Hello, I would like to say, that today, I paired the gps receiver, since I knew I had performed a reset last night, so I did this. After doing the pairing, I went to the gps program and got 8 satellites in my living room, so I turned it off, knowing I had some time before I wanted it to work, and when I was ready, I turned it on, and everything worked fine. I turned the braillenote off and the receiver off as well, and several hours later, I turned it on and it worked great. I would say, that I used the serial earthmate and the blue logger, and each time I turned those on, I had to turn the receiver on first, so that was what I did with the holux, but I found out from some people on this list, to turn on the braillenote first, and that has made a world of diffforence. I can say, that I have read the manual backwards and forwards, and not once did I see that you should turn on the braillenote first, so, I would say if this is in there somewhere, I appologize, but if it is not, there should be a reference telling people that you must turn on the braillenote before turning on the Holux receiver. Thanks, Robert

Karl,

I may have missed it, but could you clarify the "exact" procedure

for

getting going each time with the Holux, once pairing is done?

I think I may have been going through a bit of trial and error as

to whether

the BN or Holux is switched on first, or BlueTooth enabled before

the Holux

is switched on . . .. I'd like a definite pattern to follow then

I can tell

you if it works always, often, sometimes or not very frequently.

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.

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
