Think Outside Sierra Keyboard User Manual

 

 
 
 
 
 

1.  The Advanced tab allows access to different 

power efficiency modes. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
2.  The Stowaway Sierra keyboard is designed to 

operate in Power Efficient Mode in compliance 
with the Bluetooth specification. However, some 
mobile devices have difficulty operating 
effectively with Power Efficient Mode set to ON. 
The default setting is Auto, this allows the 
keyboard driver to determine whether to use 
Power Efficient mode or not. If the driver detects 
a mobile device which may work incorrectly in 
Power Efficient mode, it will turn it OFF 
automatically. You should turn OFF Power 
Efficient mode manually if you experience 
problems such as: 

 

¾  Inability to Scan for other Bluetooth devices. 
¾  Inability to Connect to other Bluetooth devices. 
¾  Inability to Discover the mobile device and connect to it from another 

Bluetooth host. 

 

NOTE: Turning off Power Efficient mode will shorten the battery life of your 
Bluetooth devices. 

 
Power Efficient mode may be turned ON manually to extend battery life if 
the mobile device fully supports it or only one Bluetooth peripheral is used at 
a time.
