2. What is Bluetooth® ? • Bluetooth® technology is technology that allows you to share voice, data, music, photos, videos and other information wirelessly between paired devices. • Mobile phones, FM radio and television all use radio waves to send information wirelessly. Bluetooth®technology exchanges data over shorter distances using radio transmissions. • When two Bluetooth® enabled devices connect to each other, this is called pairing.

3. What has Bluetooth®? • What has Bluetooth® connection? • The Ambulance • The Laptop Computer • The Lifepak 15 Monitor • You will use Bluetooth® to connect and transmit your data from the Lifepak 15 monitor to the Zoll Program using the ambulance’s connection.

4. How Do They Connect To Each Other? • You MUST secure the connectivity to the truck and to the laptop computer using your monitor at the beginning of each shift. • Each device will now be able to communicate once they are in range and Bluetooth® technology is on. • Devices must be connected (and paired) in order to communicate. • Once connected, the monitor will re-connect to the truck automatically once it is within range. This range is a good distance however you might have instances where you need to move closer to the ambulance. • Once a device has been found it, will continue to display the device in the device options list.

Select Data you wish to transmit to the laptop. Verify the Location is the Laptop you are holding. • It will transmit quickly to 99% then delay until transmitted. This is normal and to be expected as the data makes its way through thebluetooth connection to the computer.

15. How to Transmit to CodeSTAT • Verify Connectivity From Monitor to Ambulance. You may need to move closer to the ambulance for connection. • Verify Patient information is on the Data you wish to send.

16. Get an Error Message? • Before you call, Try these alternatives: • The cliché but proven “Power Down and Restart” Method • Reconnecting Bluetooth® to devices • Verify you are close in Range to the Ambulance • Verify you are not in the “Dead Zone” areas that are sporadic through Orange County. (Where you have no radio or cell phone signal either). • Verify the Wireless switch on the side of the Laptops is not switched to off. Doing this will shut off capabilities. • Verify the devices you are connected to are the correct devices. (Did off going shift get a new computer and forget to mention?; Did you switch trucks?; etc. )

17. Time To Make A Phone Call • Call your Supervisor first if you are having Bluetooth® Connectivity issues. They have the cable cords for you to use until the problem is fixed or a solution is found. • The Supervisors will call the necessary parties (Scott, Billy, Kevin, IT) if needed. • Did something very-very-weird, bad, confusing, it-was-just-working-a-minute-ago happen? Refer to the Error Message Alternatives and then call your supervisor.
