Tips for using Bluetooth with
the Field PC
Follow these tips to make the most of your
Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth before turning off the Field
PC. After suspending and resuming the
Field PC, you may get an error message
in a software application that says GPS

Bluetooth after resuming the Field
PC. When you resume (turn on) the
Field PC while you are running a third-

Bluetooth logo icon appears on the Today

Bluetooth communications with the software
application.

the Field PC. In some applications, you can
