10 Bluetooth wireless technology Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect compatible devices without cables. A Bluetooth connection does not require that the computer and the Digital pen be in line of sight, but both devices should be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. Connections may be subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices. IMPORTANT: The USB Bluetooth Dongle is sensitive to static electricity. The highly sensitive electrical adapter components can be damaged by static. To protect the peripheral, always touch the metal case of the computer before handling the USB Bluetooth Dongle. This ensures that you discharge any static electricity. You should avoid any contact with the metal connector when handling the USB Bluetooth Dongle. Very dry weather or simply walking across the floor can cause a static charge to build up on your body. The USB Bluetooth Dongle is compatible with any PC running Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32bit/64bit). When you plug it in for the first time, you need to install drivers from the CD. For the best performance, install the USB dongle in a free USB port on the front of your PC. Before software installation, insert Bluetooth USB Dongle into the USB port. ILS Communications Inc. 10

32 Battery information Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Never use any charger that is damaged. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 C and 25 C (59 F and 77 F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. ILS Communications Inc. 32
