Communicating Using Bluespace Ne - Sony PCGA-BA1 Series Operating Instructions Manual

Communicating using BlueSpace NE

This section describes the general procedure for using the BlueSpace NE
software installed on your computer to communicate with another
Bluetooth technology enabled device.
To communicate with other Bluetooth technology enabled devices using
BlueSpace NE, the Bluetooth device driver and BlueSpace NE software on
the supplied CD-ROM must first be installed on the computer. The
installation procedure is described in the separate "Read This First"
document.
Notes
• Some Bluetooth technology enabled equipment may not function with the Bluetooth
USB adapter, depending on the type of equipment, software version, and other factors.
Before purchasing a Bluetooth technology enabled device, please check its operating
environment requirements.
For information on Bluetooth technology enabled devices, refer to "Getting Help"
(page 31).
• You may not be able to establish a connection with a computer running a version of
BlueSpace earlier than 2.1.1. To rectify this, upgrade BlueSpace to the most recent
version.
The models below also have the following restrictions.
To be able to connect using BlueSpace NE with PCG-SR31K and PCG-C1VFK, you
must upgrade the operating system to Windows XP, and then update the BlueSpace and
the Bluetooth drivers.
For details about version updates, refer to "Getting Help" (page 31).
• BlueSpace NE does not support IP connections or chat functions. It is therefore not
possible to use these with devices running earlier versions of BlueSpace.
• You may find that some Bluetooth technology enabled devices operate differently than
described in the following procedures. Refer to the manual provided with the Bluetooth
device or Sony Bluetooth Product Information
