on the keyboard and tap connect on the Bluetooth

Q: Why can’t I synchronize my handheld when using the keyboard?


The Stowaway Universal Bluetooth 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.

Q: Can I use my Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard with other handheld
devices?


Yes. The Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard, when combined with the
appropriate Stowaway software drivers, is designed to work with handheld
devices equipped with Bluetooth.

Q: How do I install the keyboard driver?


If you have the Stowaway CD, insert it into your CD-ROM drive. The setup
program should start automatically. Optionally, locate the file named
keyboard.prc. Click on the keyboard.prc file and select your user name from
the user list that displays. The next time you HotSync your Palm handheld,
the installation will be completed.
Alternately, it is possible to download the Stowaway Universal Bluetooth
Keyboard software driver for Palm to your computer from Think Outside’s
website:
