Reconnecting the Stowaway keyboard The above steps establish the Bluetooth wireless connection and bonding between the mobile 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 The keyboard will power off when the right key panel is slid out and the Bluetooth connection will be lost.
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.
