other Bluetooth-enabled device so that they can communicate. To start using the
connection, you must complete the configuration steps for that type of connection and
then connect to the device. For more information, see:

Tip – You only need to pair the handheld with a device before you connect to the device
for the first time.
Setting up a connection to a non-paired device
Setting up a connection to a non-paired device enables you to connect to a device that
does not allow you to enter a passcode on the device, or that does not automatically
exchange a pre-programmed passkey during pairing.
To set up a non-paired connection to a Bluetooth-enabled device:
1. Make sure that the handheld and the Bluetooth device you want to connect to
are within five meters of each other, and that the Bluetooth radio in each device
is turned on.
2. Tap
/ Settings / Connections / Bluetooth.
3. In the Devices tab, tap Add new device. The
handheld searches for other Bluetooth devices
and displays them in the list.
4. Tap the name of the device you want to connect
to and then tap
Next on the right softkey.
The Enter Passcode screen appears.
5. Tap
Next without entering a passcode.
6. If prompted to add the device to your device list,
tap
No.
The Partnership Settings screen appears.
7. If required, change the name of the device in the
Display Name field.
8. Select the service(s) you want to use with this device. For example, if you are
connecting to:
– a Bluetooth-enabled phone to connect to the Internet and receive real-time
corrections or download background maps, select Dialup Networking
(DUN).
– a serial device, such as a GeoBeacon receiver or a laser rangefinder, select
Serial Port.
