5.4 Wireless Connection
The i5000 is equipped with Bluetooth
®
wireless transmission. When active (either incoming or outgoing), a blue
LED emits from the receiver’s top right corner. This can indicate that a Bluetooth camera phone, a transmitter,
or a PC or other device host is currently connected and transferring data to the receiver.
These “paired” devices will interact with the receiver within the 30 ft. (9m) range capability. See section 6.2.4 for
pairing devices to the i5000.
The transmitter’s software can be updated and maintained with access to Metrotech’s web service, MyLocator™,
and the Bluetooth wireless interface.
