For information on Unsecured connections and re-connections see 
 
Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for 
many reasons: 
 
¾  The keyboard will power off when the cover is 
closed 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 3 
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 <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> together. This will break 
the bond between the keyboard and the Pocket PC 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 <Ctrl> <
Left Fn
> <
Right Fn
> 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 <Ctrl> <
Left Fn
> <
Right Fn
> during normal operation. If this has 
happened, you will have to establish a new connection as described in the
