Bluetooth Client Setup


This is the first page of the Bluetooth Client setup and connection instructions. If you haven't installed the Vectir Java application on your mobile phone yet, please view the Mobile Client Install topic. You will also need to have followed the Bluetooth Server Setup topic before continuing.

1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone

This first step is to make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Please refer to the documentation that came with your phone to find the appropriate menu option for enabling Bluetooth.

Note: Some phones will give you the option of enabling Bluetooth when Vectir attempts to connect

2. Make sure your phone is paired with your PC

Your phone will need to be Bluetooth paired with your PC before the Vectir client can communicate with the server. If you have already been transferring files between your phone and your PC, it will already be paired. If your phone is not paired with your PC, right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, then find the appropriate menu option for pairing or adding a new device.

3. Make sure your PC's Bluetooth is set to discoverable

Your PC's Bluetooth will need to be set to discoverable before the client can locate the Vectir server. Please refer to the appropriate Bluetooth stack below for instructions on how to turn discovery on.

Note: After the Vectir client has connected to the server, you may turn Bluetooth discovery off again.

4. Launch the Vectir Java application

Locate and launch the Vectir Java application on your phone. A splash screen will be displayed followed by the following menu:
