Bluetooth® Setup and Config Procedure
A Bluetooth USB dongle is shipped with every TD / TD-MC system. This dongle
is tested to work with the TD unit and can be used if your Computer/Notebook
has no built in integrated Bluetooth Hardware. Since there are various ways to
use and configure Bluetooth under Windows operating systems, the following
procedures are provided to setup and use Bluetooth wireless TD measurement
system. You will need Administrator Privileges to install the drivers on certain
secure networks.

A: With use of External Dongle or B: Windows Supported Hardware
There are 2 different ways to set up a communication port, one is with
Windows directly supported, one is using the external dongle. See below
which procedure is to use with your computer.
Check Bluetooth Hardware
First check if your computer has a built in Bluetooth communications hardware
like most of the newer Notebooks have. Normally they are then already
configured to use Bluetooth.
In this case you will not need to use the external USB dongle nor should you
install the Bluetooth driver CD supplied.
If you are not sure if Bluetooth is installed and running please check with your
system administrator to verify if Bluetooth is supported on your computer
system.
Installed drivers show a white on blue B-Icon in the system tray on the right
bottom side of the desktop (Taskbar). Some Notebooks have separate
pushbuttons to switch it on/off.
If Bluetooth is already supported you can go directly to Step 3-B Setting up TD
Communication (Windows supported). If your system uses a different driver as
shown in this manual use the above mentioned parameters to set up
Communication.
