Performing a HotSync Operation

After inserting this Bluetooth Module in your CLIÉ handheld, you can perform a wireless HotSync operation between your CLIÉ handheld and a Bluetooth compatible Windows computer.

Performing a HotSync Operation by Bluetooth Communications for the First Time

When you perform a HotSync operation for the first time between your CLIÉ handheld and a Bluetooth compatible computer, you need to set the communication method and bond the computer to your CLIÉ handheld.

The following is the procedure of performing a HotSync operation by Bluetooth communications for the first time. From the second time, see “Performing a HotSync Operation for the Second Time and Thereafter” (page 21).

What is "bonding"?

To enable Bluetooth communication between this Bluetooth Module and another Bluetooth compatible device, the device must be identified. This process is referred to as “bonding,” which is necessary to prevent access from unauthorized Bluetooth compatible devices. A common Passkey is used to bond the device to this Bluetooth Module.

What is a Passkey?

A Passkey is a secret code entered by the user to enable two Bluetooth compatible devices to communicate. When the same alphanumeric string is entered at both devices, communication becomes possible. The Passkey may be changed for every communication session as long as the same one is used for both devices. Once a valid link has been established, communication is possible without further Passkey input for a preset period of time.

General problems

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
Communication is not possible.Connection cannot be established.A device discovery cannot find a Bluetooth compatible device.	The Bluetooth communication range may be exceeded. Decrease the distance between this Bluetooth Module and the other Bluetooth compatible device.No device may have bonded to the CLIÉ handheld and the other Bluetooth compatible device (Bonding may not have been completed on these devices). Perform bonding again referring to the instructions on page 16 or 23.If you have bonded a Bluetooth compatible device including a cellular phone to more than one CLIÉ handheld using this Bluetooth Module, delete the bonding information on the device from the device itself and the CLIÉ handheld.The Bluetooth function may be off on the part of Bluetooth compatible device. Activate the Bluetooth communications referring to the manual or online manual of the device.Turn off the power of your CLIÉ handheld, and then on again. Otherwise, remove this Bluetooth Module from the CLIÉ handheld, and insert it again.The devices may be placed too close. Increase the distance between them.
A message appears indicating that Bluetooth accessory cannot be found.	Remove this Bluetooth Module from the CLIÉ handheld, and insert it again.
The message “The server does not respond” or “A modem cannot be found” appears, and communication is not possible.	·A wrong Passkey may have been entered. Perform bonding again and enter the correct Passkey. (See pages 18 and 25). ·A Software or old link key that cannot respond to a Passkey exchange request from other devices may have been stored. Perform bonding again. (See pages 16 and 23).
Communication is not possible although distance between this Bluetooth Module and the other Bluetooth compatible device is less than 10 meters.	The actual communication range may be less than 10 meters depending on factors such as obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, interference, reception sensitivity or antenna's performance, and operating system or software application, etc. Change the installation location of this Bluetooth Module, or decrease the distance between devices.
Data transfer speed is slow.	The data transfer rate varies, depending on factors such as distance, obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, interference, reception sensitivity or antenna's performance, and operating system or software application, etc. Change the installation location of this Bluetooth Module, or decrease the distance between devices.

HotSync operation problems

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
A HotSync operation cannot be performed.	·Ensure that the icon is displayed on the task tray on your Windows computer display and that HotSync Manager is running.

• Do not use or store this unit in locations subject to:

- extremely high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near a heater.

- excessive dust

- high humidity

- vibrations

- poor ventilation

It may cause a malfunction.

• Do not use this unit in a shaky, unstable place.
• Do not put a metal object such as a metal clip etc. inside this unit.
• When inserting this unit in the CLIÉ handheld, take care not to force it in the wrong way. It may cause a malfunction.
• Do not remove this unit from the CLIÉ handheld while the POWER indicator is on. Before removing it, make sure that the POWER indicator is off.
• The CLIÉ handheld in which this unit inserted and a Bluetooth compatible device may operate incorrectly depending on how they are placed.

Condensation

Condensation is a phenomenon that moisture in the air becomes water drops when it contacts a metal plate etc. Condensation may occur on the surface or inside of this Bluetooth Module on occasions when you quickly move it from a cold place to a warm place, when you turn on the heater in the room on a cold, winter morning. Using this Bluetooth Module with condensation on it may cause a malfunction. If condensation occurs on this Bluetooth Module, leave it without turning on the power of the CLIÉ handheld until the condensation disappears.

Communication (If You Use a Cellular Phone)

• If you have performed an unnecessary line feed or entered alphanumeric string of three lines or more in the user name of the [Network] settings on the [Preferences] screen of the CLIÉ handheld, authentication may not be carried out correctly because the unnecessary line feed or string is not displayed.
• Communication is not possible in places where radio wave does not reach. Bluetooth communications is data communication. Therefore, even if you are in a place where you can talk on the cellular phone, you may not be able to perform Bluetooth communications there. For detailed information, contact your mobile communications company.
• Connection may not be performed correctly if you move the cellular phone in to and out from the service area of your mobile communications company.
• Depending on time or the radio wave conditions, data communication may not be possible. In this case, move the cellular phone to a different place, or try to establish a connection again after waiting for a while.
• In a roaming area, data communication may not be possible, and the service you are usually using may be unavailable. For details, contact your mobile communications company.
• It is impossible to send/receive fax messages using this Bluetooth Module.
