Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The Socket Bluetooth Connection Kit makes it easy to add Bluetooth
wireless connectivity to a Windows Powered Pocket PC or Windows CE-
based HPC 2000 or Handheld PC Pro. It’s perfect for connecting your
Pocket PC or HPC 2000 wirelessly to your favorite Bluetooth phone.
The Bluetooth Card is the only plug-in card to incorporate all Bluetooth
components within the CompactFlash Type I form factor. With a
CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter, the Bluetooth Card also works in a PC
Card (PCMCIA) slot of a Windows CE-based HPC 2000 or Handheld PC
Pro. You can purchase adapters separately online at:
www.esend.com/socket/product.asp?sku=AC4000%2D978
The Bluetooth Connection Kit includes a
Bluetooth Card and Bluetooth software, including
drivers, the Get Connected! Wizard, and the
Bluetooth Devices manager.
For quickly connecting your mobile computer to a
Bluetooth phone, use the Get Connected! Wizard.
To connect to non-phone devices, use the
advanced features found in the Bluetooth Devices
manager.
The Bluetooth Device Manager runs in the background to deal with local
device discoverability, connectability, bonding and encryption issues and
makes it easy to track and organize previously discovered remote devices.
This User’s Guide briefly shows how to install and use the Bluetooth Card.
This guide shows Pocket PC screens. HPC 2000s and Handheld PC Pros
will have functionally equivalent screens.

components. Should your Bluetooth Card need service, please contact
Socket technical support at: techsupport@socketcom.com.
• Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
• Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by
Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around your Bluetooth Card since it will
reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metallic
surrounding your Bluetooth Card.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car
stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your Bluetooth Card will not affect the
electronic system in your vehicle.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Bluetooth Card antenna before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Bluetooth Card while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
24 | APPENDIX B SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Bluetooth Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation,
it communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone or mobile
computer by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic
fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the
radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt.
The Bluetooth Card unit is designed to be in compliance with the RF
exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1
when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.
1 Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines:
ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and
electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”, International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, April 1998.

general public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz – 300 GHz, Official Journal of the
European Communities, July 12, 1999.

SYMPTOM:
• My mobile computer cannot find any Bluetooth
devices nearby.
POSSIBLE REASONS SOLUTION
You are too far from other
Bluetooth devices.
Move closer to the other Bluetooth
device(s), within a range of 10
meters.
The Bluetooth device(s) nearby are
not turned on.
Turn on the Bluetooth device(s)
you wish to find.
