1INTRODUCTIONOverview The 3Com Bluetooth Device is based on the Bluetooth wireless standard, which allows you to get reliable, cable-free connectivity to all personal mobile devices such as laptop and desktop computers, Palm computers, cellular phones, and other devices, that use the Bluetooth standard.Wireless technology opens many new possiblities for personal mobile devices. Wireless e-mail, LAN/WAN internet access, faxes, file transfers, and Palm HotSyncs are just a few examples of what can be done using this new cable-free standard.The 3Com Bluetooth Device is configured using 3Com Bluetooth Connection Manager (see 3Com Bluetooth Connection Manager). Connection Manager is used for configuring the 3Com Bluetooth Device and viewing other Bluetooth devices. It must be running to use the 3Com Bluetooth Device. Connection Manager is installed automatically (see Installing Your 3Com Bluetooth Device) and is loaded at Windows startup. It remains minimized as a system tray icon until you double-click the icon. Once you open Connection Manager you can configure your 3Com Bluetooth Device and connect to other Bluetooth devices.Bluetooth Device Installation CD The following contents are provided on the 3Com Bluetooth Device Installation CD:nWindows 95, 98 and 2000 setup program and driversnWindows NT 4.0 setup program and driversnWindows Millenium Edition (Windows Me) setup program and driversn3Com Bluetooth Connection Manager nREADME.TXT file with updated information about your 3Com Bluetooth DevicenThis 3Com Bluetooth Device User Guide nOther supporting filesBluetooth Device FeaturesBluetooth Compliant Your 3Com Bluetooth Device is compliant with the latest wireless technology standards:nBluetooth 1.0b Specification nPC Specification version 1.1 nPC Common Class Specification version 1.0 nDesigned to meet worldwide regulatory approvals
