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 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 Stowaway Universal Bluetooth 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 Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard should not be used on
any aircraft. Before boarding an aircraft, close the keyboard to
ensure there is no RF transmission.

Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free
space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the
functioning of radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades,
obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communication service.
Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM
commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control,
pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services,
along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including
computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility is the ability of items of electronic equipment
to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this
keyboard has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory
agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with
radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the keyboard with respect to the receiver.
• Move the keyboard away from the receiver.
