GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using Bluetooth 25
Using Bluetooth
The GeoExplorer series handheld has an integrated Bluetooth radio that
you can use to establish a wireless connection to other Bluetooth devices
that are within range. Using a Bluetooth connection, you can communicate
with devices such as mobile phones, desktop computers, handhelds, and
digital cameras. You can also communicate with peripheral devices that
use Bluetooth adaptors instead of serial or USB connections.
To communicate using a Bluetooth connection, a client device scans the
Bluetooth radio frequency to “discover” other Bluetooth devices. Once it
has discovered a host, the client selects the service that it will use. A
service defines what type of information can be transferred to or from the
host, and how.
The handheld can be used as a client or as a host, and can act as both at
the same time.
