Pairing to a PDA or PC
Connection requirements:
• Any RD8100 locator.
• A compatible Bluetooth enabled PDA or Bluetooth enabled PC or Laptop.
NOTE: The procedure below describes the pairing process between a RD8100
locator and a PDA. Pairing to a PC follows the same steps for the RD8100 locator
and similar steps for your PC or laptop. Consult your PC or laptop Bluetooth pairing
instructions to pair with the RD8100 locator.
Pair the RD8100 locator to your PDA using your PDA's Bluetooth software.
NOTE: The procedure for pairing your PDA may differ depending on the PDA make
and model. The following procedure should apply to most PDAs.
On the locator:
1. Press the key to enter the menu.
2. Scroll to the BT menu using the or
3. Press the key to enter the BT menu.
4. Scroll up or down to the PAIR menu.
5. Press the key to enter the PAIR menu.
6. Scroll up or down to the BT-PC option.
7. Press the key and the locator will attempt to pair with your PDA.
On your PDA:
8. From the PDA's Start menu, select Settings then select the Connections Tab
followed by the Bluetooth icon.
9. Ensure the Bluetooth radio is switched on and make the PDA visible to other devices.
10. Select the Devices tab and scan for new partnerships.
11. Create a partnership with the RD8100_XXXX device.
12. If asked for a passkey, enter 1234.
13. Refer to the SurveyCert manual for advanced settings if required by your PDA.

Bluetooth error codes
If an error occurs when attempting to perform any Bluetooth command using the locator
to the transmitter or the locator to a PC or PDA, the LCD will display a code to help you
resolve the problem on the locator.
The codes are as follows:
BT C OD E D E S C R I PT I ON
BT001 Bluetooth not configured for this unit
BT002 Internal Bluetooth error
BT003 Locator not paired with transmitter
BT004 Locator not paired with PC/PDA
BT005 Paired but connection attempt failed. Power cycling may be required
BT006 Corrupt response received from transmitter
BT007 Indeterminate response received from transmitter
BT008 No response received from transmitter
TX?? Transmitter unable to change to the requested frequency
Taking Survey Measurements
RD8100 locator models are capable of recording measurements at up to 1000 survey
points, and optionally sending them to an external device using Bluetooth.
If the locator is a GPS model or if paired to a PDA with GPS that is running a compatible
application such as SurveyCERT the locator will append positional information alongside
time and date to the data, providing spatial context.
NOTE: The internal GPS module needs to be switched on and connected to the
GPS satellite system.
Saving measurements
To save survey measurements, press the
To achieve accurate results the locator must be kept as still as possible during the saving
process.
The locator will always save measurements to internal memory. If Bluetooth is switched
on, paired to a device and BT-PC is enabled, the locator will also attempt to send
the saved measurement to a paired PDA running SurveyCERT or to a PC running a
compatible application.
Erasing measurements
The RD8100 locator allows you to delete all measurements. Erasing the log will wipe the
RD8100 memory and is usually recommended when you begin a new survey.
