Performing a HotSync Operation by Bluetooth Communications for the First Time When you perform a HotSync operation for the first time between your CLI handheld and a Bluetooth compatible computer, you need to set the communication method and bond the computer to your CLI 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 20). 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. 14 1 Setting the communication method/Performing bonding For Bluetooth communications, set the communication method and bond a communication device to your CLI handheld.

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 CLI 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 15 or 22. If you have bonded a Bluetooth compatible device including a cellular phone to more than one CLI handheld using this Bluetooth Module, delete the bonding information on the device from the device itself and the CLI 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 CLI handheld, and then on again. Otherwise, remove this Bluetooth Module from the CLI handheld, and insert it again. The devices may be placed too close.
