3.18. Using a Keyboard
If you want to type on a keyboard to communicate, you can use any of the standard configurations provided
with your Palmtop device. If an onscreen keyboard includes a word prediction list with numbers next to the
words, you can select the words using number keys on the keyboard. If you want to type a number rather
than select a word from a prediction list, you will need to press the
Ctrl key and then the number.
If you are a keyboard user, you can also take advantage of several keyboard shortcuts that allow you to
control your Palmtop device. Access these shortcuts by pressing the
Ctrl key on the keyboard, followed by
the shortcut key. You can either press the two keys sequentially, or at the same time. Most of these shortcuts
can also be assigned to individual onscreen buttons for non-keyboard users (see section 7.1). A complete list
of shortcuts can be found in section 7.2.
A keyboard can also be used to select specific buttons on the screen using simple letter-number sequences
to specify the column-row of the button you want to select. For example, to select a button in the third
column and second row of a phrase page, you would type "C2" (since "C" is the third letter of the alphabet).
When a keyboard page is open, you will need to use the special "N1" and "N2" shortcuts to access the two
navigation buttons (since the keyboards are not perfect row-column grids). When an options page is open,
use shortcuts like "O6" to select the sixth button on the page (ordering left-to-right and top-to-bottom). We
call this "Battleship Selection.” Battleship selection can be particularly useful if you generally type all of your
messages, but would also like quick access to pre-programmed phrases. Abbreviation expansion must be
turned on for this type of keyboard selection.
3.19. Using Online Help
Your Palmtop device comes with an online help system to aid in solving problems and to explain the use of
key features. Although it is not as comprehensive as this
User's Guide , online help can be useful when the
User's Guide is not at hand. Online help is accessed by selecting View > Help Topics from the menu bar.
3.20. Using a Bluetooth Keyboard
Your Palmtop device can receive data from a Bluetooth (wireless) keyboard. In order to properly use a
Bluetooth keyboard, you must first create a “pairing” between the keyboard and your Palmtop device. Then,
when both devices are turned on and within 30 feet of each other, the Palmtop device will automatically
receive transmissions from the Bluetooth keyboard.
Note: These instructions assume that you are connecting the recommended Bluetooth keyboard
(Think Outside, model # XTBT01). Some of these steps may be slightly different when
connecting to other brands of keyboards.
To create a connection between your Palmtop device and the recommended Bluetooth keyboard, follow
these steps:
1. Make sure that the keyboard is turned on and within 30 feet of the Palmtop device.
2. From the
Tools menu of the Palmtop software, select Options > System > Setting dialogs >
Bluetooth .
3. Check the Turn on Bluetooth box.
4. On the Bluetooth keyboard, press and hold Ctrl + Fn (Blue) + Fn (Green) until the green light starts
flashing on the keyboard.
5. On the Palmtop device, select the Devices tab then select New Partnership .
6. Select Think Outside Keyboard from the list and then select Next .
