I have an interesting comment about this bluetooth business.
I use the pk for the gps primarily. Yesterday, my pk did a total reset on me which put everything back to the factory defaults.
I went in this morning andturned the bluetooth on after turning on the Hollux.
Ok here is where things got interesting. It told me that bluetooth was not on so I typed y.
Now it went on to tell me that the machine was unable to start bluetooth.
Ok not wanting to give up, I did a reset with no keys down except the 2 control keys on the right hand side.
Ok here is what is so intriguing. When I again went into the connectivity menu, I found to my delight that thebluetooth was on and I was able to then pair with the hollux and we were off in a jiffy because the receiver had already come into contact with the satellites.
Happy traveling, everybody!

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Bluetooth connection procedure



Hello everyone: I have read the message thread on Bluetooth connection problems and have experienced the same myself, running version 3.5 on the MPower. Since I'm a linear thinking kind of guy, here is what I understand the recommended procedure to be:

Once the holux has been paired, activesync is on, and Bluetooth is on:

1. Turn the holux on.
2. Turn the Braille note on and wait for several seconds.
3. Run the GPS program.
4. A hard reset will destroy the pairing.
5. An ordinary reset may cause the Bluetooth function of the bN to be
turned off.

If the above is not correct, please let me know.

Thanks!

Scott
