1. Introduction 

 

The Hydrological Services BlueComms BC1 has been designed using surface mount 
technology to provide a small, robust, Bluetooth

TM

 interface for retrieving data from the 

MiniLog data logger in the field using a PDA. The unit is powered by 2 x AA alkaline 
batteries. The indicator LED gives immediate feedback of the battery condition as well as the 
Bluetooth connection status. 
 
Please note that this device is intended for short term use to retrieve data, or change settings – 
it is not intended to provide a permanent Bluetooth interface to a MiniLog data logger. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What is Bluetooth ? 
 
Bluetooth is the code name for a new wireless technology developed by Ericsson Inc., Intel 
Corp., Nokia Corp. and Toshiba. The technology enables data connections between electronic 
devices such as desktop computers, wireless phones, electronic organizers and printers in the 
2.4 GHz range. Bluetooth replaces cable or infrared connections for such devices.
