3 Using the Wi-Fi (WLAN) and Bluetooth radios
also communicate with peripheral devices that use Bluetooth adaptors instead of serial or USB
connections.
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on the handheld's Bluetooth radio, and set up a paired
Bluetooth connection between the two devices. See Working with paired Bluetooth-enabled devices,
below.
Turn off the Bluetooth radio when it is not in use, to extend the charge of the handheld battery. You may
also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some locations. See Turning on and turning off the Wi-Fi
(WLAN)and Bluetooth radios, page 33.
To turn on the Bluetooth radio:
1. Tap Settings / Connected devices.
2. Make sure the Bluetooth radio is turned on. If it is not, tap the slider it to turn it on.
3. The MobileMapper 60 handheld has a generic name by default, which is visible to other devices when
you connect to them. You can change the name so that it is more recognizable. Tap Bluetooth, then
tap and tap Rename this device. Enter a sensible name for the handheld. Tap Rename.
Status bar icons indicate Bluetooth status.
Working with paired Bluetooth-enabled devices
Pairing the handheld with another Bluetooth-enabled device creates a permanent security bond
between the devices, which helps to exchange information securely between the devices. The paired
relationship is established when two devices create and exchange a link key. Once the relationship is
established, the handheld and the other Bluetooth device only need to have their Bluetooth radios turned
on to exchange information; they do not need to be visible to other devices.
You must pair the handheld with a device before you can connect to it. Once you pair the handheld with a
device, they stay paired unless you unpair them.
To pair with and connect to a Bluetooth device:
1. Tap Settings / Connected devices.
2. Make sure the Bluetooth radio is turned on. If it is not, tap the slider it to turn it on.
3. Tap Bluetooth. The handheld lists the Bluetooth devices it can detect. (If the device you want to
connect to is not listed, make sure it is discoverable; refer to the documentation for the device).
4. To set up a paired connection to a device, tap it in the list of Bluetooth devices. If you are prompted
to, enter a password (you will need to obtain this from the other device)or confirm that the security
code is the same on both devices; tap Pair.
If the pairing is successful, the handheld connects to the device. The device shows as connected in
the list.
