There are a couple of related issues worth pointing out:
First, even with Keysoft version 7, BrailleNote PK users are still
losing speech for no reason. The only way to reenable speech is with a
c1 c4 power recycle. This of course affects bluetooth settings.
Secondly, even though Keysoft seems to retain certain settings after a
reset such as the time and date, last files and folder browsed, last
database opened, etc., the GPS maps and poi folder setting is lost and
has to be reset from the default flash disk\ maps setting. It's too bad
that either this setting couldn't be retained after a normal reset or
that the default maps and poi folder couldn't be "CompactFlash\Maps and
POI" since I would imagine that most people are using a cf card and not
storing their map and poi data on the flash disk.

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!

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
