Overview for Connecting Bluetooth Devices
The process for connecting a Bluetooth device to the Tablet PC will
depend on the Bluetooth software application installed on your tablet
PC and the type of device you are connecting. The following flow chart
and description illustrates the typical steps required to connect
Bluetooth devices.
Set the Bluetooth Device to Discoverable Mode
Bluetooth devices must broadcast a signal to be discovered by another
device. Some devices broadcast continuously, while others must be
set to this mode.
Search for Bluetooth Devices In Range
The host device must be instructed to search for discoverable devices.
This process will find every Bluetooth device within 33 feet (10 meters)
that is available for connection.
Pair the Devices
Pairing is the process by which the Tablet PC and Bluetooth device
connect to each other with a unique four to seven-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN) code. The PIN code uniquely identifies the
device to the Tablet PC and thus prevents data from being intercepted
by another device. Most devices require a "pairing key" to be entered
by the user - which is usually provided in the device's documentation.
