Using the Rugged Handheld Device
When Wi-Fi hotspot is enabled, a Wi-Fi hotspot icon will appear in the
Notification Area
.
3.5 Using the Bluetooth Feature
Bluetooth enables the wireless connection over a short distance about 8
meters. It is specified as a "wireless personal area network" (WPAN). The
GT-500 is Bluetooth-capable to synchronize data with other Bluetooth-capable
devices such as PCs, laptops, hands-free, headsets, printers, PDAs and cell
phones.
Before the GT-500 can connect a Bluetooth device, it needs to pair with that
device. Such “pairing” involves the authentication between them to justify their
accesses to each other. Once they are paired, they stay paired unless they are
unpaired.
3.5.1 Enabling Bluetooth and Pairing with Bluetooth Device
To enable or disable the Bluetooth function:
1. Tap Settings | Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if it isn't enabled yet.
Note: When Bluetooth is enabled, then the GT-500 is visible to nearby
devices.
2. If the Bluetooth device you want to pair with is not displayed in the
Available devices list, tap the menu icon to open the context menu and
select Refresh .
The GT-500 proceeds to scan for any Bluetooth device in range. Then it
displays the names of the device(s) found.
