Hi Tina,
one thing you'll need to keep in mind is this.
every time you do any kind of reset you will need to go and
reactivate the receiver.
1. from the options menu press C for connectivity.
2. press B for Bluetooth.
3. make sure the Bluetooth is set to on.
4. at the search for devices prompt answer no. remember to answer no,
answering yes at this point can confuse the Braillenote.
5. space down to your holux and press enter.
6. space to active synk and press enter.
7. Press A to activate the active sync.
You should be back in the list of bluetooth devices.
If the word active is not there, you will need to press enter again
and remove the paring this time. I've seen people need to remove the
paring two times before the word paird is gone.
Once the word pared is gone press enter on the receiver name, then
enter again on active sync.
You will be asked pare with and activate? Answer yes.
For the authentication code just press enter.
To answer your question about going into options connectivity every
time, I never do I always leave my bluetooth on.
So here are the steps I do.
1. turn on the receiver.
2. turn on the BrailleNote.
3. wait 15 to 20 seconds.
4. press n for navigation.
providing the system is pared and active you should be connected to
the receiver.
Hope this helps.
xChris
