How do I find stuff on
The Wireless Directory?
To find something specific, you can do a Site
Search - click at the top left corner of every page, or by using the
sliding site menu.
...OR..
You can access the site map by clicking
on 'Sitemap', again found at the top
left of any page, or by using the sliding site menu at the edge of the page.
On all product pages, company
names are arranged alphabetically.
Computer Requirements
On this site, The Wireless Directory
presents lots of information, some of which
is given in tables or graphics.
To view these, the following minimal functionality is required of your computer
system and browser:
- 600 x 800 pixels resolution
- 256 colors
- Pages use Javascripts. The Javascripts used are suitable for
all commonly used browsers. However if for some reason the sliding site menu
is not working, the sitemap button found on the top left of every page can
be used to navigate around the site instead.
A few Flash effects are also used in the website template.
The flash player can be downloaded by going the the macromedia
website.
Please not that some of the slide presentations on this site require
higher functionality of your browser and/or your system. These are mentioned in
the respective title page and usually a work-around (download possibility) is
given.
Pdf Format & Adobe Acrobat
The PDF files on this site can be read with the Acrobat Reader version
3.0 or higher. Make sure you have the most recent version from Adobe.
If you are using a PCL printer (e.g. the HP Laserjet series) then you should
install the RA patch.
Some of the files are fairly complex. If
they don't display properly on your screen:
- The reader assumes that standard fonts
such as Arial and Times Roman (or the equivalent) are installed on your
system
- Acrobat plug-ins for both Netscape and
Internet Explorer may not handle the complexity of some of the files (it may
also be the RAM available in your system). In this case right-click the link
and use the option "Save Target/Link As ..."
If the files don't print properly then
try the following:
- Check your printer option to send
graphics as raster rather then vector graphics
- Check your printer option to send
fonts as bitmaps rather than outlines
- Try printing at a lower resolution
(300 dpi rather then 600 dpi)
- Convince your IT department that 2
MByte printer memory for a 600 dpi printer is not enough
Why doesn't a
hyperlink work ?
Answer - it should !
If you find links that don't, please let
us know, using the e-mail entry on the sidebar. Or by clicking
here.
Why no pictures ?
Because the pages download much quicker
without them we minimise the use of pictures..
Many pics of products may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks to the
sites of companies supplying Bluetooth kit.
If you find some good Bluetooth pics on the web, please e-mail us the URL
and we may link to them.
We've tried to keep the site simple so
that folk with not-the-latest browsers can also benefit from the site, but at
the same time making the site user friendly.
Wot, no applets ?
Unfortunately "not all Java applets
are created alike"
(but we still use a few).
Internet Explorer and Netscape, the two main browsers don't handle things
quite the same.
We've aimed to maximise the information value, rather than the prettiness
of the The Wireless Directory,
so that everyone can benefit.
For maximum benefit of The Wireless Directory make sure you have an up-to-date browser v.5.0 or higher. To download an updated version go to C.NET.com.
Then please send us feedback so we can
add or correct it
You really can make a difference - your
input is vital to us improving the site.
If every visitor sends just a single piece of info about Bluetooth
in their country or company it'll radically improve.
Please become an active
contributor to the community, rather than just a passive observer.
Thanks.
