Brian c Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Do they both have infrared? If so it should be fairly easy. If you don't know......ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Bluetooth is better as it doesn't restrict you to not moving anywhere at all whilst using it. First thing you need to do is pair the devices. Go into the connectivity menu on the phone and select something along the lines of paired devices\options\new or add device or whatever it comes under. Go into the bluetooth manager on the iPAQ and select new from the bottom lefthand corner. After that it's all screen prompts, make sure you type the same pin into each device when it asks for it. Shout up if there are any problems along the way, I'd tell you exactly how to do it if I still had an iPAQ, but some drugged up chav relieved me of it recemtly.

Brian c Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I don't know the programming of the ipaq, but I think I had to install a generic IrDA modem. Once installed, I could just select it and set it up like I would on a windows pc. If you don't know......ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Security Technician Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 got them sort of paired but when i enter bluetooth code it kicks it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 What kicks it out? Are you using a 4 digit numerical code? Thinking about, I seem to remeber my Dads PDA, whicg I think was a 2210, took a few attempts to get it paired. It might be worth updating the firmware in the iPAQ if there are still problems.

Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hmm, bit of trial and error then I think. I can't remember exactly what I did to get it to pair my phone with the 2210. Without actually having it in front of me I'm struggling somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian c Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I haven't done it with bluetooth but it's pretty straightforward with IrDA If you don't know......ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
