Preparing the Charger and the Nordic ID RF651

Insert batteries to the RF651 as described earlier in this manual. Information on how to charge the rechargeable batteries 
can be found in the chapter. When the batteries are in place the RF651 is ready for use and tries to connect to the 
Bluetooth server and signals with a beeping sound. 

Software Installation Procedure

1. Insert the RF651 installation CD into your CD-Rom drive

• Setup Launcher starts automatically.
• If the SetupLauncher doesn’t start, launch the SetupLaunch.exe manually from the cd.

2. Install the Bluetooth Software (BTW)

It’s  possible  to  use  NordicID  PortRouter  software  and  RF651  with  the  other  distribution  of  WIDCOMM  Bluetooth 
software and other BT dongle presuming that the version of the software is 4.0.1.700 or later.
If you have WIDCOMM Bluetooth software installed in your system and you want to keep it, you shall use your existing 
Bluetooth USB adapter as well. In that case, skip this installation phase and go on to the “Install PortRouter”.

To  start  installation  pressing  the  “Install  WIDCOMM  Bluetooth  software  4.0.1.xxxx”  button  the  installation  program 
informs  if  there  is  already  Bluetooth  communication  software  installed.  In  case,  there  is  Microsoft’s  Bluetooth 
communication software installed, this installation removes it automatically. However, if there is other vendor’s Bluetooth 
communication  software  installed  including  WIDCOMM’s  one  not  shipped  in  the  RF651  package,  it  is  STRONGLY 
RECOMMENDED that it will be uninstalled before you install WIDCOMM Bluetooth software from the CD delivered in 
the RF651 package.

If you are installing with a clean sheet (including exception of Microsoft’s Bluetooth software installed):

•  Press  the  “Install  WIDCOMM  Bluetooth  software  4.0.1.xxxx”  button  and  follow  the  instructions  for  the  Bluetooth 

software (BTW) installation.       

• Insert the Bluetooth dongle when the following window appears:

After plugging in the Bluetooth dongle, this window disappears automatically. Note that it may take several seconds 
before installation continues. If installation does not continue within two minutes, please remove the Bluetooth dongle 
and plug it into another USB connector. 

As  the  “Bluetooth  device  not  found”  message  box  disappears,  the  “RF651  Setup  Launcher”  will  be  the  top  most 
window. It locks the situation for a little while until it is possible to get the actual installation window active and top 
most again by clicking its title bar.

• After the installation reboot the computer and restart the SetupLauncher.exe from the cd. 

If you want to remove your current Bluetooth stack:

• Choose “Add or Remove Programs” from the Windows Start menu, under “Settings”, “Control Panel”

After having uninstalled your current Bluetooth software go on as though this would be a clean sheet installation.

 
3. Install PortRouter

• Press “Install Nordic ID PortRouter version x.x.x “ -button and follow the instructions of the PortRouter installation 

program.

NOTE: After installation, the Bluetooth PIN code is set to “1234” in order to use it with the RF651.
