Reconnecting the Stowaway keyboard


The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding
between the mobile 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:

¾ The keyboard will power off when the right key panel is slid out and the

Bluetooth connection will be lost.


¾ As a power saving feature, the keyboard will be automatically powered

down after an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 5
minutes).

¾ When the mobile device is turned off, the established Bluetooth

connection will be lost.

¾ When the mobile device and the keyboard are moved away from each

other beyond the wireless range (~10m), the connection will be 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
mobile device are powered on and in range,
then tap any key on the keyboard. See

Automatic Reconnection from Waiting Mode

for

further details. The connection should be
reestablished within 2-3 seconds but this may
be delayed if the Bluetooth system on the
mobile device is busy. For example, after the
mobile device is powered on, it may take 10 or
more seconds for the Bluetooth system to re-
initialize.
