(Refer to the User’s Guide included with your PC with any questions on your current mouse.
Setting up the Mouse with Pocket PC Before You Begin Before you install the Stowaway keyboard and mouse software for Pocket PC 2003/Windows Mobile 5.0 PDAs: ¾ ActiveSync 4.0 or greater is required to install the keyboard driver application. ¾ Disable or uninstall any other keyboard or mouse applications that you have previously installed on your mobile device. ¾ Ensure there is at least 250 KB of memory on your mobile device. To check the available memory, tap Start¼Settings¼System¼Memory.
Configuring the Mouse to Your Device 1. After the driver installation completes, the Stowaway Settings screen will display and you will be prompted to Choose device to setup. Select the Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse and tap Setup. 2. The Select mouse pointer mode screen will display for selecting Enhanced or Safe pointer mode: a. Enhanced mode – Works for most PDAs. Try Enhanced mode first. b. Safe mode – In the event that display issues arise with Enhanced mode, select Safe mode.
4. Once the PDA resets, the Confirm mouse pointer mode screen will display. If the PDA display is working properly, accept Enhanced mode by selecting Enhanced again, and tapping OK. Otherwise, select Safe and tap OK. 5. On Pocket PC devices with Windows Mobile 5.0 you may see a screen warning that the Stowaway Mouse driver will not work with the built-in Bluetooth Keyboard driver. You must tap Disable built-in HID driver in order for the mouse to work correctly. 6.
7. Then tap the Connect button on the screen. The status will read Scanning for a mouse. 8. The status will change to Initializing connection. During the initialization stage, the application starts the Pocket PC Bluetooth system software, known as the Bluetooth Stack. 9. Once a mouse is detected, the application will begin Verifying connection by prompting you to move the mouse and click in the red box provided. This will verify that the correct mouse is being connected to your PDA.
10. If the connection process is successful, the Mouse connection enabled message will display on the Pocket PC device. This is the normal mode for wireless communication between the Stowaway Mouse and the Pocket PC device during use. 11. In the event that several Stowaway Bluetooth mice (or BT keyboards) happen to be nearby and in Discoverable mode, the scan will display all of these devices in the list. Compare the ID (Bluetooth address) of the device you’re using and select it from the list. 12.
13. If the mouse has previously been connected with your Pocket PC but you have pressed the Discoverable mode button during normal use, the mouse will lose its bond with your handheld device. Tap Connect to reestablish the bond. 14. On the Advanced page, there are buttons provided to select Power efficient mode and Mouse Pointer mode. a. Power efficient mode – Allows you to enable the Stowaway Mouse application to Auto-detect the proper power setting for your device combination (keyboard/mouse/PDA, etc.
15. 16. When the mouse batteries reach Low or Critical, a warning message will also be displayed on the Today screen. 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.
Reconnecting the Stowaway Mouse 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.
Bluetooth Accessibility For those using Windows Mobile 2003 or a non-Microsoft Bluetooth stack, there are two Bluetooth settings that affect how the mouse and the mobile device connect. If your Stowaway 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).
Customizing Mouse Functions Once the mouse software is installed on the Pocket PC device, you may customize the options. A mouse icon will display in the lower right corner of the screen while using Calendar, Contacts, or other applications. ¾ Tap the mouse icon on the bottom toolbar to display the Mouse Control Panel. ¾ Tap the keyboard icon at the Mouse Control Panel to display the Input Method Toolbar. Input Method Toolbar There are four icons that appear on the Input Method Toolbar.
Mouse Control Panel On the Mouse tab: ¾ Tap Enable to choose which device to enable (the next screen will allow you to select the Stowaway Mouse). Tap Disable to turn off access to the mouse. ¾ To select Button Assignments for custom applications to launch, or functions to perform with each of the mouse buttons, tap the downarrows following the Left, Middle and/or Right drop down lists. ¾ To increase mouse pointer speed, drag the Mouse Speed slider to the right.
Disabling the Stowaway Mouse When the Stowaway 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 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.
Using the Stowaway Mouse Moving the Pointer/Highlighting Text Using default mouse functions: Mouse movements and Mouse button clicks, you can easily navigate, position the cursor, and select text for subsequent editing functions.

Action To activate a program’s menu bar at the bottom of the Pocket PC device screen and select a main menu item: • Mouse click on the menu title, then move the mouse and click on the menu item, or submenu you want to activate.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: My mouse and handheld are in-range and powered on, why won’t they reconnect after a mouse button press? If Bluetooth Accessibility is set to Paired devices only, the mouse may not automatically reconnect. To allow the mouse to reconnect with a button press, change the default settings within the Bluetooth accessibility settings, see Bluetooth Accessibility.
Q: I received an error message saying the keyboard/mouse driver cannot find a supported Bluetooth component, what should I do? The current version of the keyboard/mouse driver supports Widcomm Bluetooth for Windows CE (BTW-CE) version 1.4.1 or later, and Microsoft stack version TBD. If you have a different version, you may need to check for upgrades for either the Bluetooth stack or for the mouse driver.
