Using the Bluetooth Radio
58 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
The GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld can connect to the following
services:
Setting up a client serial port service
A serial port service creates a virtual serial port on the
GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld. You can use this port to connect
to another Bluetooth device, just as you would use a physical COM
port and a cable to connect to a physical serial port. Like a physical
port, the virtual serial port sends and receives data using the RS-232
serial communication protocol.
Unlike other Bluetooth connections, you do not need to bond with
the other device before you set up the client serial port connection.
This means you can set up serial port connections with devices that
otherwise you would not be able to bond with, such as the
GeoBeacon receiver, which does not have a keypad for entering a PIN.
For information about host serial port services, see Providing
Bluetooth services as a host, page 60.
Service Description
ActiveSync Enables an ActiveSync connection to a computer. To use
an ActiveSync service, enable the Bluetooth port on the
computer and then configure ActiveSync to use this
port. Bond with a device (see page 54) that has an
ActiveSync service, making sure that you select the
ActiveSync check box in the Bonded Devices tab of the
Bluetooth control. Then tap
/ Programs / ActiveSync
and tap Menu / Connect via Bluetooth.
Dial-Up Network
(DUN)
Connects the handheld to a mobile phone or modem
for dial-up network or Internet access. Bond with a
Bluetooth service (see page 54), tap
/ Settings /
Connections / Connections and then add a new dial-up
connection. From the list of modems, select the
Bluetooth mobile phone or modem that you have
connected to.

tasks, and appointments.
