KeyCase Setup

English

Welcome!

Congratulations on your purchase of a Logitech KeyCase for the Palm handheld. The KeyCase frees you of the limitations of using a stylus for data entry. It is a fully functional and compact keyboard for typing text and executing commands. The KeyCase has a special pressure-sensitive scroller for easy navigation and offers one-touch access to your favorite applications. It uses an ElekTex fabric sensor that interprets where and how hard you press, ensuring that data entry and command execution are both accurate and responsive. Despite being lightweight, the keyboard fabric is durable, offering many years of reliable service. When not in use, the sleek, wrap-around design of the KeyCase serves as a convenient protective case for the Palm handheld, allowing you to fit both units nicely into your pocket, briefcase, or handbag.
Installing the Logitech Software for KeyCase
The Logitech KeyCase requires software that is located on the Logitech software CD. You must install this software on your computer, then perform a HotSync operation to transfer this software to the Palm handheld.
For a Windows Installation
1. Turn on the computer, then perform a HotSync operation to back up the data on your Palm handheld. (Refer to your Palm handheld documentation for more information about performing a HotSync operation.) 2. Insert the Logitech TypeAway software CD into the computers CD ROM drive, then follow the on-screen instructions to install the software on your computer. If the Setup screen does not display, go to the Windows Taskbar and click Start, then Run. Type D:\setup.exe (where D: is the drive designation of the CD-ROM drive). 3. Perform another HotSync operation to transfer the Logitech and AppCentral software to the Palm handheld. 4. Reset the Palm handheld by tapping the Reset button. After resetting, if you have another keyboard driver installed on your Palm handheld, or any other software that takes over the handheld serial port, you must disable it before connecting the Logitech KeyCase. If not, the handheld may attempt to synchronize when you first use the KeyCase. 5. On the Palm handheld, tap the Logitech icon to launch the driver software, then click Done after the Tips have displayed. 6.

Calibrating the KeyCase

To ensure optimal performance and to minimize the possibility of errors, you should calibrate the keyboard when you launch the Logitech application software for the first time. 1. The KeyCase must be attached to the Palm handheld and the Palm handheld must be turned on. 2. If it is not already open, launch the Logitech application in your Palm handheld. If this is the first time you have run the Logitech software, you will see a message recommending that you calibrate the KeyCase. 3. Launch the Calibration program by tapping Calibration on the Logitech applications Setup screen. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the KeyCase. When pressing a key on the KeyCase to calibrate it, press and hold each key until you hear a beep and until the display changes to the next step. Note You can cancel the calibration process at any time by tapping the Cancel button. Cancelling calibration restores the factory default settings. For more information about calibration, refer to the online Users Guide installed on your computer.

General KeyCase Settings

1. On the Palm handheld, tap the Home icon to display the Applications Launcher. 2. Tap the Logitech icon. After the Setup screen appears, the following hardware settings display. You can customize each setting by using the stylus to make your selection. Repeat rate. Sets the rate at which a character is repeated when a key is held down. Repeat delay. Sets the initial delay after which a character is repeated when a key is held down. Sensitivity. Sets the sensitivity of the keys in response to the pressure exerted on them when they are pressed. Test keyboard. Tests the settings you have chosen. Type characters into this field and adjust the settings as necessary. Key clicks. Sets an audible click each time a key is pressed. Removing the checkmark removes the audible click. (Note that clicks will not sound if your handheld sound is turned off.) Keyboard enabled. Enables the keyboard driver. This box must be checked for your KeyCase to work. Note Each time you reset the Palm handheld, you must re-enable the Logitech keyboard driver by checking the Keyboard enabled setting. And if you have other non-Logitech keyboard drivers installed on the handheld, you will also need to check to make sure that these drivers are disabled.

Shortcut Keys

The Logitech KeyCase features six shortcut buttons to make accessing applications on your Palm handheld more convenient. These buttons include Find, Date, Address, To Do, Memo, and Mail. The KeyCase also features one-touch instant access to commonly used commands, such as Done, OK, and Cancel.

Customizing the KeyCase

The Logitech software lets you program ten additional shortcuts to the numeric keys. To use these keys after you have programmed them, press the Screen Button key followed by a numeric key to launch the application that has been assigned to that key. To program a numeric key, do the following: 1. On the Palm handheld, tap the Home icon to go to the Applications Launcher. 2. Tap the Logitech icon to display the Setup screen. 3. Tap the Pick List icon (top right of the screen) and select Commands. Ten Command functions will display. Each command corresponds to a numeric key. 4. Select the Command number you wish to program. 5. Tap the down arrow next to Commands. A list of applications will appear. 6. Tap the application you wish to assign. Repeat this procedure for any other keys you wish to program. Note In addition to launching application shortcuts, the Screen Button key also provides easy access to on-screen buttons when used with the letter keys. For more information, see the section Using the Screen Button keys.

Typing and Editing

Your Logitech KeyCase does not allow you to press two or more keys simultaneously. This does not, however, restrict the way you use the Shift and Ctrl keys. You can achieve all of the functions normally activated by pressing two keys together by using a slightly different technique: Press the Shift or Ctrl key, release the key, then press the key to which the Shift or Ctrl key applies. As a general rule, press keys one at a time.

Pressure-Sensitive Keys

The unique ElekTex fabric sensor from which your Logitech KeyCase is made identifies pressure levels, and so can tell how hard keys are pressed. This feature offers an extra level of control not available with conventional keyboards. When scrolling, pressing a key lightly scrolls slowly and pressing a key hard scrolls quickly. When typing, pressing a key lightly repeats it slowly and pressing a key hard repeats it quickly. Note The Logitech application lets you specify the level of sensitivity and the delay before key repetitions.

Selecting Text

To select text using the KeyCase, use Select mode. To enter Select mode, press the Select key. Select mode remains active until you press the Select key again. When you are in Select mode, you can select characters, or lines of text, using the cursor keys. You can also work in Select mode and Shift mode concurrently to select entire words or blocks of text.
Cutting, Copying, and Pasting
The KeyCase provides keys to cut, copy, and paste text with a single key press.

Using the Screen Button Key
Use the Screen Button key to select an on-screen button. To select a button, press the Screen Button followed by the first letter of the button name. For example, assume that you are making an entry in your Date Book. The on-screen buttons available are New, Details, and Go to. The key combinations you would press to select these buttons are as follows: On-Screen Button New Details Go to Note Key Combination Screen Button, N Screen Button, D Screen Button, G
If there is more than one button on the screen with the same starting letter, either one of them may be activated. For more information about the Screen Button, refer to the online Users Guide.

International Mode

When you press the Alt key, the international character set is activated. For example, to display the character, press the Alt key then press the a key. To display the character, press the Alt key then press the a key twice. To display the character, press the Alt key then press the a key seven times. To deactivate International mode, press the Alt key again, or simply type a different letter other than the one used to create and international character. For more information about making international characters, refer to the online Users Guide.

Closing the KeyCase

Disengage the PDA stand from the ridge that holds it upright. Move the handheld and PDA stand toward the bottom of the key-board until they are lying flat.
When you are finished using the KeyCase, it folds into a convenient, protective case for your Palm handheld.
Fold the KeyCase to enclose the handheld.

Replace the case strap.
