Software
The following section describes how to install the Bluetooth software onto
your PAC Mate.
Important: Do not insert your Bluetooth CF card into the PAC
Mate at this time.

connection between your PAC Mate and your computer.
- From your computer, insert the CD included with the AmbiCom Bluetooth card
into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Press and hold the SHIFT key for about 30 seconds to bypass the CD autorun function.
- From the Start menu, select the Run command and type d:\BTCE\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and then press ENTER. The welcome screen appears. Choose Next.

that the operating system has detected a new modem. Press TAB to move
to the Dismiss button and select it.
