Tap the Accept button or the Decline button to remove the dialog box from the screen.

 

 

Note: In some cases, if a Bluetooth device is already paired this setting cannot be changed.

 

If this is the case, an error message is displayed and the option is not changed. The

 

Bluetooth device must be disconnected before changing this setting.

 

 

 

This option is Disabled by default.

Continuous Search

When enabled, the Bluetooth connection never stops searching for a device it has paired with

when the connection is broken (such as the paired device entering Suspend mode, going out of

 

range or being turned off). When disabled, after being enabled, the MX7 stops searching after

 

30 minutes. This option draws power from the Main Battery.

 

 

 

This option is Enabled by default.

 

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

 

scanners and printers only (Filtered Mode is enabled/checked).

Filtered Mode

When Filtered Mode is disabled, the MX7 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.

 

 

 

This option is Disabled by default.

Printer Port - COM9

This option assigns Bluetooth printer connection to COM9 instead of COM19. To enable this

 

option, Filtered Mode must be enabled.

 

 

 

This option is Disabled by default.

 

When logging is enabled, the MX7 creates bt_log.txt and stores it in the /System folder.

 

Bluetooth activity logging is added to the text file as activity progresses. A bt_log_bak.txt file

Logging

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

 

During a reboot process, the MX7 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.
