ActiveSync over Bluetooth
If your PC is Bluetooth-enabled, it is possible to establish a
Bluetooth ActiveSync connection between your unit and the PC.
Confirm that ActiveSync 4.1 or higher is installed on the PC, and
that Bluetooth on the PC is enabled and configured to be
discoverable.
On your unit, confirm that Bluetooth is enabled, and tap
Start /
Programs / ActiveSync / Menu / Connect via Bluetooth
. When
the Bluetooth settings window opens, tap
New Partnership
. Wait a
few moments while your unit searches for Bluetooth devices in the
vicinity. Select the PC from the list and tap
Next
. Enter any passkey
on the device and tap
Next
; enter the same passkey when prompted
by the PC. On your unit, confirm that the ActiveSync service is
available and selected, and tap
Finish
.
Once the Bluetooth partnership has been created, you can establish
a Bluetooth ActiveSync connection by tapping
Start / Programs /
ActiveSync / Menu / Connect via Bluetooth
.
If you have difficulty connecting over Bluetooth ActiveSync, open
ActiveSync on the PC and confirm that serial connections are
enabled (they are disabled by default in ActiveSync 4.1). Confirm
that the serial port being used by ActiveSync is the serial port which
corresponds to the Bluetooth serial port connection profile on the PC.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth connection problems
If your unit cannot find another Bluetooth device, confirm that the
device is within range (less than 10 meters / 30 feet) of other
Bluetooth-enabled devices. Also confirm that the device is turned on
and has been configured to be discoverable. Bluetooth devices such
as printers and cell phones are typically not discoverable by default.
