Landware GoType User Manual - Getting Started
A special foot at the rear of the keyboard may be extracted
to provide maximum stability when typing. It is recom-
mended that you extract this foot prior to using your key-
board.
To enable communication between the keyboard and the
organizer the GoType! port switch must be moved over to
the right hand side (abc). NOTE: You will not be able to
type on the keyboard while in serial mode (
).
Place the organizer into GoType!’s integrated dock.
Remember, the organizer must be turned off during this
stage.
Press the Power button on the handheld to activate the
Pocket PC by pressing its power switch. If the GoType! dri-
ver has been correctly installed and activated (see step 2) it
will automatically enable keyboard input.
You are now ready to type with your keyboard. Simply open
any program that accepts text input and start typing. It’s
that easy.
Example: Creation of a text memo
Tap F5 to create a new memo and start typing. Text
should appear on the screen.
