Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The Socket Bluetooth Connection Kit makes it easy to add Bluetooth
wireless connectivity to a Windows Powered Pocket PC (including Pocket
PC 2002s) or a Windows CE-based HPC 2000 or Handheld PC Pro. It’s
perfect for connecting any of these mobile computers wirelessly to your
favorite Bluetooth phone or printer.
The Bluetooth Card is the only plug-in card to
incorporate all Bluetooth components within the
CompactFlash Type I form factor. With a
CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter, the Bluetooth Card
also works in a PC Card (PCMCIA) slot.
You can purchase adapters separately online at:

The Bluetooth Connection Kit includes a Bluetooth Card and Bluetooth
software, including drivers, the Get Connected! Wizard, the Bluetooth
Devices manager, and the Socket Dialer.
For quickly connecting your mobile computer to a Bluetooth phone, use the
Get Connected! Wizard. To connect to a non-phone device, use the
advanced features found in the Bluetooth Devices manager. After
connecting to a Bluetooth phone, you can use the Socket Dialer to directly
dial a number from your Contacts list.
This User’s Guide explains how to install and use the Bluetooth Card.
This guide primarily shows Pocket PC screens. Except where otherwise
noted, Pocket PC 2002s, HPC 2000s and Handheld PC Pros will have
functionally equivalent screens.

Chapter 2 Basic Setup
This chapter covers the minimum steps you must complete to install and
operate the Bluetooth Card. The four steps detailed in this chapter include
installing software, inserting the card, getting connected, and setting up dial-
up networking.
STEP 1: Install the Software
Follow these steps BEFORE inserting the Bluetooth Card:
1. Make an active partnership between the mobile computer and a host PC.
An active partnership exists if data can be moved between the mobile
computer and the host PC via a serial/USB/Ethernet cable or cradle.
2. Insert the Socket Bluetooth Card Installation CD into the host PC.
3. Run the SETUP.HTM or SETUP.EXE file on the CD-ROM, depending
on what web browser your host PC uses by default.
IF YOUR DEFAULT WEB BROWSER IS
INTERNET EXPLORER, run the SETUP.HTM file:
(a) Click Start | Run on the host PC. Type X:\SETUP.HTM
(Replace X with your CD drive letter.)
(b) In File Download, select the option that lets you run (or open) the file.
IMPORTANT! YOU MUST RUN THE FILE! DO NOT SAVE IT!
File Download screen from Internet Explorer 5.5
(c) A Security Warning screen will appear. Click Yes.

8 | CHAPTER 2: BASIC SETUP
IF YOUR DEFAULT WEB BROWSER IS
NETSCAPE, DO NOT run the SETUP.HTM file on
Netscape. Instead, choose either of two options:
OPTION ONE: Use Internet Explorer to run the SETUP.HTM file.
(a) In the Internet Explorer screen, click File | Open.
(b) In the Open screen, type X:\SETUP.HTM
(Replace X with your CD drive letter.)
Open screen from Internet Explorer 5.5
(c) Proceed with the instructions described on the previous page for
Internet Explorer.
OPTION TWO: Run the SETUP.EXE file.
Click on My Computer or use Windows Explorer to manually browse the
CD to the WinCE (or other appropriate directory) and manually launch
the SETUP.EXE file found there.
Important! Be sure to choose the SETUP.EXE file, NOT the
SETUP.HTM file. The two file types have different icons:

10 | CHAPTER 2: BASIC SETUP
STEP 2: Insert the Card
Important!
Do NOT insert the card upside down or shove the card in too hard.
Damage may occur!

first insert the Bluetooth Card into a CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter
(available separately). Make sure the blue label is on top.
When properly inserted, the card unit will be fully contained within the slot.
After the mobile computer recognizes the card, the following will occur:
• You will get a message warning against using Bluetooth on airplanes.
Tap OK.
• The Bluetooth icon will appear in the task tray (visible in the Today
screen for Pocket PCs and Pocket PC 2002s).
Insert the card

I
/O slot…
…or plug the card into
an adapter for use in a
PC Card slot.
