Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 4
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 5
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.
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.
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 6
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 7
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 8
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 9
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.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 10
Reconnecting the Stowaway BT keyboard
The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding between the
Pocket PC device and the keyboard for the first time. Keyboard character input should
be enabled as long as the connection is maintained.
Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for many
reasons:
¾When the keyboard cover is closed, the keyboard circuit will be powered off, and the
Bluetooth connection will be lost.
¾As a power saving feature, the keyboard will be automatically powered down after
an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 3 minutes).
¾When the Pocket PC device is turned off, the established Bluetooth connection will
be lost.
¾When the Pocket PC device and the keyboard 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 keyboard and
Pocket PC device are powered on and in range, then tap
any key on the keyboard. See Reconnecting in
Unsecured Mode 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 <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn>
together. 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 keyboard remain bonded. The
keyboard will only reconnect to the bonded Pocket PC device and the Pocket PC device
will only listen to the bonded keyboard. To break the bond press <Ctrl> <Left Fn>
<Right Fn> for approximately 1 second or until the green LED flashes quickly. Normally
the bond will not need to be broken unless the keyboard will be used with another
Pocket PC device or another keyboard will be used with the Pocket PC device.
Therefore, please avoid pressing <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> during normal operation.
If this has happened, you will have to establish a new connection as described in the
Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device section above.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 11
Reconnecting in Unsecured Mode
If you initially set up your connection using Unsecured
mode and your Bluetooth software returns to waiting mode,
tapping any key on the keyboard will not trigger automatic
reconnection. This is because the Bluetooth stack is
awaiting a signal from a previously paired device. If you
prefer to use an Unsecured connection, and want the
convenience of not having to put the keyboard into
discoverable mode (<Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn>) 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.
Both Secured and Unsecured modes allow for one-key reconnection from waiting mode,
if the keyboard and Pocket PC are powered on and in-range. However, the availability
of one-key reconnection in Unsecured mode relies upon specific settings within the
Bluetooth stack installed on your Pocket PC. If the Bluetooth/Accessibility settings are:
Allow other devices to connect/Paired devices only, your Bluetooth stack will only
respond to reconnection requests from devices that have previously been secured and
authenticated with a Passkey, see sections 10 – 12 of Configuring the Keyboard to Your
Pocket PC Device.
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 Menu =>Settings=>Connections tab.
NOTE: Using an Unsecured connection does not provide built-in signal encryption
against eavesdropping that a Secured connection does.
For further details on Secure connections refer to the Secure Connection Overview.
Proper settings for reconnection
of keyboard in Unsecured mode.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 12
Customizing Your Keyboard
Once the keyboard software is installed on the Pocket PC device, you may customize
the options. A keyboard icon will appear in the lower right corner of the screen
while using Calendar, Contacts, or other applications.
¾Tap the keyboard icon once to display the Input Method Toolbar.

<Alt> <LFn><4>), the selected application will launch. You may assign up to 10
applications in this manner. (There are 2 Fn keys on the Bluetooth keyboard. The
blue <Fn> key is to the left of the spacebar and is referred to as <LFn>. The green
<Fn> key is to the right of the spacebar and is referred to as <RFn>.)
On the BT tab:
¾This is where all functions of the Stowaway BT keyboard can be accessed.
On the About tab:
¾The About tab indicates the keyboard software version installed on your Pocket PC
device.
Disabling the Stowaway BT keyboard
When the Stowaway BT keyboard is no longer needed, the keyboard driver may be
disabled by tapping the Disable button on the BT or Config page. The Connection is
not set up message will then be displayed on the BT page.
NOTE: Disabling the Stowaway BT keyboard 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

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 14
Bluetooth radio will automatically turn back on after a few seconds. To turn the radio off,
the Stowaway BT keyboard must be disabled first.
To re-enable the connection, tap the New Connection button on the BT page or tap
Enable on the Config page. See Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device
for complete instructions.
Keyboard Status Light
When the keyboard is open there is a light above the top row of keys that indicates the
status of the keyboard.
¾When the keyboard status light flashes a fast green light (approx. once per
second) it is in Discovery mode. This is the state that allows it to be detected by
the Pocket PC device. To place the keyboard into Discovery mode, use the
<Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn>key combination.
¾When keyboard status light flashes a slow green light (approx. once every four
seconds) it is connected to the Pocket PC device and is available for use.
¾When the keyboard status light is solid red for 5 seconds after power on, the
batteries must be replaced before the keyboard can resume normal operation.
¾When the keyboard is not connected to the Pocket PC device the status light is
dark. This happens when a connection or reconnection has not been established
or the connection has been broken.
Secure Connection Overview
When a secure connection is established, the paired devices share a permanent
security bond. This bond is established when two devices create and exchange a Link
Key, this process is also known as pairing. Link Keys are based on a unique
Bluetooth Device Address, an internally generated random number and a user
defined Passkey.
With a Bluetooth connection, transmissions may be intercepted. In order to limit this
exposure, a secure connection should be set up. This encrypts data sent from the
keyboard to the Pocket PC device, creating a virtual cable. This means that there is a
1:1 relationship between the Pocket PC device and the keyboard and it will not respond
to connection requests from other devices. The Pocket PC device on the other hand will
retain the ability to create new pairings with other devices.
The Pocket PC device searches the Bluetooth radio band until it finds the keyboard. If
the secure box is checked it will prompt for a Passkey. Once completed, each time the
Pocket PC device and keyboard are powered on within range of each other, the devices
will be reconnected without additional user intervention.

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 15

Q: I tried to turn off the Bluetooth radio and it automatically turned back on, what
should I do?
The Stowaway BT keyboard must be disabled before the Bluetooth radio can be turned
off. See the Disabling the Stowaway BT keyboard section for more information.
Q: What are the Serial and IR tabs of the Keyboard Control Panel for?
If you should ever select and setup the Connected serial keyboard or Infrared
wireless keyboard option on the Config tab of the Keyboard Control Panel, you will
see a Serial and/or IR tab added to the Keyboard Control Panel. Even if you change
back to Bluetooth wireless keyboard the Serial and/or IR tab will remain in the
Keyboard Control Panel. Serial keyboards use a physical connection versus a
wireless connection to a Pocket PC device. Only users of Stowaway keyboards that use
a physical connection will use the Serial tab. Infrared keyboards use an infrared line of
sight connection to a Pocket PC device. Only users of Stowaway Infrared Wireless
keyboards will use the IR Tab. Users of the Stowaway BT keyboard can ignore this
tab.
