[gps-talkusers] Re: receiver not detected

Hey Kevin,
I got it to work.  I had   to go to where it said it was activated and press
enter.  I then went back in and activated it again, and it has not given me
any trouble.  I am working two jobs, so I don't have much time to play with
it much.

Gordon,

It looks like you are in the right direction with confirming that the
bluetooth is on. What I would suggest is to see if the device says it is
paired and acctive. In order to do this you would go past the bluetooth on? 
prompt by hitting space, then it will search for devices hit n for no, then
space through the list until you get to your device and it should be paired
and you will then want to hit enter to make sure that activesync is active. 
After you confirmed activesync is active you will then want to return back
to the main menu and give it another try. Things should be good to go from
there. You will only need to reactivate activesync after performing a normal
reset with no keys held down. So try what was outlined above and report back
with the results.

Good luck

Kevin
