1Introduction to Bluetooth
Wireless Technology
Overview
Bluetooth™ wireless technology allows you to make short-range wireless connections to Bluetooth devices, such as
cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), and desktop and notebook computers. Because Bluetooth wireless
technology uses radio transmission, voice and data are transmitted almost immediately. Bluetooth transmission
ensures both protection from interference and secure data transfers.
You might use Bluetooth wireless technology in these ways:
■Dial up to the Internet on your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone.
■Send a fax from your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone.
■Synchronize your Bluetooth PDA with your notebook.
■Send your business card to anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth device.
■Send or receive files to or from anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook or PDA.
■Chat with anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook.
■Play a one-on-one serial game without a cable.
■Send an e-mail from your training session without being wired to the network.
Bluetooth Wireless PC Card
Wireless Radio Transmission
The Bluetooth wireless PC Card uses a reliable radio frequency to transmit data wirelessly. The onboard radio uses
the following settings:
■Radio transmit power: 0 dBm (1mW)
■Radio sensitivity: –70 dBm
■Frequency range: 2.402–2.480 GHz
Optimized Antenna
The Bluetooth antenna provides powerful performance in all directions.
Software and Firmware Upgrades
Current software and firmware upgrades are available on the 3Com Web site at:
www.support.3com.com

2Installing Your Bluetooth Wireless
PC Card and Connection Manager
Bluetooth Installation CD
The Bluetooth Installation CD contains the following:
■Setup programs and drivers for Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
and Windows 2000
■Bluetooth Connection Manager
■XTNDConnect PC mobile synchronization and management software
■3Com Mobile Connection Manager
■README.TXT file with updated information about your Bluetooth Wireless PC Card
■This Bluetooth Wireless PC Card User Guide
■Adobe Acrobat Reader
Installing the PC Card and Virtual COM Ports
If you are accessing this manual as part of your Bluetooth PC Card installation, skip to step 3 below.
1 With the computer on and Windows 98 SE, Me, or 2000 running, insert the Bluetooth Installation CD
into the CD-ROM drive. The auto-start feature starts the installation. If auto-start is disabled on your
computer, click Start>Run and type d:\setup.exe (where d: is your CD-ROM drive).
2Select Install Bluetooth Hardware.
3 Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot (see the first illustration below). Push it into the slot until
you feel it seat securely. The connector containing the antenna works like a ball-point pen—press it
to extend it, press it again to hide it. When the connector is extended, the blue plastic antenna is
lying down. To use the antenna, raise it to a vertical position (see the second illustration below).
After inserting the PC Card, if auto-start is enabled and nothing happens within five seconds, restart your
computer and log in to Windows. The installation process will begin when the computer restarts.
4 Respond to the prompts as they appear.
If you are prompted for the drivers, enter the following path, where d:is the location of the CD-ROM drive
where the Bluetooth Installation CD is inserted:
Windows 2000: d:\drivers.W2K
Windows 98 SE and Windows Me: d:\drivers.W98
During the installation process, you may receive prompts for the Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE, or Windows
Me installation CD. Insert the CD and indicate the correct path.
5 Restart the computer whenever you are prompted.
Your computer will go through a brief installation process during which it will display several windows
indicating what is currently installing. This takes a few minutes.
2Installing Your Bluetooth Wireless PC Card and Connection Manager
4
6From the Bluetooth Installation CD, select Step 2: Install Bluetooth Software and follow the
prompts. This installs Bluetooth Connection Manager, which is necessary for you to use your
Bluetooth wireless PC Card to communicate with other Bluetooth devices.
During software installation, the business card creation windows appears, giving you the opportunity to create
your business card now or wait until later. We suggest that you create your business card now.
7 Restart your computer whenever you are prompted.
8 To install other software programs located on the Bluetooth Installation CD, such as 3Com Mobile
Connection Manager or XTNDConnect PC mobilization and management software, select Install
Additional Software and follow the prompts.
The connector containing the antenna may be on the opposite side of the card than is displayed below.
