Determines whether the Bluetooth client discovers and displays all serial Bluetooth devices in

 

the vicinity (Filtered Mode is disabled/unchecked) or the discovery result displays Bluetooth

Filtered Mode

When Filtered Mode is disabled, the MX3Plus can pair with up to four Bluetooth devices, with a

 

limit of one Bluetooth scanner, one Bluetooth printer, one PAN, and one DUN connected at the

 

same time. More than one HID device can be connected but only one Bluetooth mouse and one

 

Bluetooth keyboard.

 

A Warmboot is required every time Filtered Mode is toggled on and off.

contains the data stored by bt_log.txt prior to reboot.

 

During a reboot process, the MX3Plus renames bt_log.txt to bt_log_bak.txt. If a file already

 

exists with that name, the existing file is deleted, the new bt_log_bak.txt file is added and a

 

new bt_log.txt is created.
