Frequently Asked Questions  
Q: What should I do when I type on the keyboard and nothing happens?  
Check that your Palm OS device’s batteries are charged.  
Check the keyboard’s two AAA batteries.  
Check to make sure that your Palm device is powered on and within  
range (~10m) of your Bluetooth keyboard.

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.

your hard drive letter). Locate your Palm user name folder and open it.  
Locate the Backup folder within it, and look for the keyboard.prc file. Delete  
this file from the directory. The next time you perform a HotSync, the  
Keyboard application will be removed.  
NOTE: You may also delete other programs from your Palm handheld in  
this manner.  
Q: What are the Connected Config and Wireless Config screens of the Keyboard  
application for?

connections to their Palm device (vs. connection via Bluetooth) will use this  
tabs. Users of the Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard need not pay  
attention to this tab.

Important Battery Information  
Keep batteries away from 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 don’t have to stretch to reach it.  
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.  
Important Notes about Bluetooth Devices  
The Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard can emit radio frequency (RF)  
energy whenever the green LED is flashing. Care should be taken when used  
around medical devices or equipment. For specific information, consult with  
the product manufacturer or your physician before use. To stop interference,  
close the keyboard or remove its batteries.  
The Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard should not be used on  
any aircraft. Before boarding an aircraft, close the keyboard to  
ensure there is no RF transmission.

Regulatory Notices  
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free  
space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the  
functioning of radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades,  
obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communication service.  
Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM  
commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control,  
pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services,  
along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including  
computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.  
Electromagnetic Compatibility is the ability of items of electronic equipment  
to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this  
keyboard has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory  
agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with  
radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference  
by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient the receiving antenna.  
Relocate the keyboard with respect to the receiver.  
Move the keyboard away from the receiver.  
If necessary, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional  
suggestions.  
FCC Notices (U.S. Only)  
Most Stowaway keyboards are classified by the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) as Class B digital devices.  
Class B  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
manufacturer’s instruction manual, may case interference with radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
