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
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.
