Many phones allow the user to set whether or not the phone is visible to other
Bluetooth devices. Either setting (‘visible’ or ‘not visible’) is acceptable, but it is
generally preferable to set it to ‘not visible’ provided that this does not upset any
other device or application
Upload of Vehicle Unit and Card Data Files
To upload a data file (which has previously been downloaded to the memory card
in the Digidown unit) first start the ‘Digidown Application’ on your phone. From
the ‘Welcome’ screen select ‘Run’ and press ‘Start’. The phone will then check its
internet connection and then begin searching for a Digidown unit.
Press the Bluetooth button on the Digidown Blue unit. Initially the blue LED will
come on and then will start flashing slowly (about once every 2 – 3 seconds).
Alternatively, insert a card into the Digidown CR unit and wait for the blue
Bluetooth light to begin flashing.
When the phone finds the Digidown unit (having perhaps found and rejected one
or more other Bluetooth devices) it will indicate that it has found the unit. If it is
the first time it has seen this Digidown unit it will ask for a pass code – enter
6543
. It will then make a connection to the Digidown unit and start uploading
the data file to the phone.
When the upload starts the blue LED on the Digidown unit will start flashing more
quickly (about twice per second). During the upload, a progress bar will indicate
the transfer of files through the phone. Once a file has been uploaded then it will
be sent as an e-mail. Finally the phone display will indicate that the upload has
been completed and (if no more files are to be sent) will close the connection to
the Digidown unit.
If another data file is available then the file upload process will be repeated for
each file up to the session maximum number of files to be sent has been reached
or until there are no more files to upload.
Phone Message Display
Depending on the precise phone manufacturer and model, a number of different
messages might be displayed by the phone whilst using the Digidown phone
application.
‘Allow application to use connectivity applications’ – the phone is asking for
permission to use the Bluetooth function (and permission is needed). Some
phones will the offer the option ‘Allow once’, Allow for this session’ or ‘Always
allow’ – select whichever you prefer.
‘Allow network access’ or ‘Allow application to use network and send or receive
data?’– the phone is asking for permission to connect to the internet.
‘Select connection’ or ‘Select access point’ – the phone has a number of different
possible ways of connecting to the internet and you are being asked which one to
use.
Some phones support Wi-Fi. If the phone does and Wi-Fi access is available then
this can often be a lower cost way of getting internet access.
