1.4. Battery Care In the interests of providing the best product performance possible, the Personal Data Collector comes with high quality, rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a Power Adapter. After NiMH batteries are installed, connect the Power Adapter cable and the batteries charge right in the unit. Before you use new Personal Data Collector and new NiMH batteries for the first time you should charge them fully at least 6 hours.
batteries already loaded, please press and hold both v and ^ keys for 30 sec. to turn on the PDC 3.
1.5. Bluetooth® Communication (Optional) The PDC supports to connect with a Bluetooth® radio device via Serial Protocol Profile (SPP). It works like virtual serial cable once connection pair between two devices is established. Please make sure the Bluetooth® function is finely equipped on the host device, as well as an application program is installed. If an optional Bluetooth USB dongle is purchased, please refer to a separate product manual on website for IVT software instruction.
Master. PDC has to know the BD address of a target device as well as sets a PIN code. PDC will send out the paring request to the target device. The target device has to reply by the correct PIN code set by PDC in order to establish a successful pairing connection. The PDC will show a successful pairing status after receiving positive response from the target device, or a failed connection with negative response. Otherwise, a timeout status will be shown as if PDC has been waiting too long. 1.5.5.
