3.0 RELEASE NOTES
This README.TXT file applies to the Bluetooth Connection Kit
Installation CD 120F and Drakar Bluetooth Stack Version
1.4.3.31.
3.1 A new version of Socket's Dialer - version 1.4 is needed
to operate with version 120 D or higher. 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).
Option 1: To Uninstall Directly on your Pocket PC using the
Remove Program
a) Please close the Bluetooth Card software and remove the
card. Failure to do this will prevent completion of the
uninstall process.
b) Tap on the START menu
c) Tap on SETTINGS
d) Tap on the SYSTEM Tab or CONTROL PANEL
e) Double or single tap on the REMOVE PROGRAMS icon
f) Tap on (Select) the line that says "Socket Bluetooth
Drivers for WinCE"
g) Double or single Tap on REMOVE
h) Tap on YES to confirm removal of the program
Option 2: To Uninstall from your Host PC
If your Windows CE device is currently connected to your
desktop machine. Follow these steps on your host PC:

card. Failure to do this will prevent completion of the

software on your Windows CE device by simply going back into
Microsoft ActiveSync, TOOLS, ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS window, then
re-checking the "Socket Bluetooth Drivers for WinCE" item, then
clicking OK. This is possible because a copy of the Bluetooth
Card Software remains on your Host PC until you take the steps
necessary to remove it.
Option 3: To completely uninstall the Bluetooth Card software
from both your mobile device and your Host PC
a) Please close the Bluetooth Card software and remove the
card. Failure to do this will prevent completion of the
uninstall process.

re-install the program from Installation CD the software was
supplied on.
