You have now created a partnership between the GeoExplorer 6000 handheld and the
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:
• Connecting to a Bluetooth-enabled phone for Internet access or real-time
corrections (including VRS networks), page 94
• Connecting to a Bluetooth-enabled serial device, page 101
• Connecting to an office computer using Bluetooth wireless technology, page 104
Connecting to a Bluetooth-enabled phone for Internet access or
real-time corrections (including VRS networks)
If your GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld does not include the integrated cellular
modem, you can still connect to a cellular network using the Bluetooth radio to
connect to a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone. Use this type of connection to access a
VRS network or other correction source from the Internet, a background map server,
or for Internet and email access.
Note – Some cellular phones support the Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Networking)
service as well as the Bluetooth DUN (Dialup Networking) service. Because DUN
connections are more common, this section assumes you are making a dialup network
connection with the Bluetooth-enabled phone. For information on setting up a PAN service,
see Connecting to the Internet through a Bluetooth-enabled phone using the Bluetooth PAN
profile, page 100.
To connect to a Bluetooth-enabled phone using a Bluetooth DUN (Dialup Networking)
connection, you must:
1. Connect the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld to a Bluetooth-enabled phone
and then configure the connection to the dialup network.
2. Connect to the Internet using the dialup network.
