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  For power efficiency, the keyboard will 

automatically power 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 

move 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. 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.  

NOTE: Do not press the Discoverable button. This will break the bond 
between the keyboard and the mobile device. If this happens, you will have 
to establish a new connection as described above. 

  
Even when disconnected, the mobile device and the keyboard remain 
bonded. The keyboard will only reconnect to the bonded mobile device and 
the mobile device will only listen to the bonded keyboard. To break the bond 
press the Discoverable button for approximately 1 second or until the green 
LED flashes quickly. Normally the bond will not need to be broken unless the 
keyboard will be used with another mobile device or another keyboard will 
be used with the mobile 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.
