| Chapter 4 Using Your Motion Tablet PC |
|
|
BLUETOOTH | Built into your Motion M1400 Tablet PC is a Bluetooth wireless radio, part |
WIRELESS | of an emerging technology of products designed to eliminate cables through |
RADIO | a |
INSTALLATION | designed to provide wireless operations between devices such as keyboards, |
AND SET UP | mice, and printers as well as Tablet PCs and cellular phones. |
| Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a |
| positive experience with this technology, as well as to ensure Bluetooth |
| interoperability. In doing so, the following operating issues have been found: |
| • When simultaneously operating Bluetooth wireless and 802.11 wireless, |
| interference between these wireless technologies impacts Bluetooth per- |
| formance. This is most noticeable with the transfer of large amounts of |
| data, such as file transfers, printing large documents, or using a Blue- |
| tooth device for audio. |
| • Bluetooth audio support for the M1400 Tablet PC is currently based on |
| Bluetooth technology that has not yet been fully developed for speech |
| recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you |
| do not use a wireless Bluetooth headset. |
| • Because Bluetooth is a relatively new technology, some |
| compatibility issues may occur. If you are having problems with interop- |
| erability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of your Blue- |
| tooth device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software |
| installed on your Tablet PC. |
| The next sections contain general information for setting up a Bluetooth |
| device. For information about a particular Bluetooth device, be sure to read |
| the manufacturer’s documentation, visit their website, or select Help. |
| Installing the Bluetooth Software |
| IMPORTANT: To operate your Bluetooth device, first install the Bluetooth |
| software, which is part of the Tablet PC software image. No separate installation |
| CD is required. |
| 1. With your pen, tap Start>All Programs>Motion Resources>Blue- |
| tooth>Bluetooth Readme. |
| 2. Follow the steps in the Readme to install and configure the Bluetooth |
| software. When the installation is complete, |
| a white Bluetooth icon appears the System |
| Tray. |
