Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet Client

8.Take your device for a spin. You can now begin using your Bluetooth device.

Important Actions To Perform If the Device Is Not Discovered

If the Tablet Client fails to detect the Bluetooth device after what you consider a reasonable number of attempts, try the following:

Make sure the Bluetooth LED is flashing. If not, open the Motion Dashboard and enable the Bluetooth Wireless radio button.

To open the Motion Dashboard:

Press the Dashboard button on the Tablet Client, or select Start > All Programs > Motion Resources > Motion Dashboard.

Make sure the device you are adding is discoverable. There are several things you need to check:

Install new or fully charged batteries in the Bluetooth device; make sure these are installed correctly

For keyboards, mice, printers, etc., read the instructions that came with the device or visit the device manufacturer’s website for information and other troubleshooting tips. Some devices have a button to press or a series of keys to press to make it discoverable.

For Tablet Clients transferring files, both Tablet Clients must turn on the device transfer wizard, although only the receiving Tablet Client needs to be discoverable. Tap the Bluetooth icon and then either “Send a file” or “Receive a file.” When you do this, discovery is automatically turned on for the receiving device.

Also for Tablet Clients, you need to enable “Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer” to connect to keyboards, mice, printers, etc. While this is the default, make sure that this setting has not been changed. You find this by right-clicking the Bluetooth icon > Show Bluetooth Devices > Options.

When you open the Bluetooth Devices tab, only the connected devices will be displayed. Other devices are only displayed when you add a device using the Bluetooth Device Wizard.
