Bluetooth Limitations

Bluetooth can be thought of as a short-range radio link. As with any
radio link of this type, communications can be interrupted by a
number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

The operating range between the devices is exceeded. (The
Bluetooth range is limited to approximately 10 meters.)

Another powerful radio signal is broadcast near an active
Bluetooth device.

An object, such as your body, physically blocks the radio
signal.

If the Bluetooth signal is lost, move the data collector closer to the
total station or try to eliminate the source of interference. The
connection will then usually be reestablished automatically.

Note: The operating system resets the Bluetooth connection after the
data collector is powered on. If the data collector is powered off while
using Bluetooth, you should wait at least 10 seconds after powering it
back on before using any function where Bluetooth communication
will occur. This is to allow enough time for the Bluetooth connection
to reset.
