If the device is not discovered…
If the Bluetooth device is not detected after multiple attempts, try the following:
• Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled (page 41).

documentation for more information.
• Ensure that the Bluetooth device has good batteries.

Bluetooth wireless tips
Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a positive experience
with this technology, and to ensure Bluetooth interoperability. In doing so, we have found
the following issues:
• If you are running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, interference can affect the
Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable when you try to transfer large amounts
of data, such as transferring files or printing large documents.
• Some Bluetooth devices will disconnect when they go into power-saving mode. Most
devices will automatically reconnect when they become active again.
• Occasionally, some Bluetooth device compatibility issues can occur. If you have
problems with interoperability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of the
device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software on the system.
• The tablet comes with Bluetooth software from Microsoft, although you can use other
Bluetooth software. For more information, go to the Motion Computing Knowledge
Base at www.motioncomputing.com/kb and search for “Bluetooth”.
