[gps-talkusers] Problems with paring with Holux

Dear GPS listserv,

I have notice while using the Holux reciever that for some odd reason it 
will lose the bluetooth connection between the BrailleNote and the reciever, 
this will occur when I am in the gps program, it isn't because it is  out of 
the bluetooth range, I have notice this occuring while either when I am 
walking, so the reciever is fastened in the shoulder strap and the 
BrailleNote is about hip levvel. I am certtain that it isn't a matter of the 
bluetooth being out  of range.

I have also notice the same incident occuring when I am traveling in a 
vehicle. When I am traveling in a vehicle, I will place the reciever on the 
dash and have the BrailleNote on my lap in the front passenger seat. I would 
say that in both incidents at all times the reciever is no more than 3 feet 
away from the brailleNote, so aI am certain that it isn't a matter of the 
bluetooth being out of range, because if it was a matter of the bluetooth 
being out of range, then I would of noticed the same thing occuring  with 
the BlueLogger , which I have never seen happened.

I have also notice that when I am switching both the BrailleNote and the 
Holux off for aperiod of time, then turning it back on when I need to use 
it, that sometimes the two devices will pair and activesync will be active, 
but when I go into the GPS Program it says "bluetooth reciever not 
detected." Then after a while with switching the Holux off and on and 
switching bluetooth off and on, it will suddenly come back and will have a 
fix.  I have notice that this can take  as long as 30 seconds to 5 minutes, 
which I find pretty excessive.

I will list the steps that I go through when turning off the BrailleNote and 
the Holux, I have tried turning them off two different ways to see if that 
would make a difference, which I have not found to be true.
Technique 1.
1. While in the GPS Program, hit space bar with dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, to 
get to the main menu.
2. hit the spacebar with the letter o to get to options menu
3. hit the letter c for connectivity
4. hit the letter b for bluetooth.
5. when it ask is bluetooth on, I will press the letter n for no.
6. Then I will turn off the Holux
8. Then I will return back to the main menu, and turn off the BrailleNote

Technique 2.
1. While in the GPS Program, I will turn off the recievver, it will say 
"bluetooth reciever not detected."
2. I will then return to the main menu
3. I will go to options, connectivity, bluetooth, I will see if bluetooth is 
off, if it isn't I will turn it off.
4. Then I will return back  to the main menu and turn off the BrailleNote.

I will list the steps below that I use when turning on the two devices, 
again I tried two different ways to see if that would make a difference, it 
turns out that it doesn't.
Technique 1.
1. Turn on the Holux
2. Turn on the BrailleNote
3. Go into options, connectivity, bluetooth, turn it on, check to see if the 
Holux is paired and active.
4. I will then go into the GPS program

Technique 2.
1. Turn the BrailleNote on, then go into options, connectivity, bluetooth, 
turn on bluetooth, then make sure it is paired and active.
2. turn on the Holux
3. Open the GPS Program.

I am not sure if the issue lies in the steps that I am going through, which 
I don't think it does; I don't think that it is the steps, because these are 
the same steps that I went through using the BlueLogger and it worked just 
fine. I just thought that I would list the steps just in case there is one 
that I should use over the other.

So, I am wondering if any of you have also experience the bluetooth reciever 
not detected message showing up whihle you are in the GPS program, and not 
being able to make the bluetooth connection work between the BrailleNote 
after you have checked to see that they were indeed paired and active. If 
you have found a special technique that you have found to work flawlessly, 
do share. If none of you have experience this same issue, then it might be a 
matter of me having a defected reciever, which I will phone my dealer about.

Thank you for taking your time in reading this post, and I am looking 
forward to what you are able to suggest.

Kevin
