If the Bluetooth card in the Tablet PC still fails to detect the Bluetooth device, contact the device manufacturer or visit their website for assistance. NOTE: A system reboot is not required. The Bluetooth device is ready to use.
• Bluetooth audio support is currently based on technology that has not been fully developed for speech recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. Moreover, the Motion Speak Anywhere technology is designed to record clear audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without the need for any type of microphone headset.
