Transferring Data via Bluetooth
Transferring Data via Bluetooth
With the optional Bluetooth device, you can transfer data between your
unit and a computer (or another device such as a smartphone) using the
Bluetooth technology. In all cases, you must ensure that the computer or
the device is compatible with the Bluetooth technology and configured
properly.
Note: Some devices that are compatible with Bluetooth technology only allow
data transfer between devices of the same manufacturer. In this case, you
will need to use another type of device or a standard computer to transfer
data from your unit.
Note: To save power when your unit is running on batteries, you may wish to
disconnect the Bluetooth device from your unit when you do not use it.
Your unit must be located within a 9-meter area from your computer
(limitation of the Bluetooth device).
Since transfer speed is limited for larger files (more than 1 GB), if you need
to transfer such files, you may want to use a USB key, or connect to a Wi-Fi
or an Ethernet network.
The procedure presented hereafter explains how to transfer data from your
unit to a computer.
Note: If you transfer files from a computer to your unit, they will be sent
automatically to the
This PC\Documents
folder on your unit.

MPORTANT
Depending on the operating system that your computer is running
(or on the smartphone that you are using), it is possible that only
data transfer secured with a passkey be allowed.
