Micro Innovations micro wireless link Operation & User’s Manual

User Manual Before using this device, please read these instructions carefully.

Regarding Infrared (IR) Transmittal Your new keyboard communicates with your PDA through IR technology (Infrared). To function properly, the two devices need to see each other. For most PDAs, the IR receiver is located at the top and cannot be seen by the keyboard. For this situation use the PDA Stand included in your package. See Setting up the PDA Stand — Page 9. Beaming While Typing You cannot beam or Hotsync“ while the keyboard is enabled. See Enabling the PDA Keyboard under User Setup Procedures — Page 7. Switch Off Your PDA Before Closing the Keyboard You should turn the PDA off or remove the keyboard from the line of sight of the IR before closing the keyboard. Not doing so may cause the PDA to freeze as transmissions may occur as the keys are depressed while closing. Should the PDA freeze while closing simply open the keyboard, position it for line of sight and tap the Function key.
