1 1.1 Getting Started Introduction Bluetooth wireless technology provides fast, reliable, and secure wireless communication in a small space, and enables you to synchronize your handheld PC with your desktop computer. Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and local area networks (LANs). 1.1.
1.1.2 Supported Profiles The services supported by your Bluetooth CF Card are defined as “Profiles”.
6. If you cannot successfully load the application, then perform a factory reset of the Handheld PC. Refer to the Handheld PC user guide for more information on performing factory reset of the Handheld PC. § Ensure that your desktop or notebook computer and Handheld PC have completed all operations before exiting the setup. 7. When the install program is finished, remove the Handheld PC from its cradle and conduct a soft reboot by inserting the stylus in the hole in the bottom of the Handheld PC.
3. Insert the Bluetooth Compact Flash Card installation CD into the CD tray of your desktop or notebook computer. 4. From the Windows Start menu on your base computer, select Start --> Run, and type in x:Setup.exe (where x equals the letter of the CD-ROM drive) or browse to the Setup.exe file, then click OK. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions. When requested if you would like the wizard to un-install the Bluetooth device, select “Yes” and then click on “Next”. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions. 1.
Figure 1.3: Launching Bluetooth Manager from Bluetooth Radio Icon Menu If you have no devices saved to your Handheld PC, a dialog box will prompt you to search for Bluetooth devices (See “Figure 1-4: Initial Search Prompt”). § Choose “Yes” to display the Search screen and the Bluetooth Compact Flash Card begins searching for Bluetooth devices in the area. § Choose “No” to jump to the main window without conducting any search. § Choose “Yes” to initiate a search.
Figure 1-4: Initial Search Prompt When the search is complete, the screen displays all devices that were found (See “Figure 1-5: Search Screen”). Figure 1-5: Search Screen You will now want to assign these devices to a Device Group. For information on Device Groups (see Chapter 3, “Device Groups”).
1. Select those devices that you want to keep by selecting the individual check boxes. 2. Tap “Save.” The Device groups screen will appear (See “Figure 1-6: Device Groups.”). § Only “All Devices, Home and Work” appear until you add other groups to the list (see the section in Chapter 3, “Modifying Groups”). The “All Devices” group is automatically checked and always dimmed; it cannot be unchecked. 3. Tap “Ok” to save selected device(s) to the selected group(s) and to return to the Search screen. 4.
Figure 1-7: Main Window Controls 1.5.1 Device Group Drop Down Menu The Device Group Drop Down Menu allows you to display devices found in a particular device group or in all groups (“All Devices”). This drop down menu also includes a selection for Adding, Editing, or Deleting a group (see the section in Chapter 3, “Modifying Groups”). 1.5.2 Device List The Device List displays those devices (for example, other Handheld PC’s, laptops, etc.) recognized by your Handheld PC.
1.5.5 Search Tapping Search launches the Search screen (see the section in Chapter 2, “The Search Screen”). 1.5.6 Bluetooth Radio Icon Once the Bluetooth application has been started, you can view the Bluetooth Radio Icon at the bottom of the Today screen (See “Figure 1.8: Today Screen.”) or at the bottom of the main Bluetooth Main Window (See “Figure 1.9: Bluetooth Main Window.”). Figure 1.

The group settings are distributed among six different tabs (See Figure 3-5: General Tab.”). You can change the group that you are modifying from any tab.
3.2.1 General Tab Figure 3-5: General Tab § Device Name—This is the name that other Bluetooth device users see when they discover to your device. § Default Passkey (Blank by default)—Used for authenticating connections requested by other devices for transactions that need a “Passkey” (see other service tabs for passkey requirements). The other user must know your passkey to complete the transaction. If left blank, you will be requested to enter a passkey every time that one is required.
3.2.2 Connections Tab Figure 3-6: Connections Tab § Let other devices see me (Checked by default)—Check this box to allow other devices to locate your device in a search. Ø This will not prevent devices that have previously discovered your device from conducting a transaction since they already know your Bluetooth address. § Let other devices connect to me (Checked by default) —Check this box to allow other devices to connect and conduct transactions.
Figure 3-7: Choose devices Dialog § Transmission power for this group—Allows you to choose the transmission power level that is used whenever the group is selected. Selection of this power level determines the transmission range (and therefore power consumption) of your device. 3.2.
§ Let other devices use this service (Checked by default) —Check this box to allow other devices to connect for file sharing. If unchecked, you can still connect with other devices and send them files. § Authorization required (Checked by default)—Check this box if you want to screen any unbonded devices prior to allowing a transaction. If checked, you will be prompted to “accept” or “reject” transactions by any unbonded devices (See “Figure 3-9: Authorization Dialog.”).
Figure 3-10: Passkey Required Dialog § Encryption is required—Enabled only when you check “Passkey is required.” Check this box to enable data encryption when transmitting data. § Shared Directory—Displays the name and the path of the folder used to store files received from other devices. 3.2.
3.2.5 PIM Objects Tab Figure 3-11: PIM Objects Tab § Let other devices use this service (Checked by default)—Check this box to allow other devices to connect for transferring PIM objects. If unchecked, you can still connect with other devices and send them files. § Authorization required (Checked by default)—Check this box if you want to screen any unbonded devices prior to allowing a transaction.
business card information by selecting from the full list of contacts in your Pocket Outlook database. If an Outlook contact is not available, then the data found in “My Information” of the device is used to form contact information. If the user deletes the contact entry, a runtime message appears the next time you attempt to send a business card. 3.2.
3.2.7 DialUp Tab Figure 3-13: DialUp Tab § Passkey is required (Unchecked by default)—Check this box to require authentication for connections via Dialup. If checked, you will be prompted to “accept” or “reject” transactions by any unbonded devices (See “Figure 3-10: Passkey Required.”). Unbonded devices will be required to supply a matching passkey. § Encryption is required—Enabled only when you check “Passkey is required.” Check this box to enable data encryption when transmitting data.
4 System Diagnostics You can conduct basic checks of the hardware utilizing either the Loopback Test or the Reset BC01 Test. Both can be accessed via the Diagnostics screen. 4.1 Loopback Test Ø If you select to run the Loopback Test or any other diagnostic test, the Handheld PC will soft reset. § Tests the way that your device internally processes data. 1. Select “Diagnostics” from the Tools menu at the bottom of the main window (See “Figure 4-1: Tools Menu.”). Figure 4-1: Tools Menu 2.
