Connecting to a Generic Bluetooth Device

1.Using the ring scanner attached to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module, and the bar codes in Bluetooth Module Pro- gramming, scan the following bar codes:

•Restore Factory Defaults

•Pairing Status > Enable Slave Mode

2.Using the ring decoder and the bar codes in the ring decoder-engine-specific chapter (e.g., SE955 Laser Bar Codes) configure the ring decoder to meet the requirements of the targeted generic Bluetooth device.

3.Using the generic Bluetooth device, and the device’s Bluetooth software, perform a Discovery of nearby Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner assembly is identified by the label “LXE Scanner – (MAC ID)”.

4.Using the generic device’s Bluetooth software, pair the devices.When the devices are paired, the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module’s Bluetooth LED flashes every 4 seconds.

The generic Bluetooth device will receive serial data sent by the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module every time a bar code is read and decoded by the attached ring decoder.

Clearing Paired Status

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

Using the Bluetooth 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. Locate the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module in the list of paired devices by comparing the MAC ID number in the list with the MAC ID bar code on the module.

Doubletap the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module icon. The right-mouse-click menu appears. Select Disconnect. When the icon is red, select Delete. All devices in the Bluetooth Devices panel can be cleared (deleted) in this manner, if necessary.

The deleted Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is excluded from the list the next time the Bluetooth Devices panel is opened.

If you cannot disconnect/delete the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module from the generic device at the end of the work day, Contact your System Administrator for assistance.
