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:

When the keyboard cover is closed, the keyboard circuit will be powered off, and the Bluetooth connection will be lost.

As a power saving feature, the keyboard will be automatically powered down after an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 3 minutes).

When the Pocket PC device is turned off, the established Bluetooth connection will be lost.

When 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. 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 and 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 and 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 and 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.

On the BT tab:

This is where all functions of the Axim Wireless keyboard can be accessed. On the About tab:

The About tab indicates the keyboard software version installed on your Pocket PC device. Disabling the Axim Wireless keyboard When the Axim Wireless 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 Axim Wireless keyboard will not automatically turn off the Bluetooth radio. Conversely, turning the Bluetooth radio off while the Axim Wireless keyboard driver is still enabled will not work. Because of the behavior of the Bluetooth Axim Wireless Keyboard Owners Manual Page 12 stack, the Bluetooth radio will automatically turn back on after a few seconds. To turn the radio off, the Axim Wireless 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.

When 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 and Right Fn key combination.

When 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.

When the keyboard status light is solid red the batteries must be replaced before the keyboard can resume normal operation.

When 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. Axim Wireless Keyboard Owners Manual Page 13 Using the Axim Wireless keyboard Commands joined by a dash mean that the key combination must be pressed in order and with all keys held down at the same time. Commands joined by a plus + mean that the key following the + must be pressed after the initial key combination is pressed and released.

Axim Wireless Keyboard Owners Manual Page 21 Important Battery Information Keep batteries out of reach of children. Do not mix batteries of different types or old and new batteries. Always replace old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them properly. Before inserting new batteries, the battery compartment should be cleaned. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush with water immediately. Remove the batteries if the device will be inactive longer than a month. Do not open, puncture or otherwise damage the batteries. Do not use fire to dispose of batteries. Released battery electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the eyes and skin and may be toxic if swallowed. 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:

Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour. 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. Type gently and lightly. Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard so that you dont have to stretch to reach it. Adjust your position so that you dont 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. Important notes about Bluetooth devices The Axim Wireless keyboard can emit radio frequency (RF) energy whenever the green LED is flashing.
