Reconnecting the Stowaway Travel Mouse  
 
The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding 
between the Pocket PC device and the mouse for the first time. The Mouse 
pointer should display and be enabled as long as the connection is 
maintained. 
 
Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for 
many reasons: 
 
¾  When the mouse is powered off, the mouse circuit will be powered off, 
and the Bluetooth connection will be lost. 
 
¾  As a power saving feature, the mouse will be automatically powered down 
after an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 5 
minutes). 
 
¾  When the Pocket PC device is turned off, the established Bluetooth 
connection will be lost. 
 
¾  When the Pocket PC device and the mouse 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 mouse and Pocket PC device are powered 
on and in range, then press a mouse button. See 
details. 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.  
 
Even when disconnected, the Pocket PC device and the mouse remain 
bonded. The mouse will only reconnect to the bonded Pocket PC device and 
the Pocket PC device will only listen to the bonded mouse. To break the 
bond, press the Discoverable button. Normally the bond will not need to be 
broken unless the mouse will be used with another Pocket PC device or 
another mouse will be used with the Pocket PC device. Therefore, please 
avoid pressing the Discoverable button during normal operation. If this has 
happened, you will have to establish a new connection as described in the 
 section above.
