2. Before starting, make sure the the RN-42 Bluetooth module is in its discoverable
mode -- its green light must be blinking slowly (once per second.)

If this LED is solid green, the module is already connected to a host. You must break
the connection (usually by “removing” the device from the host’s list of Bluetooth
devices) if you want to pair with a new host.

If it is blinking rapidly, the module is in command mode. Try rebooting the xPRESS
motherboard to reset the Bluetooth module.
Linux Bluetooth Keyboard Setup
For Linux (Such as Ubuntu 10.04LTS),
1. Plug in your Bluetooth adapter, if it’s not built in to your PC.
2. Install blueman. (Replaces the stock Bluetooth manager.)
sudo apt-get install blueman
3. Log out and log back in again to get Blueman to install its icon into the menu bar.
4. Look for the Bluetooth icon at the upper-right of your screen:
There will probably be two: one for the stock Bluetooth client, and one for blueman.
Blueman’s icon will say Bluetooth Enabled when you hover over it.
