Using the Bluetooth Radio
54 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
Enabling Flight mode
Aviation authority regulations can restrict the use of radios on board
aircraft. You may be required to turn off the handheld or radios.
When Flight mode is enabled, the handheld cannot send or receive
Bluetooth or WLAN signals.
To enable Flight mode, do one of the following:
• Tap / Settings / System / Power / Wireless tab. Select Wireless
signals off (Flight mode).
• Tap in the title bar and then tap Turn on flight mode.
Making the handheld discoverable
If you want to set up a bond with another Bluetooth device, or if you
want to use the handheld as a host device, you need to make the
handheld Discoverable. A discoverable device can be detected by
other devices when they scan.
To make the handheld discoverable:
1. Tap / Settings / Connections / Bluetooth.
2. In the Mode tab, select the Make this device discoverable to other
devices check box.
Bonding with a Bluetooth device
Creating a bond between the handheld and another Bluetooth device
helps to exchange information securely between the devices. Once a
bond is created, 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 in discoverable mode.
To bond with a Bluetooth device:
1. Make sure that the handheld and the Bluetooth device you want
to bond with are within five meters of each other, and that
Bluetooth is in Discoverable mode on both devices.
2. Tap
/ Settings / Connections / Bluetooth and then tap the
Devices tab.
