Bluetooth Operation
Bluetooth GPS is a feature of the WayPoint
tm
200 product. Bluetooth wireless technology
consists of a CF hardware card and Bluetooth management software with a Bluetooth Driver.
The intent of the Bluetooth module is to permit the use of the Bluetooth GPS receiver but it can
also be used for many other tasks.
Bluetooth Hardware
The Bluetooth hardware is a CompactFlash card that is inserted in
the slot at the top of the unit. It may automatically turn on when it
is inserted. It can be turned on or off from the Bluetooth menu.
Use the Bluetooth icon on the command bar at the bottom of
the Today screen to manage the Bluetooth connections. Expect
some loss of battery life when the Bluetooth module is in use.
There will be small x in the lower corner of the Bluetooth icon if
the card is not present.
A lamp on the module blinks to remind you that it is in use and is
working. When it is receiving data is may turn solid on. The
Bluetooth antenna extends slightly above the PDA case and
contains this lamp.
If the Bluetooth module does not turn on automatically use the Bluetooth menu to Turn the
Radio on (or off).
The settings in the Menu can be used to reach Bluetooth connections if they have been
previously configured. In the case of the GPS connection it can configure itself automatically (see
“Enabling the Bluetooth Driver” on page 93.) This is also the place where the Bluetooth radio is
turned on or off and where the unit can be changed from hidden to discoverable. Be sure that it
is on before proceeding. To configure the devices and connections use the Bluetooth Manager.
