I haven't considered it a difficulty yet but it just was different.
Yesterday was not the first time I have had this problem, but I just chalked
it up as a bug somewhere and went about my business.

Rob and List,
I need to better understand these issues as I am not receiving complaints
about this issue. I am using both the PK and mPower with various receivers
including the Holux. I have not experienced this issue and to the best of my
knowledge the BlueTooth connection should follow the procedures I stated in
the previous post.
The Sendero GPS program does not handle any of the Bluetooth connectivity
functions. All we do is examine the status. Keysoft does all the Bluetooth
pairing and connecting. There were some improvements in Keysoft 7.0 over
Keysoft 6.1 and 6.2.
I will pass these comments to Humanware and continue to test in this area.
Any comments or difficulty in this area would be appreciated. I am sure
that Humanware would be very interested in any difficulty you are having in
this area. The resolution of any problems in the Bluetooth connectivity
area will have to be in the Keysoft area. So please advise Humanware of
these issues.
We will continue to work with our users and Humanware to assure that this issue is being addressed. I do need your feedback and comments to be able to address this issue effectively.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that pairing fails about 40% of the time at least on the pk with Keysoft and Gps versions 7.0 and 3.5, respectively. I don't recall the exact error message, but it is similar to "failed to pair bluetooth device." Typing 0000 isn't that difficult so I've by now ruled out user error. It seemed to have started with Keysoft 7.

Hi, I have the same issue with my pk. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times to pare the receiver with the unit and I have to do the same c 3 4 reset to get it to work.

Hi,
My pk sometimes behaves just as you have described.

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
