Bluetooth

The SpotChecker optionally features an external Blue-
tooth adapter. If included in the delivery, connections
via Blue tooth are possible.

Attaching and initializing of the Bluetooth adapter is
also possible during program run.

– Loosen the knurled screw in the cover on the top

side of the instrument and open the cover com-
pletely.

– Plug the Bluetooth adapter in a free USB connec-

tor. If the SpotChecker is switched on, the adapter
is initialized and immediately ready for operation.

– Shut the cover and fasten the knurled screw.

In order to communicate via Bluetooth the involved
instruments have to establish a connection with each
other (Pairing). The method depends on the instru-
ment used in each case and is not described here.
