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.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers  
Q: What should I do when I type on the keyboard and nothing happens?  
Check that Pocket PC device’s batteries are charged.  
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

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: 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)
