Here are the steps to set it up. Please don't take offense to the beginner level instructions following - I am writing even the simplest steps just to be complete for anyone who might be a complete novice.
Start-Settings-Connections
Bluetooth-Mode Leaf
Check "Enable Bluetooth" if it not yet enabled
Go to Bluetooth Devices Leaf
(Turn on the Holux 240 and wait ~5-10 seconds)
Click "Add new device"
Select the (?)HOLUX GPSlim240 and click Next
Type "0000" as the passcode and click Next
Select "Serial Port" if it is not checked and click Finish
Go to Bluetooth COM Ports leaf
Tap "New Outgoing Port"
Select "Holux GPSlim240" if it not all ready highlighted and click Next
Select a com port from the drop-own list (I selected COM8 to make sure it won't interfere with any other devices). You can leave "Secure Connection" selected. Click Finish.
Close the Bluetooth and Settings Menu/Folder
If you followed my example your GPS should now be set up to use COM8 and will transmit data at 38400 baud. You must set up your GPS software to use these correct settings. I have not yet tested using more than one outgoing COM port from the Holux since moving to the AKU3.5 build but it worked fine a few versions ago.
