The following process is generally common for connecting most Bluetooth devices (keyboard,

mouse, printer, cellular phone, PDA, Tablet PC, notebook PC, etc.). The actual steps may be

slightly different for every type and brand of Bluetooth device. Read and follow the installation

instructions included with your specific device. There are four generic steps for connecting to a

Bluetooth device.

1. Discover

2. Search

3. Pair

4. Connect

Discover

Making a Bluetooth device discoverable makes it visible to other Bluetooth devices. Each

Bluetooth device uses a different method (pressing a button or key combination) to make it

discoverable. This is generally described in the device’s documentation. When you activate

Bluetooth on your Tablet PC it is the signal for the Tablet PC to look for, or discover any Bluetooth

devices within range.

This process will find every Bluetooth device that is discoverable and available for connection

within 33 feet (10 meters).

Pair

Using a passkey creates a secure connection (pairing) between the Tablet PC and

Bluetooth device. This passkey helps prevent data from being intercepted and interpreted by

another device.

Though the passkey exchange helps to secure your data, Bluetooth wireless

technology should not be considered completely secure.

Connect

The first time a Bluetooth device is connected to the terminal the drivers are loaded for that

device. After this initial connection, some Bluetooth devices may disconnect when they go into

power-saving mode. Most will automatically reconnect when they become active again.

Using the Bluetooth Application

1. Make sure the Bluetooth indicator light is flashing.

2. Using your stylus, Right mouse click the Bluetooth Devices icon in the system tray.

3. Tap Add a Bluetooth Device to launch the Bluetooth Add Bluetooth Device

Wizard.
