Warning: It is not recommended that Bluetooth communication be

used while logging GPS data to use for post processing. This scenario
requires constant and reliable communications between the data

collector and the receiver, which can only occur when using a
communication cable.

Bluetooth Setup in Windows

This section describes how to enable Bluetooth in Windows and create

a partnership with the device the data collector will communicate

with.

Bluetooth can only be used when the data collector and peripheral

hardware have Bluetooth built in and the hardware is explicitly

supported by Survey Pro.

Activate Bluetooth in Windows

Bluetooth must be enabled on the data collector before it can be used.
1. Exit Survey Pro if it is running to return to the Windows

operating system.

2. From Windows, tap

> Settings > Connections >

Bluetooth

> Mode and check the Turn on Bluetooth

checkbox. (It is not necessary to check the Make this
device discoverable…

checkbox unless you want other

devices to be able to detect your data collector for
non-data collecting functions.)

Discover and Bond with New Bluetooth Devices

Before you can use any Bluetooth peripheral with Survey

Pro for the first time, the device must be paired with the
data collector.
1. Exit Survey Pro if it is running to return to the

Windows operating system.

2. Power on your peripheral hardware and be sure

Bluetooth is activated and discoverable on that

device. Also be sure you have the Bluetooth passkey available if
applicable.
