Bluetooth Wireless Communication Setup 

The Merlin™ 2 PCS is Bluetooth

®

 Low Energy wireless compatible. Bluetooth is built into the 

Merlin 2 PCS. This allows for communication between the Merlin 2 PCS and an implanted device 
that supports Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communication without the need for a dongle. 

-

 

Do not put anything between the Merlin 2 PCS and the implanted device. People and 

objects may interfere with communication between the Merlin 2 PCS and the device.  

-

 

Confirm that the Bluetooth icon is visible on the Merlin 2 PCS Start-up screen. 

-

 

Follow the instructions provided on the Start-up screen to begin communication 

between the Merlin 2 PCS and an implanted device that supports Bluetooth Low 

Energy wireless communication.  

-

 

Do not use a Bluetooth dongle. 

CAUTION: For optimal Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communication, the 
Merlin 2 PCS and St. Jude Medical implantable devices should be within 2 m (6.6 ft) of 
each other in normal use. Do not operate a device that may generate interference, 
such as a powerful microwave oven, when utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy wireless 
communication.
