This unit is able to determine its current location. Connecting this unit to a Sony
Personal Entertainment Organizer (hereafter referred to as CLIÉ handheld) with
Bluetooth communication capability allows you to indicate your current location on
the “Leplan” map, and to display the distance and route to a destination.
For details about display items and functions of “Leplan,” refer to the “Application
manual.”
About Bluetooth communication
Bluetooth communication is a new wireless technology for the personal network
market. It is the leading standard technology for small scale, close distance
communication at low cost, achieved without the need for complicated cable
connections.
GU-BT1 has the following features.
Bluetooth support enables wireless communication with your CLIÉ handheld within
a range of about 10 m (32.8 ft.). (The actual range will vary depending on factors such
as obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around devices such as a microwave
oven, static electricity, interference, radio wave conditions, reception sensitivity or
antenna performance, operating system or software application, etc.)
Devices that can be used with GU-BT1

Note
Before you perform wireless communication for the first time between this unit and your
CLIÉ handheld, you need to install “Leplan” into your CLIÉ handheld. For details, refer to
the “Application manual.”
When you connect this unit to your CLIÉ handheld for the
first time
When you connect this unit to your CLIÉ handheld for the first time, you need to
bond your CLIÉ handheld. For details, refer to the “Application manual” or “Read
this first” of your CLIÉ handheld.
What is “bonding”?
To enable Bluetooth communication between this unit and your CLIÉ handheld, you
must register your CLIÉ handheld on this unit. This process is referred to as
“bonding,” which is necessary to prevent access from another, unauthorized
Bluetooth compatible CLIÉ handheld. A common Passkey is used to bond your
device to this unit.
What is a Passkey?
A Passkey is a secret code entered by the user to enable 2 Bluetooth compatible
devices to communicate.
Location of the Passkey
SERIAL NO.
0000000
Serial number
The Passkey is the last 4 digits in the serial number on the back of this unit.
Once connection is authorized, you do not need to enter your Passkey again to
connect.
Up to 8 CLIÉ handhelds can be registered. If you register a further CLIÉ handheld,
the oldest previously registered Passkey is erased.
