Introduction
Bluetooth is a popular PAN (Personal Area Network) technology used for short-range wireless
communication. Devices with Class 1 Bluetooth capabilities, such as the Janam HT1, can send and/or
receive information over distances of up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Unlike older infrared technology, Bluetooth does not rely upon uninterrupted line-of-sight between
devices that need to exchange information. As a result, you can send information to or receive
information from another Bluetooth-capable device even if the two devices are located in different
rooms, as long as they are within range.
Bluetooth can be used to:
―
Enjoy the convenience and productivity of a wireless headset.
―
Send or receive information such as files, appointments, tasks and contact cards between
Bluetooth-capable devices.
―
Print from the handheld device to Bluetooth-enabled printers.
―
Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or computer using Bluetooth,
you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.
There are several ways to set up your computer for wireless access and the following section details
the general instructions needed to set up Bluetooth on your Janam HT1 rugged tablet. Please note
that complex or custom installations may require additional expertise from Janam’s technical support
team and/or the manufacturer of the device to be paired.
Bluetooth Partnerships:
A Bluetooth partnership (often referred to as a pairing) is, as it relates to this chapter, a relationship
created between the HT1 and another Bluetooth-capable device to securely exchange information or
provide a Bluetooth function. Creating a partnership involves (A) one Bluetooth device being
instructed to discover other Bluetooth devices that have been authorized to be visible and within its
range, and (B) entering the same Bluetooth Passcode on both devices. Once a partnership is created,
the then partnered (or paired) devices need only have Bluetooth turned on and be within range to
function. Already partnered Bluetooth devices do not need to be made visible.
Once partnered, the devices can exchange information without re-entering the Passcode.
