Radio use
The Trimble

All to turn off both radios. The status fields below the Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth buttons change to Off.
Deactivating the integrated radios
The GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld is shipped with wireless LAN and Bluetooth
wireless technology activated. To use the wireless LAN or Bluetooth radio, you need to
turn it on (see Turning on and turning off the integrated radios, page 78).
Note – You may need to deactivate the wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth radio in the
handheld if the country in which you are working does not approve the use of wireless LAN
and/or Bluetooth wireless technology. If you are unsure about whether the GeoExplorer
2008 series handheld’s radios are approved for use in your country, check with your
Trimble reseller.
Use the Radio Activation Manager software to deactivate the integrated wireless LAN
and/or Bluetooth radio, or to reactivate the radios if they have been deactivated. The
Radio Activation Manager software runs on an office computer.
