Hi Kevin,
You were one of the people who helped me out originally when I bought my Gps. I have followed your steps and my receiver has not gone out as yet. Maybe it is your particular receiver.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Problems with paring with Holux

Dear GPS listserv,

I have notice while using the Holux reciever that for some odd
reason it
will lose the bluetooth connection between the BrailleNote and
the reciever,
this will occur when I am in the gps program, it isn't because it
is out of
the bluetooth range, I have notice this occuring while either
when I am
walking, so the reciever is fastened in the shoulder strap and
the
BrailleNote is about hip levvel. I am certtain that it isn't a
matter of the
bluetooth being out of range.

I have also notice the same incident occuring when I am traveling
in a
vehicle. When I am traveling in a vehicle, I will place the
reciever on the
dash and have the BrailleNote on my lap in the front passenger
seat. I would
say that in both incidents at all times the reciever is no more
than 3 feet
away from the brailleNote, so aI am certain that it isn't a
matter of the
bluetooth being out of range, because if it was a matter of the
bluetooth
being out of range, then I would of noticed the same thing
occuring with
the BlueLogger , which I have never seen happened.

I have also notice that when I am switching both the BrailleNote
and the
Holux off for aperiod of time, then turning it back on when I
need to use
it, that sometimes the two devices will pair and activesync will
be active,
but when I go into the GPS Program it says "bluetooth reciever
not
detected." Then after a while with switching the Holux off and on
and
switching bluetooth off and on, it will suddenly come back and
will have a
fix. I have notice that this can take as long as 30 seconds to
5 minutes,
which I find pretty excessive.

I will list the steps that I go through when turning off the
BrailleNote and
the Holux, I have tried turning them off two different ways to
see if that
would make a difference, which I have not found to be true.
Technique 1.
1. While in the GPS Program, hit space bar with dots 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, to
get to the main menu.
2. hit the spacebar with the letter o to get to options menu
3. hit the letter c for connectivity
4. hit the letter b for bluetooth.
5. when it ask is bluetooth on, I will press the letter n for
no.
6. Then I will turn off the Holux
8. Then I will return back to the main menu, and turn off the 
BrailleNote

Technique 2.
1. While in the GPS Program, I will turn off the recievver, it
will say
"bluetooth reciever not detected."
2. I will then return to the main menu
3. I will go to options, connectivity, bluetooth, I will see if
bluetooth is
off, if it isn't I will turn it off.
4. Then I will return back to the main menu and turn off the 
BrailleNote.

I will list the steps below that I use when turning on the two
devices,
again I tried two different ways to see if that would make a
difference, it
turns out that it doesn't.
Technique 1.
1. Turn on the Holux
2. Turn on the BrailleNote
3. Go into options, connectivity, bluetooth, turn it on, check
to see if the 
Holux is paired and active.
4.  I will then go into the GPS program

Technique 2.
1. Turn the BrailleNote on, then go into options, connectivity,
bluetooth, 
turn on bluetooth, then make sure it is paired and active.
2.  turn on the Holux
3.  Open the GPS Program.

I am not sure if the issue lies in the steps that I am going
through, which
I don't think it does; I don't think that it is the steps,
because these are
the same steps that I went through using the BlueLogger and it
worked just
fine. I just thought that I would list the steps just in case
there is one
that I should use over the other.

So, I am wondering if any of you have also experience the
bluetooth reciever
not detected message showing up whihle you are in the GPS
program, and not
being able to make the bluetooth connection work between the
BrailleNote
after you have checked to see that they were indeed paired and
active. If
you have found a special technique that you have found to work
flawlessly,
do share. If none of you have experience this same issue, then
it might be a
matter of me having a defected reciever, which I will phone my 
dealer about.

Thank you for taking your time in reading this post, and I am
looking
forward to what you are able to suggest.

Kevin
