28 Using Bluetooth GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide
Connecting to a Bluetooth service as a client
You can use the GeoExplorer series handheld as a Bluetooth client. A
Bluetooth client uses services offered by Bluetooth host devices that are
within range.
For example, you can connect the handheld to a mobile phone that has an
internal modem, so that you can access the Internet. The mobile phone is
the host (because it is providing the Dial-up Networking (DUN) service) and
the handheld is a client using that service.
The GeoExplorer series handheld can connect to the following services:
