1.3 UNINSTALL A PRIOR VERSION OF BTW-CE

1 Introduction To the Bluetooth Software

BTW-CE is the Bluetooth software included with your DCF-650BT and is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into devices that use the Pocket PC operating system. It provides Pocket PCs with the means to:

· Locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry)

· Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery)

· Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services

· Enable/disable individual services

· Security features, on a service-by-service basis, including:

• Authentication

• Authorization

• Encryption.

This User’s Guide is divided into four major sections:

· Introduction to the Bluetooth Software

· Using the Bluetooth Control Panel

· Using the Bluetooth Manager

· Using Remote Device Services—an overview of how to use services provided by remote Bluetooth devices.

1.1 BLUETOOTH ICON

The Bluetooth icon in the lower-right corner of the Today screen provides quick access to the Bluetooth Control Panel.

It also provides visual feedback about whether Bluetooth is “on” or “off”:

· When BTW-CE is active (“on”) the Bluetooth icon is blue

· If BTW-CE is disabled (“off”) the icon appears grayed with a red X in the lower right corner

The prior version of BTW-CE will be uninstalled on both the handheld and desktop computers (follow any additional on-screen instructions that may appear on the desktop computer to complete the uninstall process).

Figure 1: ActiveSync’s Tools > Add/Remove Programs... dialog box

When the Bluetooth hardware is an expansion device (Compact Flash Card), power is enabled/disabled by inserting/removing the card (Figure 4).
