Keyboard Status Light
When the keyboard is open there is a light above the top row of keys that indicates the status of the keyboard.
¾When the keyboard status light flashes a fast green light (approx. once per second) it is in Discovery mode. This is the state that allows it to be detected by the Pocket PC device. To place the keyboard into Discovery mode, use the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> key combination.
¾When keyboard status light flashes a slow green light (approx. once every four seconds) it is connected to the Pocket PC device and is available for use.
¾When the keyboard status light is solid red for 5 seconds after power on, the batteries must be replaced before the keyboard can resume normal operation.
¾When the keyboard is not connected to the Pocket PC device the status light is dark. This happens when a connection or reconnection has not been established or the connection has been broken.
Secure Connection Overview
When a secure connection is established, the paired devices share a permanent security bond. This bond is established when two devices create and exchange a Link Key, this process is also known as pairing. Link Keys are based on a unique Bluetooth Device Address, an internally generated random number and a user defined Passkey.
With a Bluetooth connection, transmissions may be intercepted. In order to limit this exposure, a secure connection should be set up. This encrypts data sent from the keyboard to the Pocket PC device, creating a virtual cable. This means that there is a 1:1 relationship between the Pocket PC device and the keyboard and it will not respond to connection requests from other devices. The Pocket PC device on the other hand will retain the ability to create new pairings with other devices.
The Pocket PC device searches the Bluetooth radio band until it finds the keyboard. If the secure box is checked it will prompt for a Passkey. Once completed, each time the Pocket PC device and keyboard are powered on within range of each other, the devices will be reconnected without additional user intervention.
