Introduction
Bluetooth is an open specification for a cutting-edge technology that enables short-range
wireless connections between desktop and laptop computers, personal digital assistants,
cellular phones, printers, scanners, digital cameras and even home appliances — on a
globally available band (2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility. In a nutshell, Bluetooth
unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past. Now you can
connect your PDA or PC to Bluetooth™ enabled mobile phone with this Bluetooth™
adapter.
You can access e-mail & Internet no matter where you are with just a little help from your
Bluetooth™ mobile phone.
Plus, when you are back in the office, you can hook yourself up to your office network as
well as communicate with other Bluetooth™-enabled devices.

3. From within a supported Personal Information Manager, select one or more items and
then, from the PIM's File menu, select Send to Bluetooth.
Whether sent items are accepted by the remote device is determined by how the remote
device's PIM Item Transfer service is configured.
Close a PIM Item Transfer Connection

Choose a business card as needed-each time a remote device requests your business
card you must select a card from your PIM. If you ignore the request the remote device will
receive a timeout notice.
Always send the same business card-when this option is selected a dialog appears that
allows you to set a default business card, which will be sent automatically when requests
are received.
Where to store received business cards. The Received Business Cards options are:
32
Microsoft Outlook
Outlook Express
Lotus Notes
NOTE: The selected Received Business Cards option does not influence the
settings on other PIM-related property pages.
For example, even if the PIM Item Transfer service business card option on this

still accept business cards that the application has specifically requested via its
"Receive" or "Exchange" functions.
Email attachments. The only option is include or do not include attachments with email that
is sent or received on this computer using this service.
3.7. PIM Synchronization setting
Overview
The PIM Synchronization Application is used to synchronize the Personal Information

device.
The supported PIMs are:
• Microsoft Outlook
• Microsoft Outlook Express
• Lotus Notes.
The supported data types are:
• Business cards
• Calendar items
• Email (with or without attachments)
• Notes.
Configure PIM Synchronization
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Synchronization > General
tab provides options to configure:
• The application name- to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new

type on the remote device, synchronization WILL NOT take place for that item.
The data item types which can be synchronized are:
Business cards
Calendar items
Email (with or without attachments-see below)
34
Notes
Possible synchronization options for each of these data item types include:
Do Not Synchronize-this item type will not be synchronized
Synchronize Microsoft Outlook-this item type will be synced with its matching entry in
Microsoft Outlook, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a
matching Outlook entry does not exist, it will be created
Synchronize Outlook-Express-this item type will be synced with its matching entry in
Express, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching
Express entry does not exist, it will be created
Synchronize Lotus Notes-this item type will be synced with its matching entry in Lotus
Notes, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching
Notes entry does not exist, it will be created.
NOTE: All choices are not available for all items. For example, Notes items can only
be synchronized in Microsoft Outlook, therefore Lotus Notes and Outlook Express
do not appear as options in the "Notes" item shortcut menu.
Personal Information Managers that are not installed on this computer do not appear
as options in the shortcut menus.
Email attachments. The only option is include or do not include attachments with email that

right pane of "My Bluetooth Places".
4. In the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places", double-click "Bluetooth Serial Port". A
dialog box appears that contains the communications port number assigned to this
connection by the client. The application that will use this connection must be configured to
send data to this port.
Depending on the security configuration, the dialog box that provides communications port
information may not appear until after Authentication and Authorization have been
accomplished.
The application on the server must be configured to use the correct communications port.
To determine the communications port being used by the service:
