GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using Bluetooth 27
Making the handheld Discoverable
If you want to set up a bond with another Bluetooth device, or if you want
to use the handheld as a host device, you need to make the handheld
Discoverable. A discoverable device can be detected by other devices
when they scan.
To turn on the Bluetooth radio:
1. Tap
/
Settings
/
Connections
/
Bluetooth
.
2. In the
Mode
tab, tap the
Discoverable
option.
Bonding with a Bluetooth device
Creating a bond between the handheld and another Bluetooth device
helps to exchange information securely between the devices. Once a bond
is created, the handheld and the other Bluetooth device only need to have
their Bluetooth radios turned on to exchange information; they do not need
to be in discoverable mode.
To bond with a Bluetooth device:
1. Make sure that the handheld and
the Bluetooth device you want to
bond with are within 5 meters of
each other, and that Bluetooth is
in Discoverable mode on both
devices.
2. Tap
/
Settings
/
Connections
/
Bluetooth
, and tap
the
Bonded Devices
tab.
3. In the Bonded Devices list, tap
New. The handheld searches for
other Bluetooth devices and
displays them in the list.
4. Tap the name of the device you
want to bond with, and tap Next.
5. In the
PIN
field, enter a PIN of between 1 and 16 characters and tap
Next.
6. Enter the same PIN on the other device.
7. In the
Name
field, change the name of the device if required.
8. Tap Finish.
Tip — You only need to create a bond once between two devices.
