Bluetooth Wireless Connections
The internal Bluetooth wireless radio in the Tablet PC is disabled by default.
This setting is found in the Motion Dashboard on the Wireless panel.
Bluetooth software comes pre-installed on your Tablet PC. To begin using
Bluetooth, open the Motion Dashboard, Wireless panel and check the box
that enables your internal wireless Bluetooth radio. The Bluetooth software
completes it’s installation. Refer to the step-by-step instructions that follow
for more information about Bluetooth wireless operations.
How To Access Bluetooth. When you
first enable Bluetooth on your Tablet
PC, you will see a Bluetooth icon in the
system tray. This icon offers shortcuts to the Bluetooth Settings window,
the Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard, and the Add New Connection Wizard.
Press and hold the pen tip on the Bluetooth icon to open the Bluetooth
Settings menu.
Bluetooth Device Connection Process. The following process is
generally common for connecting most Bluetooth devices (keyboard,
mouse, printer, cellular phone, PDA, Tablet PC, notebook PC, etc.). The
actual steps may be slightly different for every type and brand of Bluetooth
device. Read and follow the installation instructions included with your
specific device. These are the four generic steps for connecting to a
Bluetooth device.
1. Discover
2. Search
3. Pair
4. Connect
1. Make the device discoverable. Making a Bluetooth device discoverable
makes it visible to other Bluetooth devices. Each Bluetooth device uses a
different method (pressing a button or key combination) to make it
discoverable; this is generally described in the device’s documentation.
When you activate Bluetooth on your Tablet PC it is the signal for the Tablet
PC to look for, or discover, any Bluetooth devices within range.
2. Search for Bluetooth devices in range. This process will find every
Bluetooth device that is discoverable and available for connection within 33
feet (10 meters).
