Reconnecting in Unsecured Mode

Proper settings for reconnection
of keyboard in Unsecured mode.
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
Pocket PC Device.
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

Axim Wireless Keyboard Owner's Manual
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>
<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.
