Activating the Bluetooth radio

GeoExplorer series handhelds are shipped with the integrated Bluetooth wireless technology deactivated. Before you can use the integrated Bluetooth radio, you must activate it. You may only activate the Bluetooth radio if:

You have a GeoExplorer series handheld with PN 49050-xx or 50950-xx
The Windows CE .NET or Windows Mobile 2003 operating system is installed on the handheld
Type approval for Bluetooth-enabled GeoExplorer series handhelds has been granted in the country where you will use the handheld

To activate the integrated Bluetooth radio:
