When Using

Here are important points to remember when using the Stowaway Portable
keyboard:

È

Use the keyboard on a flat, firm surface which supports the keyboard as well as the

attached handheld computer. For example, place a book or other flat surface on your lap
before using it as a laptop keyboard. 

È 

Use your stylus for selecting list items, for making menu selections, and for giving commands in

applications that are not compatible with the keyboard. (Palm OS does not allow cursor control).

È 

Use the handy stylus wells in the right and left corners of the keyboard to keep your 

stylus within reach. 

È 

Make sure that the dock mechanism is fully extended and upright before attaching your

handheld. Do not try to attach your handheld before raising the dock to the upright position.

Customizing Your Options

Once you have installed the software on your handheld, you can customize
your options as follows:
