My Bluetooth device doesn’t work properly

Some issues arise when using Bluetooth devices as listed below.

Bluetooth wireless tips

Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a positive experience with this technology and to ensure Bluetooth interoperability. In doing so, we have found the following issues:

Interference—If you are running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, interference can affect the Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable if:

You try to transfer large amounts of data, such as file transfers

Several Bluetooth devices are operating in an office simultaneously

Speech Recognition—Bluetooth audio has not been fully developed for speech recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. A better solution is to use Motion Speak Anywhere, which can record clear audio, dictate notes and use voice commands without a microphone headset.

Disconnection—Some Bluetooth devices will disconnect when they go into power- saving mode. Most devices will automatically reconnect when they become active again.

Incompatible drivers—If you attempt to install other wireless headset or other audio drivers (such as Bluetooth or USB) over the tablet PC audio drivers, a malfunction of the tablet PC audio system may occur because the drivers may not be compatible.

Interoperability—If you are having problems with interoperability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software installed on your tablet PC.

Security—Bluetooth devices use a passkey to create a secure connection between the tablet PC and the Bluetooth device. Although the passkey exchange helps to secure your data, Bluetooth wireless technology should not be considered completely secure.
