Support Module connection (USB)
The support module provides a fast, simple USB connection between the
GeoExplorer series handheld and a computer.
To connect using the support module:
1. Connect the USB data cable to the USB port on the support module.
2. Place the handheld in the support module. For more information, see
Getting started, page 6.
3. Connect the other end of the USB data cable to a USB port on the
computer.
Bluetooth connection
You can use the handheld’s integrated Bluetooth radio to establish a
wireless serial connection to a computer that is enabled with Bluetooth
wireless technology. For more information, see Using Bluetooth, page 25.
Serial clip connection
If you have purchased the optional serial clip, you can use it instead of the
support module to establish a serial connection to the computer. For more
information, see Using the optional serial clip, page 34.
Tip — You can configure the Connection Manager in the GPS Pathfinder Office
software installed on your computer to automatically detect when you connect
a GeoExplorer series handheld to the computer, enabling you to automatically
transfer data from TerraSync, differentially correct the data, and then export it
to a GIS. For more information, refer to the GPS Pathfinder Office Help.
