Reconnecting in Unsecured Mode
If you initially set up your connection using Unsecured
mode and your Bluetooth software returns to waiting mode,
tapping any key
on the keyboard will not trigger automatic
reconnection. This is because the Bluetooth stack is
awaiting a signal from a previously paired device. If you
prefer to use an Unsecured connection, and want the
convenience of not having to put the keyboard into
discoverable mode
(<Ctrl> <
Left Fn
> <
Right Fn
>) 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.
Both Secured and Unsecured modes allow for one-key reconnection from waiting mode,
if the keyboard and Pocket PC are powered on and in-range. However, the availability
of one-key reconnection in Unsecured mode relies upon specific settings within the
Bluetooth stack installed on your Pocket PC. If the Bluetooth/Accessibility settings are:
Allow other devices to connect/Paired devices only
, your Bluetooth stack will only
respond to reconnection requests from devices that have previously been secured and
authenticated with a Passkey, see sections 10 – 12 of
Configuring the Keyboard to Your
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.
NOTE:
Using an Unsecured connection does not provide built-in signal encryption
against eavesdropping that a Secured connection does.
For further details on Secure connections refer to the

Unsecured
mode.
