Using Bluetooth 6 - 3
Bluetooth Configuration
By default, the MC75A is configured to using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. Refer to the MC75A Mobile Computer
Integrator Guide, Appendix B, for information on switching to the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.
Table 6-1 list the services supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.
Table 6-2 list the COM ports available for the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.
Bluetooth Power States
Cold Boot
With StoneStreet One Bluetooth Stack
Performing a cold boot on the MC75A turns off Bluetooth after initialization (which takes a few moments). It is
normal to see the Bluetooth icon appear and disappear (when using the Classic Home screen), as well as a wait
cursor, when initialization proceeds in all modes.

Resume
When the MC75A resumes, Bluetooth turns on if it was on prior to suspend.
Using Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
The following sections provide information on using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the MC75A. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange
information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
Enabling Bluetooth
To enable Bluetooth:
NOTE If there is an active Bluetooth connection between the MC75A and another Bluetooth device, the MC75A will
not timeout. However, if the user presses the Power button on the MC75A, the MC75A will suspend (except
when on a call) and upon receiving data from a remote Bluetooth device, the MC75A will wake from suspend
mode. For example, headset redial or Bluetooth scanner sending data to the MC75A.
NOTE If there is an active Bluetooth connection between the MC75A and another Bluetooth device and there is no
data activity, the MC75A will timeout. However, if the user presses the Power button on the MC75A, the
MC75A will suspend (except when on a call) and upon receiving data from a remote Bluetooth device, the
MC75A will wake from suspend mode. For example, headset redial or Bluetooth scanner sending data to the
MC75A.
NOTE To achieve the best battery life turn off radios not in use.
