Bluetooth
The Bluetooth interface (if licensed) lets your 475 Field Communicator connect to the
Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility version 3.0 or higher to transfer device
descriptions, system software, configurations, Event Captures, application licenses,
and ScratchPad (.txt) files. Check your AMS Device Manager documentation to see if
Bluetooth is supported. The 475 Field Communicator does not communicate with
HART or fieldbus devices using Bluetooth.
To use Bluetooth, you need the following:
• 475 Field Communicator with a Bluetooth license. To see if your 475 is licensed for
Bluetooth, double-tap Settings from the Field Communicator Main Menu. Then
double-tap License. A checkmark next to Bluetooth indicates it is licensed.
• An approved Bluetooth adapter attached to your PC that uses the Windows
Bluetooth software and drivers. See the Easy Upgrade Utility Help and readme file
for more information. You can access the readme file from
www.fieldcommunicator.com, the Resource CD, or the Field Communicator Easy
Upgrade Utility menu in the Windows Start menu (if the Easy Upgrade Utility has
been installed.)
If Bluetooth is not set as the default, you need to enable it on the Listen For PC
window. To enable Bluetooth communication:
1. Double-tap Listen For PC from the Field Communicator Main Menu.
2. Tap Change Connection Type.
3. Tap Bluetooth and then tap OK. You can tap Save as Default to always use

is 30 feet (10 meters). See the Help in the Easy Upgrade Utility or AMS Device
Manager for more information about connecting using Bluetooth.
IrDA
The 475 Field Communicator can communicate with the Easy Upgrade Utility and
AMS Device Manager using infrared (IrDA) technology. IrDA is a PC interface
supported for the transfer of device descriptions, software updates, configurations,
Event Captures, application licenses, and ScratchPad files. See Figure 2-3 on
page 2-6 for the location of the IrDA interface on the 475 Field Communicator. All 475
Field Communicators can use IrDA.
IrDA communication can either be built into the PC, such as a laptop, or provided
through an adapter such as a USB to IrDA adapter. Refer to your IrDA manual for
installation and operating instructions. The maximum recommended distance between
the IrDA and PC is 18 inches.
If you previously set Bluetooth as the default connection type, you need to enable
IrDA.
To enable IrDA communication:
1. Double-tap Listen For PC from the Field Communicator Main Menu.
2. Tap Change Connection Type.
3. Tap IrDA and then tap OK.You can tap Save as Default to always use IrDA as the
connection type.
