6 Getting Connected
100 GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide
To manually reconnect the Trimble GNSS field software to the Internet source that is
providing real-time differential corrections, open the software and then tap the
Ext
Source
button that appears below the status bar in the Setup section.
Connecting to the Internet through a Bluetooth-enabled phone using the
Bluetooth PAN profile
This section describes how to set up a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN)
connection for Internet access, using Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone.
The PAN service is not available on GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld models which
have an integrated modem.
Making a Bluetooth PAN connection with a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone is
similar to making a Bluetooth Dialup Networking (DUN) connection (see Connecting
to a Bluetooth-enabled phone for Internet access or real-time corrections (including
VRS networks), page 94), in that it enables the handheld to access the Internet. If PAN
connections are supported by your cellular phone, the advantages of using a PAN
connection rather than a DUN connection are:
• PAN connections are easier to set up.
• PAN connections automatically attempt to reconnect when the handheld is
resumed from being suspended or shut down.
To access the Internet using a Bluetooth PAN connection to a Bluetooth-enabled
cellular phone, you must:
1. Pair the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld with a cellular phone that supports
the Bluetooth PAN profile.
2. Enable the PAN connection on the handheld.
Step 1: Pairing with the cellular phone
1. Make sure that the handheld and the Bluetooth device you want to pair with are
within five meters of each other, and that the Bluetooth radio in each device is
turned on.
2. On the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld, tap / Settings / Bluetooth.
3. In the Devices tab, tap Add new device. The handheld searches for other
Bluetooth devices and displays them in the list.
If the device you are trying to connect is not displayed in the list, ensure that the
device is on and within range and then tap Refresh to search for devices again.
4. Tap the name of the device you want to pair with and then tap
Next on the right
softkey.
5. In the Passcode field, enter a passcode of your choice (between 1 and 16
characters).
