This chapter describes the Bluetooth® profiles
recognized by the Microsoft drivers installed on your
Field PC. Drivers determine which devices your Field
PC can communicate with. If you are using an external
Bluetooth CF or SDIO card and you installed a new
driver specific to this card (recommended), consult the
documentation that came with the driver for instructions
about its profiles.
Note: Bluetooth cards are not recognized by modules
with integrated Bluetooth. For general instructions about
using an integrated Bluetooth module, see Chapter 8.
This chapter is organized by Bluetooth profile, each of
which is briefly described below. Instructions for using
each profile to create Bluetooth partnerships follow.
Serial Port Profile (SPP). Similar to a serial cable, this
profile acts as a liaison between two devices, such as
the Field PC and a GPS receiver, using virtual ports.
(These ports are described in the previous chapter.)
Dial-Up Networking (DUN). Lets you connect to
a computer through a cell phone or a Bluetooth-
enabled modem.
Human Interface Device (HID). Allows you to
communicate between the Field PC and a Bluetooth
keyboard or mouse.
Object Push Profile (OPP). This profile lets you
exchange files like data, audio, business cards,
appointments, and contacts. Similar to the well-
known object exchange profile (OBEX).

card securely in its slot, cushion
it by placing small or medium-
sized foam pieces inside the
top of the cap. Insert enough
foam into the cap so that
when you slide the cap back

so it needs a spacer to keep the card in place.
Before you insert a Type I CF card (1/8 inch or
3mmthick),rstinsertthecardspacerin

If you inserted a camera SD
card, insert large foam pieces
inside the top of the cap to keep
the camera in place. Stack
enough foam in the top of the
cap so that when you slide the
cap into place with little pres-
sure, a ¼ inch (6 mm) gap re-
mains between the cap and the
Field PC. This gap closes when
you secure the
cap in step 8.

Mounting an External Device
Overview
The Field PC features a convenient cable channel that
hides cables attached to an external device you mount
on the Universal, Optical, or Data Acquisition Caps.
External devices might include an external RS-232
sensor (such as a GPS receiver) or a USB device.
This section explains how to insert a cable in the cable
channel and how to mount the external device onto the
extended cap. These instructions assume you have
already installed your extended cap onto the Field PC.
10
1. Turn off the Field PC and
remove the extended cap,
bottom hand strap latch, battery
door, and battery pack. Leave
the serial adapter plate in place.
Carefully remove the four side
screws on the body molding
and slide off the body molding
about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
2. Thread the sensor cable along the cable
channel and out through the body
molding.
3. With the cable in place, slide
the body molding into place
and tighten the four side
screws. Replace the
battery pack, battery door,
and hand strap.
11
5. Make sure the seal adapter plate is properly
installed.
CAUTION: The seal adapter plate must be
installed to seal the Field PC.
If you have not already installed the seal adapter
plate onto your Field PC, see steps 2–4 of the
previous section for instructions.

4. Connect the sensor connec-
tor to the 9-pin serial port or
USB host port.
7. Slide the extended cap onto
the Field PC and push the
sensor cable through the
incision you made so that
the cable exits out of the
top of the cable channel.
Note: The incision does
not affect the seal of the
Field PC.
6. To give the cable an exit through the extended cap,
cut the thin rubber overmolding on the extended cap
along the entire scribe line using a razor blade or
sharp knife.
