Think Outside Sierra Keyboard User Manual

 
For those using Windows Mobile 2003 or a non-Microsoft Bluetooth stack, 
there are two Bluetooth settings that affect how the keyboard and the 
mobile device connect in Unsecured mode. All Devices and Paired 
devices only. 
 
In order to automatically reconnect in Unsecured mode, the mobile device’s 
Bluetooth settings must be set to allow All Devices to connect. Each 
manufacturer’s Bluetooth configuration screens differ, but generally you will 
find the All devices and Paired devices only options within the Bluetooth 
Settings under the Accessibility tab. This set of screens may be available 
directly via a Bluetooth icon on the Today screen, or by navigating to the 
Start Menu > Settings > Connections tab. 
If your device is set to Paired devices only you will be prompted to Make 
PDA accessible during the initial set up of the keyboard. This will change 
the settings to All devices. 
 

NOTE: Because they are not encoded, Unsecured connections do not 
provide built-in signal encryption and are vulnerable to eavesdropping of the 
data transmitted between the keyboard and the mobile device. 

 

If you choose to create an Unsecure connection and Cancel at the Make PDA 
accessible dialog, the settings will remain in the Paired devices only state. 
This means that before each use of the keyboard it will need to be made 
discoverable and the connection will need to be manually set up, see

NOTE: For those using windows Mobile 5.0 or a Microsoft Bluetooth stack 
there are no adjustments to make, it is simply a matter of checking or un-
checking the Secure box on the BT page.
