Installing and Configuring the Keyboard
Before You Begin
Before you install the Axim Wireless keyboard software for Windows Mobile™ 2003:
¾ Disable or remove any other keyboard applications that you have previously
installed on your Pocket PC device. (Refer to the User Guide included with your
Pocket PC device for instruction on how to do this.)
¾ Ensure there is at least 300 KB of memory on your Pocket PC device. To check the
available memory, tap Start =>Settings=>System=>Memory.
¾ Insert the 2 AAA batteries (included) beneath the battery cover of the Axim Wireless
keyboard.
Installing the Software
1. Connect your Pocket PC device to a computer using the docking cradle or cable.
2. Establish a connection between the computer and your Pocket PC device using
ActiveSync and then backup the data stored on the Pocket PC device. (Refer to the
User Guide included with your Pocket PC device for instructions on how to do this.)
3. Insert the CD enclosed with your keyboard and select the language preferred from
the Language Chooser screen.
4. Double-click the language preferred to start the installation process. Follow the onscreen instructions to successfully install the software.
5. Tap the on-screen button to reset your Pocket PC device to complete the
installation.
6. After the driver is successfully installed and the Pocket PC device is reset, the
keyboard driver icon will show up in the Programs window.

Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device
1. To enable the Axim Wireless keyboard, tap the
Enable button on the Config screen of the keyboard
application. This will open the Keyboard Setup
Screen.
NOTE: After the initial installation the Keyboard
Setup Screen is opened automatically.
2. When the Keyboard Setup Screen is shown,
select the Bluetooth wireless keyboard option
and tap Setup. This will show the Bluetooth
Status Page of the Axim Wireless keyboard
application. You may also open that page by
selecting the BT tab.
3. When the Setup begins, the driver will enable the
Pocket PC Bluetooth system software; this is also
known as the Bluetooth Stack.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 4
4. The New Connection window is used to connect
the Pocket PC device to the Axim Wireless
keyboard. Tap New Connection to begin the
process.
5. Before starting the scan
make sure the keyboard
is Discoverable by the
Pocket PC device. To do
this, press the Ctrl, Left
Fn and Right Fn keys
together on the keyboard
until the green LED
flashes (~ 1 second).
Then tap the Scan button
on the screen.
6. Wait until the Axim Wireless keyboard appears
in the list. If the keyboard does not show up:
a. Try pressing the Ctrl, Left Fn and Right
Fn keys together on the keyboard and
tapping the Scan button on the screen
again.
b. Or, power cycle the keyboard (close and
reopen), then press Ctrl, Left Fn and
Right Fn and tap Scan again.
c. If neither of the above steps work, check
that the Red LED on the keyboard is not lit
indicating a dead battery condition.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 5
7. Once the Axim Wireless keyboard appears, select
it by tapping. Then decide whether you need a
secure or unsecured connection. An unsecured
connection is vulnerable to eavesdropping. A secure
connection requires authentication by entering the
same passkey on the Pocket PC device and the
keyboard (see #10). If you prefer a secure
connection, please check the Secure box otherwise leave it blank. Then tap the Connect
button. (See Secure Connection Overview for more
information).
8. If several Axim Wireless keyboards happen to be
nearby and in Discoverable Mode, the scan will
display all of these devices in the list. The keyboard
ID (Bluetooth address) printed on the back of the
keyboard should be compared with the IDs in the list
and the desired keyboard selected.
9. If the Secure box is not checked, the connection is
usually established within a few seconds after
tapping Connect. If the connection is not
established, press the Ctrl, Left Fn, and Right Fn
keys together on the keyboard and click Connect
again.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 6
10. If you choose a secure connection by checking
the Secure box, the Pocket PC Bluetooth system
software will prompt you for a passkey. You are
likely to see the Bluetooth Passkey dialog
shown here, but this is variable by device. Enter a
passkey using the Pocket PC on-screen
keyboard, then tap OK in the top right corner of
the window. Type the same passkey number on
the Axim Wireless keyboard, using Left FN +
Number Keys. When finished, press the Enter
key.
NOTE: The passkey must contain only digits,
for example 1234.
11. If the passkey is not entered correctly, the
connection will fail. In this case you will need to
press the Ctrl, Left Fn, and Right Fn keys
together on the keyboard and tap Connect again.
NOTE: Please, make sure that the passkey is
entered on-screen first, tap OK and then follow with
the passkey on the keyboard. When finished, press
the Enter key on the keyboard.
12. If the connection process is successful, the
Secure keyboard connection enabled message
will display on the Pocket PC device. This is the
normal mode for wireless communication
between the Axim Wireless keyboard and the
Pocket PC device during use.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 7
13. The Bluetooth Status Page displays the current
state of the Bluetooth connection between your
Pocket PC device and the Axim Wireless keyboard.
It also allows text to be entered to test the
connection. Buttons are provided to set up a new
connection or to disable the existing connection.
14. On the Bluetooth Status Page the keyboard
battery information is displayed. The three states
of the battery are:
a. Normal – This is the most common state
of the battery.
b. Low – This is a warning that the batteries
have reached a threshold where they
should be replaced soon.
c. Critical – This means the batteries are in
imminent danger of reaching a point where
they will no longer function.
15. If the keyboard batteries
reach a low or critical
state a message will be
displayed.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 8
16. To determine the version of the Bluetooth stack
installed on your handheld device, locate the
Bluetooth icon and tap it with the stylus to open
the application. Find the Bluetooth About tab and
tap to open the associated page. There you will
find the version and build for the installed
Bluetooth stack.
17.
If more than one Bluetooth stack is found on the
Pocket PC device when Setup is tapped, the
keyboard application will display a Stack Selection
dialog box. If the device has a built-in Bluetooth
system, that stack should be used (e.g. Widcomm
BTW-CE). If the device is using a removable
Bluetooth card such as an SDIO card, a different
stack may need to be used (e.g. Socket or
Microsoft). If the wrong stack is selected a
connection may not be possible. In such a case
return to the Stack Selection dialog box by tapping
Enable on the Config page, then select Axim
wireless keyboard and tap Setup.
18.
If the keyboard driver fails to detect any
supported Bluetooth stack during the initial setup
or at a later time (e.g. after power on), it will
display the Bluetooth system not detected
message on the BT page. This should not
happen on Pocket PC devices with a built-in
Widcomm stack version 1.4x, since it is always
present and is supported by the keyboard
software. However, if the device has been
upgraded with an incompatible version of the
stack, then this message may be displayed or the
software may function improperly. In such a case
the keyboard software must be replaced with an
updated version.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 9
Reconnecting the Axim Wireless Keyboard
The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding between the
Pocket PC device and the keyboard for the first time. Keyboard character input should
be enabled as long as the connection is maintained.
Despite a high degree of reliability, the Bluetooth connection could break for many
reasons:
¾ When the keyboard cover is closed, the keyboard circuit will be powered off, and the
Bluetooth connection will be lost.
¾ As a power saving feature, the keyboard will be automatically powered down after
an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 3 minutes).
¾ When the Pocket PC device is turned off, the established Bluetooth connection will
be lost.
¾ When the Pocket PC device and the keyboard are moved away from each other
beyond the wireless range (~10m), the previously established connection is 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 Pocket PC
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 Pocket PC device is busy. For example, after
the Pocket PC 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 and 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 Pocket PC device and the keyboard remain bonded. The
keyboard will only reconnect to the bonded Pocket PC device and the Pocket PC device
will only listen to the bonded keyboard. To break the bond press Ctrl, Left Fn and 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 Pocket PC
device or another keyboard will be used with the Pocket PC device. Therefore, please
avoid pressing Ctrl, Left Fn and Right Fn during normal operation. If this has
happened, you will have to establish a new connection as described in the Configuring
the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device section above.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 10
Customizing Your Keyboard
Once the keyboard software is installed on the Pocket PC device, you may customize
the options. A keyboard icon
will appear in the lower right corner of the screen
while using Calendar, Contacts, or other applications.
¾ Tap the keyboard icon once to display the Input Method Toolbar.
¾ Tap the keyboard icon on the Input Method Toolbar to display the keyboard control
panel.
NOTE: Tapping the keyboard icon once at the Today screen once will first display the
Keyboard Control Panel. Tapping the same keyboard icon will display the Input Method
Toolbar.
Input Method Toolbar
There are four icons that appear in the Input Method Toolbar. This assumes that the
Axim Wireless Keyboard input method is selected. The leftmost icon shows the state
of the Bluetooth connection; there are three different states that can be indicated. A tap
and hold on this icon will display a text message describing the state.
¾ This shows that the Bluetooth connection is active.
¾ This shows that the driver is waiting for the keyboard to reconnect.
¾ This shows that the connection is not setup.
The other three icons relate to other features of the keyboard driver.
¾ Tap this speaker icon to turn the keyboard clicking sounds on or off.
¾ Tap this keyboard icon to access the Keyboard Control Panel. This second
keyboard icon appears above the keyboard icon that is visible in the lower
right corner of the screen.
¾ Tap this help icon to access keyboard help topics and troubleshooting tips.
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 11
Keyboard Control Panel
On the Config tab:
¾ Tap Enable (the next screen allows you to turn on access to the Axim Wireless
keyboard) to choose which keyboard to enable. Tap Disable to turn off access to all
keyboards.
¾ To see a visual indication if the keyboard is in Caps Lock or Num Lock mode, check
or uncheck the Show Capslock/Numlock notification option.
¾ To select whether or not the keyboard icon will appear in the lower right corner of the
Today screen, check or uncheck the Show Icon on Today screen option.
¾ To increase key repeat speed, drag the Key Repeat Rate slider to the left.
¾ To decrease key repeat speed, drag the Key Repeat Rate slider to the right.
¾ To increase key repeat delay, drag the Key Repeat Delay slider to the right.
¾ To decrease key repeat delay, drag the Key Repeat Delay slider to the left.
¾ To verify the language layout installed, tap the down-arrow in the drop down box
under Layout.
On the Hot-Key tab:
¾ Tap the down-arrow next to a number and select the application to associate with
that number. When you press the Alt, LFn, number key combination (e.g. Alt, LFn,
4), the selected application will launch. You may assign up to 10 applications in this
manner. (There are 2 Fn keys on the Bluetooth keyboard. The blue Fn key is to the
left of the spacebar and is referred to as LFn. The green Fn key is to the right of the
spacebar and is referred to as RFn.)
On the BT tab:
¾ This is where all functions of the Axim Wireless keyboard can be accessed.
On the About tab:
¾ The About tab indicates the keyboard software version installed on your Pocket PC
device.
Disabling the Axim Wireless keyboard
When the Axim Wireless keyboard is no longer needed, the keyboard driver may be
disabled by tapping the Disable button on the BT or Config page. The Connection is
not set up message will then be displayed on the BT page.
NOTE: Disabling the Axim Wireless keyboard will not automatically turn off the
Bluetooth radio. Conversely, turning the Bluetooth radio off while the Axim Wireless
keyboard driver is still enabled will not work. Because of the behavior of the Bluetooth
Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual
Page 12
stack, the Bluetooth radio will automatically turn back on after a few seconds. To turn
the radio off, the Axim Wireless keyboard must be disabled first.
To re-enable the connection, tap the New Connection button on the BT page or tap
Enable on the Config page. See Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device
for complete instructions.
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.
¾ When 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 and Right Fn key combination.
¾ When 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.
¾ When the keyboard status light is solid red the batteries must be replaced before
the keyboard can resume normal operation.
¾ When 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.

Important Battery Information
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Do not mix batteries of different types or old and new batteries.
Always replace old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose
of them properly. Before inserting new batteries, the battery compartment should
be cleaned. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush
with water immediately.
Remove the batteries if the device will be inactive longer than a month.
Do not open, puncture or otherwise damage the batteries.
Do not use fire to dispose of batteries.
Released battery electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the eyes and skin
and may be toxic if swallowed.
Comfortable Typing
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles
may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect body
posture, and poor work habits.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
•
•
•
•
•
Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
Every once in a while, work on a different task with your hands. Avoid repetitive
motions. Use shortcut keys to move efficiently and avoid repetitive, awkward
movement.
Type gently and lightly.
Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard
so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type; avoid
placing your wrists on a sharp edge.
If you feel discomfort of numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back
while typing, get the advice of a qualified medical professional.
Important notes about Bluetooth devices
The Axim Wireless keyboard can emit radio frequency (RF) energy whenever the green
LED is flashing. Care should be taken when used around medical devices or
equipment. For specific information, consult with the product manufacturer or your
physician before use. To stop interference, close the keyboard or remove its batteries.
The Axim Wireless keyboard should not be used on any aircraft. Before boarding
an aircraft, close the keyboard to ensure there is no RF transmission.
