When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module pairs with another Bluetooth device, it means the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module can send serial data to the paired Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth Ring Scanner module paired data is stored in non-volatile memory in the module and data is saved over power cycles. Paired devices automatically reconnect when power is applied.

Bluetooth MAC ID Bar Code Label

Locate the bar code label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the Bluetooth capable Honeywell mobile device. It may be on any side of the device. The label is the Bluetooth address identifier for the Bluetooth capable mobile computer. It must be scanned before pairing connection with the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module can occur. The bar code label on the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is a bar code and numeric representation of the MAC ID of the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module.

Scan Pairing Bar Code Help

The MAC ID bar codes on some Bluetooth capable mobile devices are quite small. If you are unsuccessful using the ring imager when scanning a MAC ID bar code with a ring imager, change the ring imager’s default Smart Focus Mode to Near Focus by scanning the Enable Near Focus bar code. Ensure focus mode is changed back to the default value of Smart Focus after the MAC ID bar code read is successful.

The Bluetooth module MAC ID label should remain protected from damage (rips, tears, spills, soiling, erasure, etc.) at all times.

Connecting to a Bluetooth Device

Method 1

Note: For the Dolphin 70e, you must start tnd configure EZ Pairing first. For more information see EZ Pairing in the Dolphin Power Tools 8.x User’s Guide for Mobile Devices with Windows® Embedded Handheld, available at www.honeywellaidc.com.

Using the Bluetooth Ring Scanner assembly, scan the pairing bar code (Bluetooth MAC address of the device) on the Blue- tooth device (e.g., handheld or vehicle mount unit).

The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module initiates the pairing process with the Bluetooth device and the devices are paired. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module’s Bluetooth LED flashes every 4 seconds. This is the recommended method for pairing.

Note: An unpaired Bluetooth Ring Scanner will re-pair with the last device to which it was paired when it scans a regular (non-pairing) bar code. If the last paired device is not available, then the Bluetooth Ring Scanner will remain unpaired. In this case, scanning a regular bar code is equivalent to scanning the pairing bar code of the last device. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner will try and, if it fails, will remain unpaired. If the pairing succeeds, the data from the regular bar code is discarded.

Method 2

Note: This method is not available for the Dolphin 70e.

Using the ring scanner attached to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module, and the bar codes in Bluetooth Module Program- ming, scan the Pairing Status (page 3-3)> Enable Slave Mode bar code.

Using the Bluetooth host device (e.g., handheld or vehicle mount unit) access the EZ Pairing control panel by tapping the Bluetooth icon on the Desktop (or the Taskbar or the Control Panel).

Open the Bluetooth Devices panel. Tap the Discover button to discover nearby Bluetooth scanners and printers. Identify the scanner you wish to pair with by matching the Friendly name (Scanner – [MAC ID]) with the MAC address label on the scanner. Doubletap the Friendly Name and select Pair as Scanner from the drop-down menu. Close the EZ Pairing appli- cation.

Notes

•Assumption is that the Bluetooth scanner parameters are at the factory defaults for the scanner.

•When users can use any mobile device with any scanner -- When returning from a break or at the beginning of a shift all users should pair a scanner with their mobile device using either of the methods shown above.

•When the scanner and mobile device pair successfully, the Scanner Wedge automatically sets Wedge Port 1 to be used by Bluetooth. If the mobile device is equipped with other integrated or tethered scanners, they must be configured to use a Scanner Wedge Port other than Port 1 if they are to be used when a Bluetooth scanner is paired.

•When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner is paired to a device using a Bluetooth driver other than EZ Pairing, the Bluetooth scanner serial data should be managed in accordance with your other Bluetooth devices.
