14. The Mouse Status Page displays the mouse
battery status. The three states of the battery
are Normal, Low and Critical:
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. When the mouse batteries reach Low or
Critical, a warning message will be
displayed from the Caption Bar at the top
of the display.
16. If the mouse driver fails to detect a 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 Connection page. This
should not happen on Pocket PC devices with
a built-in Widcomm stack version 1.4.x or
later or Microsoft stack, since it is always
present and is supported by the mouse
software. However, if the device has an
incompatible version of the stack, this
message may be displayed or the software
may function improperly. In this case the mouse
software must be replaced with an updated version.

Reconnecting the Stowaway Travel Mouse
The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding
between the Pocket PC device and the mouse for the first time. The Mouse
pointer should display and 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 mouse is powered off, the mouse circuit will be powered off,
and the Bluetooth connection will be lost.
¾ As a power saving feature, the mouse will be automatically powered down
after an idle period (when there is no activity for approximately 5
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 mouse 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 mouse and Pocket PC device are powered
on and in range, then press a mouse button. See
Reconnecting and Bluetooth Accessibility for further
details. 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.
Even when disconnected, the Pocket PC device and the mouse remain
bonded. The mouse will only reconnect to the bonded Pocket PC device and
the Pocket PC device will only listen to the bonded mouse. To break the
bond, press the Discoverable button. Normally the bond will not need to be
broken unless the mouse will be used with another Pocket PC device or
another mouse will be used with the Pocket PC 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
Stowaway Travel Mouse Owner’s Manual

Reconnecting and Bluetooth Accessibility
If your Stowaway Travel Mouse software returns
to waiting mode, and pressing a mouse button
will not trigger reconnection with the PDA, this
may be because the Bluetooth stack is awaiting a
signal only from a previously paired device,
(such as if you had been using a Secured
keyboard connection). If you want the
convenience of not placing the mouse in
Discoverable mode before every use, you will
need to select All devices in the Bluetooth
Settings applet. This will permit your Pocket PC
to receive Bluetooth signals from unpaired
devices, like the mouse. Note: Your Bluetooth
screen may vary.
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 from the Start
Menu =>Settings=>Connections tab.

Disabling the Stowaway Travel Mouse
When the Stowaway Travel Mouse is no longer needed, you can disable it by
tapping the Disable button, on the Connection or Mouse page. The
Connection is not set up message will then be displayed on the
Connection page.
NOTE: Disabling the Stowaway Travel Mouse will not automatically turn off
the Bluetooth radio. Conversely, turning the Bluetooth radio off while the
Stowaway BT keyboard driver is still enabled will not work. Because of the
behavior of the Bluetooth stack, the Bluetooth radio will automatically turn
back on after a few seconds.
To re-enable the connection, tap the Connect button on the Connection
Mouse Discoverable Mode
Discoverable mode is the state that allows the mouse to be detected by
the Pocket PC device.
¾ To place the mouse in Discoverable mode, press the Discoverable button
underneath the mouse. A green LED will light underneath the mouse to
indicate it is Discoverable.
Device Pairing Overview
The Pocket PC and the Stowaway Travel Mouse share a virtual cable. This
means there is a 1:1 relationship between the Pocket PC device and the
mouse. During connection, the Pocket PC device searches the Bluetooth
radio band until it finds the mouse. Once completed, each time the Pocket
PC device and mouse are powered on within range of each other, the devices
will be reconnected with a simple mouse click. Once connected, the mouse
leaves Discoverable mode, and will not be detected by other devices. The
Pocket PC device on the other hand will retain the ability to create new
pairings with other devices, such as a Bluetooth keyboard.

Important Battery Information
• Keep batteries away from 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 Mouse Use
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 buttons to move efficiently and avoid
repetitive, awkward movement.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust your
work area so that you don’t have to stretch to reach the mouse.
• Adjust your position so that you can 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 Stowaway Bluetooth mouse can emit radio frequency (RF) energy
whenever the batteries are installed and the power switch is turned on..
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, power off the mouse or remove its
batteries.
The Stowaway Travel Mouse should not be used on any aircraft.
Before boarding an aircraft, power off the mouse to ensure there is
no RF transmission.
