NOTE:
i The INLINE™ 7 factory default is Bluetooth
®
mode in a Non-Discoverable
status. To confirm that the device is in Bluetooth
®
mode, press the Reset
button momentarily and the Wireless LED will illuminate blue.
The INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter is equipped with a Class 1 Bluetooth
®
module
with a range of up to 100m when communicating with another Class 1 Bluetooth
®
device. Most PCs that feature Integrated Bluetooth
®
are equipped with a Class 2
Bluetooth
®
module, which limits the useful range to around 10m.
For maximum wireless range, the use of an exter
nal, Class 1 USB Bluetooth
®
adapter (sold separately) is recommended.
There are two connection options:
• Connecting via a Class 1, external Bluetooth
®
adapter (recommended)
• Connecting via Integrated Bluetooth
®
The procedure for connecting via Integrated Bluetooth
®
is much the
same as connecting via an external Bluetooth
®
adapter. To connect
using your PC’s Integrated Bluetooth
®
, skip Steps 3 and 4 on page 33
of the following procedure.

NOTE:
i Depending on the Bluetooth
®
adapter you are using for your wireless con-
nection, you may need to install the necessary Bluetooth
®
drivers. For
some adapters the drivers will install automatically.
