| What
are the steps of installing bluetooth CF card software? |
(1)
First, you have to remove all previously installed billionton bluetooth
software
(2) Reboot system.
(3) Insert Billionton CF Bluetooth card, search and install the
driver required in the Billionton bluetooth software folder
(4) While the Billionton cf bluetooth card is inserted in the PCMCIA
slot, install the Billionton bluetooth software
(5) When the installation is complete, reboot the system with the
CF card inserted in the PCMCIA slot (this is very important), wait
a few seconds and the CF card should start working.
Since CF Bluetooth card is not a plug-n-play device, it is important
to have the CF Bluetooth card inserted when you boot up the system.
If you unplug the CF Bluetooth card at any stage, the bluetooth
support is terminated. You will have to reboot the system with the
card inserted to enable bluetooth support again. |

Do you provide any PocketPC CAB files that can be installed straightly
into the PocketPC device? |
No.
Please use the installation program. But you might be able to extract
