• Check the keyboard’s two AAA batteries.
• Check to make sure that your Pocket PC device is properly connected
to the keyboard by repositioning the IR wand to point at the IR port of
your Pocket PC device.

wireless keyboard is enabled.
• Use the Keyboard Troubleshooter in the keyboard control panel.
Q: Why can’t I synchronize my handheld when using the keyboard?
The Stowaway IR Wireless Keyboard does not replace your handheld
computer’s cradle. To synchronize, connect your handheld to the
synchronization cradle and then synchronize as usual. If your handheld
computer uses a synchronization cable, you may be able to leave the cable
connected while you type as long as it doesn’t interfere with the keyboard
easel and IR wand.
Q: Can I use my Stowaway IR Wireless Keyboard with other

added to the Keyboard Control Panel. Even if you change back to “Infrared
wireless keyboard” the Serial tab remains in the Keyboard Control Panel.
Only users of Stowaway keyboards that use a physical connection to their
Pocket PC device (vs. wireless connection) will use this tab. Users of the
Stowaway IR Wireless Keyboard should not pay attention to this tab.
Q: What should I do if I am having IR beaming difficulties when
using the keyboard and other IR equipped devices?
In most cases, using the “Keyboard coexistence” option will allow you to use
the keyboard and send/receive beamed files and applications without issue.
If however, you experience beaming or application difficulties with this
option selected, then select the “Keyboard exclusive” option.
To change this option:
1. Access the IR tab of
the Keyboard Control
Panel. (Fig. A)
2. Uncheck the “Keyboard
coexistence with other
infrared applications”
box. (Fig. A)

Comfortable Typing
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:
¾ Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
¾ Every once in a while, work on a different task with your hands. Avoid
repetitive motions. Use shortcut keys to move efficiently and avoid
repetitive, awkward movement.
¾ Type gently and lightly.
¾ Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the
keyboard so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
¾ Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type;
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.
