conform to the Serial and Dial-up Networking profiles. When the PWG-500 inter-
faces with the PDA, you can use it to make and receive calls, browse the Inter-
net, chat using MSN, and send SMS messages. It is recommended that the
distance between the PWG-500 and the other Bluetooth device be less then 10
meters away. Make sure that there are no other devices between these two
devices that may interfere with transmission and reception.

paired devices using the Bluetooth manager. For pairing, you have to enter the
pass-key or PIN (Personal Identification Number). The default pass-key is 1. This
can be changed using the WIM configuration-status utility.
Note: If you are pairing a new device with the PWG-500 for the first time, you
have to pair it twice consecutively before trying to establish a connection with
the device.
To connect the PWG-500 to your PDA, do the following:
1. Using Bluetooth Manager from your PDA, scan and locate all Bluetooth
devices in the vicinity. A list of devices is displayed.
2. Select the PWG-500 from the list of devices displayed.
