Performing a HotSync Operation

After inserting this Bluetooth Module in your CLIÉ handheld, you can perform a wireless HotSync operation between your CLIÉ handheld and a Bluetooth compatible Windows computer.

Performing a HotSync Operation by Bluetooth Communications for the First Time

When you perform a HotSync operation for the first time between your CLIÉ handheld and a Bluetooth compatible computer, you need to set the communication method and bond the computer to your CLIÉ handheld. The following is the procedure of performing a HotSync operation by Bluetooth communications for the first time. From the second time, see “Performing a HotSync Operation for the Second Time and Thereafter” (page 21).

z What is “bonding”?

To enable Bluetooth communication between this Bluetooth Module and another Bluetooth compatible device, the device must be identified. This process is referred to as “bonding,” which is necessary to prevent access from unauthorized Bluetooth compatible devices. A common Passkey is used to bond the device to this Bluetooth Module.

z What is a Passkey?

A Passkey is a secret code entered by the user to enable two Bluetooth compatible devices to communicate. When the same alphanumeric string is entered at both devices, communication becomes possible. The Passkey may be changed for every communication session as long as the same one is used for both devices. Once a valid link has been established, communication is possible without further Passkey input for a preset period of time.

General problems

Symptom

Communication is not possible.

Connection cannot be established.

A device discovery cannot find a Bluetooth compatible device.

Cause/Remedy

•The Bluetooth communication range may be exceeded. Decrease the distance between this Bluetooth Module and the other Bluetooth compatible device.

•No device may have bonded to the CLIÉ handheld and the other Bluetooth compatible device (Bonding may not have been completed on these devices). Perform bonding again referring to the instructions on page 16 or 23.

•If you have bonded a Bluetooth compatible device including a cellular phone to more than one CLIÉ handheld using this Bluetooth Module, delete the bonding information on the device from the device itself and the CLIÉ handhelds.

•The Bluetooth function may be off on the part of Bluetooth compatible device. Activate the Bluetooth communications referring to the manual or online manual of the device.

•Turn off the power of your CLIÉ handheld, and then on again. Otherwise, remove this Bluetooth Module from the CLIÉ handheld, and insert it again.

•The devices may be placed too close. Increase the distance between them.

23).

The actual communication range may be less than 10 meters depending on factors such as obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, interference, reception sensitivity or antenna’s performance, and operating system or software application, etc. Change the installation location of this Bluetooth Module, or decrease the distance between devices.

The data transfer rate varies, depending on factors such as distance, obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, interference, reception sensitivity or antenna’s performance, and operating system or software application, etc. Change the installation location of this Bluetooth Module, or decrease the distance between devices.

correctly? Check the details of the respective agreements with your Telecommunications Company and Internet Service Provider about the services you are using, e.g., telephone circuit type.

- Are the Connection settings correct? If

you use a cellular phone or a modem, select [Modem], and if you use a LAN access point, select [Local Network]. (See page 24)

•Perform bonding again following the instructions in “Accessing the Internet by Bluetooth Communications for the First Time” on page 22.

Symptom
