown, select the Bluetooth wireless keyboard option and tap Setup. This will show the Bluetooth Status Page of the Stowaway BT keyboard application. You may also open that page by selecting the BT tab.
3. When the Setup begins, the driver will enable the Pocket PC Bluetooth system software; this is also known as the Bluetooth Stack.

5. Before starting the scan make sure the keyboard is Discoverable by the Pocket PC device. To do this, press the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right
Fn> keys together on the
keyboard until the green LED flashes (~ 1 second). Then tap the Scan button on the screen.
4. The New Connection window is used to connect
the Pocket PC device to the Stowaway BT
keyboard. Tap New Connection to begin the
process.
6. Wait until the Stowaway BT Keyboard appears in
the list. If the keyboard does not show up:
a. Try pressing the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn>
keys together on the keyboard and tapping the Scan button on the screen again.
b. Or, power cycle the keyboard (close and
reopen), then press <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right
Fn> and tap Scan again.
c. If neither of the above steps work, check that
the Red LED on the keyboard is not lit after a power cycle indicating a dead battery condition.

7. Once the Stowaway BT Keyboard appears, select it
by tapping. Then decide whether you need a secure or unsecured connection. An unsecured connection is vulnerable to eavesdropping. A secure connection requires authentication by entering the same passkey on the Pocket PC device and the keyboard (see #10). If you prefer a secure connection, please check the
Secure box - otherwise leave it blank. Then tap the Connect button. (See Secure Connection Overview
for more information).
8. If several Stowaway BT keyboards happen to be
nearby and in Discoverable Mode, the scan will display all of these devices in the list. The keyboard ID (Bluetooth address) printed on the back of the keyboard should be compared with the IDs in the list and the desired keyboard selected.
9. If the Secure box is not checked, the connection is usually established within a few seconds after tapping Connect. If the connection is not established, press the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys together on the keyboard and click Connect again.

10. If you choose a secure connection by checking the
Secure box, the Pocket PC Bluetooth system software will prompt you for a passkey. You are likely to see the Bluetooth Passkey dialog shown here, but this is variable by device. Enter a passkey using the Pocket PC on-screen keyboard, then tap OK in the top right corner of the window. Type the same passkey number on the Stowaway BT keyboard, using <Left Fn> + <Number> keys. When finished, press the <Enter> key. NOTE: The passkey must contain only digits, for example 1234.
11. If the passkey is not entered correctly, the
connection will fail. In this case you will need to press the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys together on the keyboard and tap Connect again. NOTE: Please, make sure that the passkey is entered on-screen first, tap OK and then follow with the passkey on the keyboard. When finished, press the <Enter> key on the keyboard.
12. If the connection process is successful, the Secure keyboard connection enabled message will display on the Pocket PC device. This is the normal mode for wireless communication between the Stowaway BT keyboard and the Pocket PC device during use.

13. The Bluetooth Status Page displays the current
state of the Bluetooth connection between your Pocket PC device and the Stowaway BT keyboard. It also allows text to be entered to test the connection. Buttons are provided to set up a new connection or to disable the existing connection.
14. On the Bluetooth Status Page the keyboard
battery information is displayed. 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.
15. If the keyboard batteries reach a low or critical state a message will be displayed.

16. To determine the version of the Bluetooth stack installed on your handheld device, locate the Bluetooth icon and tap it with the stylus to open the application. Find the Bluetooth About tab and tap to open the associated page. There you will find the version and build for the installed Bluetooth stack.
17. If more than one Bluetooth stack is found on the
Pocket PC device when Setup is tapped, the keyboard application will display a Stack Selection dialog box. If the device has a built-in Bluetooth system, that stack should be used (e.g. Widcomm BTW-CE). If the device is using a removable Bluetooth card such as an SDIO card, a different stack may need to be used (e.g. Socket or Microsoft). If the wrong stack is selected a connection may not be possible. In such a case return to the Stack Selection dialog box by tapping
Enable on the Config page, then select Stowaway BT keyboard and tap Setup.
18. If the keyboard driver fails to detect any 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 BT page. This should not happen on Pocket PC
devices with a built-in Widcomm stack version 1.4.x, since it is always present and is supported by the keyboard software. However, if the device has been upgraded with an incompatible version of the stack, then this message may be displayed or the software may function improperly. In such a case the keyboard software must be replaced with an updated version.
