Need Help pairing Toshiba PDA & Siemens Cell phone
      #9684 - 03/31/04 03:32 PM

I have a Toshiba PDA and a Siemens cell phone they both have bluetooth as far as I understand. I am not sure how to begin to hook these two up together so I can get on the internet wtih my PDA when I am not home. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does you Toshiba have built-in Bluetooth? The manual should tell you how to pair it with another device (each brand of device and card works a bit differently, so we can't provide generic instructions.

The phone's manual should also describe pairing. With phones, you generally put it in discoverable mode, and let the PDA discover with it (they they'll both pair).

I am not sure if the bluetooth is built in or not. The Toshiba model I have is the Genio E550G. It came with a Quick Start card but not a manuel. So how do I figure out if it has bluetooth built in?

That's not a common model in the US. . . but as far as I recall, it doesn't have Bluetooth.

I purchased it my local office supply store. Can I purchase a Bluetooth card for it and where would I go to purchase one?

You can purchase a Bluetooth CF card for the Genio. Check our reviews of these cards at http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/tips/bluetooth.htm and you'll see some places where you can buy them (various online retailers, Amazon.com and etc). You can also buy them direct from the manufacturer.
