Wireless communication with Bluetooth
With your Pocket PC with an integrated Bluetooth module you can communicate wirelessly with
other Bluetooth devices, e.g. with another Pocket PC, a notebook or a mobile phone.
Your Pocket PC with integrated Bluetooth is a Power Class 2 device, i.e. it has a maximum range of
10 meters. The range of the communication paths is shortened depending on the user environment
(e.g. walls or furniture), building structure and output power class of the partner.
Bluetooth supports many functions (
Services
), e.g. accessing the Internet and transmitting or
receiving data or e-mails.
In the following sections, you will find out how to put Bluetooth into operation.
The help file for the software on your Pocket PC explains how you operate the software concerned.
Selecting location for Bluetooth operation
●
We recommend that you use the Pocket PC with the Bluetooth components in a typical
operating environment. Other Bluetooth devices, which you want to communicate with, should
be located at a distance of up to 10 m.
●
Only install a partner device within the recommended distance. Observe the output power
class of the partner device when doing so. Details are contained in the operating manual of the
partner device.
●
Use the Pocket PC with the Bluetooth at least 2 m away from other electrical or electronic
systems. If you must use the Pocket PC near a microwave cooker, then maintain a distance of
at least 3 m from the microwave cooker, as the reception is subject to interference with regard
to microwaves.
●
Should problems result when communicating via Bluetooth because radios or radio devices
are located in the vicinity, then move the Pocket PC to a different location.
Activating and deactivating Bluetooth
You can switch
Bluetooth
on and off just as you wish. This enables you to also use your Pocket PC
wherever radio modules such as Bluetooth may not be operated, such as hospitals and aircraft
(please also observe the safety precautions in the "Safety" manual on this point). Switch off
Bluetooth at places like this. This will interrupt the Bluetooth connection.
►
Touch the Bluetooth symbol of the Today screen (the Bluetooth symbol is located on the right
in the bottom bar).
You can switch Bluetooth on and off here.
