Procedure 1 Transmitting-Receiving Check
Make sure the wireless switch on the left side of the computer is turned ON. If it is not, slide
the switch toward the back of the computer to turn it on.
Check 1 Execute test program IMCSPC73.EXE to check the BD_ADDR of the Bluetooth.
Perform the test following the instructions described in Chapter 3, Bluetooth Test
Program (IMCSPC73.EXE).
If the computer passes the test, the function is correctly working. If the computer
does not pass the test, the Bluetooth board may be disconnected or damaged.
Make sure the connector on the Bluetooth board is firmly connected to PJ3002 on
the system board. Moreover, perform the test program IMCSPC73.EXE again.
If the computer still does not pass the test, go to check 2.
Check 2 Execute test program IMCSPC53.EXE to check the transmitting-receiving
function of the Bluetooth. You will need a second computer that can communicate
by the Bluetooth. Perform the test following the instructions described in Chapter 3,
Bluetooth Test Program (IMCSPC53.EXE).
If the computer passes the test, the function is correctly working.
If the computer does not pass the test, go to check 3.
Check 3 The Bluetooth board may be defective or damaged. Replace it with a new one.
Then perform the test program again.
If the computer still does not pass the test, go to Procedure 2.
