Bluetooth (Continued)
Problem
Can I use my older HP
Bluetooth transceiver or
any other vendor's
transceiver?
The Broadcom Bluetooth
Control Suite (BBCS)
does not report the
NiCad rechargeable
batteries charge level
correctly.
A–8
Cause
This depends on
transceiver
compatibility.
There is a memory
issue with NiCad
batteries.

Solution
In Bluetooth mode (in
Windows) with the
Bluetooth drivers installed,
almost any Bluetooth USB
transceiver can be used.
However, not all
transceivers will work
during reboot, first boot,
recovery, and other critical
modes. So for optimal
performance, it is
recommended that you use
the HP transceiver supplied
with this solution.
Due to the memory
capabilities of the NiCad
batteries, BBCS is not able
to know what stage the
NiCad battery is in. BBCS
can correctly show battery
levels for NiMH
rechargeable batteries. It is
recommended that you use
NiMH rechargeable
batteries but if NiCad
batteries are used, it is
recommended that you
NOT recharge as often.
