help rs232-bluetooth adaptor

[Anonymous]

HI everyone i got a problem with free2move rs232 bluetooth converter .I
bought this product in these days but couldnt make it work.I did
everything as datasheet says but there is no response from the
adaptor.When i insatlled the software and started it.It says choose a
port then i choose COM1 port and click ok button.But it returns with a
message "no free2move device has found" . I couldnt fix that problem.
one more thing, in datasheet it says pin 9 is Vcc + so i think an
external power supply doesnt required? cuz there is no power supplier
came with product but back side of converter it has a DC input...So
anyone can help me please...??

First, I assume you are using the F2M01C1. If this is the case, the datasheet lists two ways to power teh device. First is by using the DC jack on the back of the module (in which case, you need a 5V power supply with the correct plug on it) and second, byt supplying 5V through PIN9 of the DSUB connector. This qould require injecting power onto PIN9 from an external source (PIN9 is not commonly used). Giving a closer read of the data sheet might help:
