How do I use the shift key (I do not seem to be able to get capital letters)?
:: The keyboard uses a system of sticky shift keys. Just like on your PC when you press shift five times you get the option to activate sticky keys. This means that you can only use each key sequentially, eg to type a A press shift then press A.

How do I set up a COM port?
:: It varies depending on the handset you are using, some recognise the Serial Port Profile of the keyboard & automatically set it up, others require a manual setup through the Bluetooth Manager of the handset. On Windows Mobile 2003 (second edition) go to the Bluetooth application under settings/ connections, then select devices & new, then follow the prompts.

The warning "Please make sure the Fabric Keyboard is turned on, Bluetooth on & the PDA is on" keeps coming up. What do I do?
:: First ensure that you follow the instructions in the message, ie that the keyboard is on, Bluetooth is on & no other Bluetooth devices are connected. If this is the case then power cycle the keyboard (turn if off & back on again) & try again. If this fails then follow the procedure to set up a COM port. It may be necessary to perform a soft reset on the device & repeat the above.

When I press a key the wrong letter appears on the screen, or wrong function is performed what’s wrong?
:: If you find when using the keyboard that a keypress produces the wrong character or operation, then you need to calibrate your keyboard. Go to the G-Tech Fabric Keyboard Screen; select Options & then Calibrate. Follow the on screen instructions.

What is Calibration?
:: Calibration makes small corrections to realign the virtual locations of the keys on the sensor to the printed keys on the fabric outer surface. It should be performed when wrong keypresses are noted during the use of the keyboard.
