Note

Part of this utility extends in the system of CLIÉ handheld. Therefore, it cannot be uninstalled.

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.
