The features of the Dialer have not changed but the new version is needed in order for the Dialer to run. 3.2 Socket recommends resetting your mobile device immediately prior to performing an installation/upgrade or uninstallation of the Bluetooth stack. This will ensure that none of the Bluetooth programs or modules will be in memory during the process. 3.3 To preserve any information about Bluetooth devices that you've already discovered and bonded with, do not perform an uninstall of the software prior to upgrading. 3.4 Supplying an incorrect PIN number or neglecting to enter a PIN number when bonding with a device can render the Bluetooth software inoperable. If this happens, remove the Bluetooth CF card and reinsert. 3.5 When printing via Field Software's PrintPocketCE application to a printer that is not turned on, the software will behave as though the job printed normally. 3.6 The Dialer application is unable to dial your phone if your phone is assigned as more than one favorite device (for example, favorite phone and favorite FAX). 3.7 Connecting to LAN Access Points is not 100% reliable in this release. If you experience repeated failures, you may need to soft reset your PDA to recover. 3.8 You cannot safely send via OBEX multiple contacts with a note field that is larger than 40 lines or if the note contains special characters. 4.0 WINDOWS CE UNINSTALL PROCEDURES Microsoft ActiveSync offers several options for uninstalling applications on your Windows CE device (e.g. Pocket PC, HPC 2000).
