Making Bluetooth connections
There are several ways you can make Bluetooth connections. The method you use
determines the types of devices your handheld can discover. The following
methods enable you to discover the types of Bluetooth devices that are within
range:
■
Using an Internet application:
Access the Internet using the Palm Web Browser
Pro and the Palm WAP Browser applications included on the Software
Essentials CD-ROM. See
“Accessing the Internet with a Bluetooth phone or
later in this chapter and the Palm Web Browser Pro Handbook
and the Palm WAP Browser Handbook on the Software Essentials CD-ROM for
details.
■
Using the Send command:
Connect to a Palm OS handheld or a computer to
exchange data or applications. See
for details on
using this method.
■
Using HotSync Manager software:
Connect to your computer to synchronize
data with your handheld. See
“Conducting Bluetooth HotSync operations”
for details.
■
Using a collaborative application:
Connect to a Palm OS handheld using
applications such as BlueBoard and BlueChat included on the Software
Essentials CD-ROM. See the BlueBoard 2.0 Handbook and the BlueChat 2.0
Handbook on the Software Essentials CD-ROM to learn more about these
applications. Other third-party applications may be available. Visit
for information about downloading third-party applications,
and refer to the documentation that comes with these applications for details on
using them.
Connection Preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings used to
connect your handheld to other devices. The screen displays a list of available
configurations that are ready to be further defined; the list varies depending on the
kind of software you’ve added to your handheld.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this modem, you
need only to specify the phone setup (and network connection, if required) to
complete the configuration.
