Connecting the Instrument to a PC

With the PC as a host, a connection to the instrument can be established using Bluetooth communication.

Operating Procedure

Verify that the instrument power has been turned 
ON.

Verify that the instrument’s Bluetooth function has 
been turned ON. Also make sure the Bluetooth 
function is not being used to connect to a printer 
and that the USB cable is not being used to connect 
to the PC.

Start the Bluetooth utility on the PC.

Search for nearby Bluetooth devices, and select 
“CM-A219” from the list of displayed devices.

Enter the PIN code for the instrument (refer to step 4 
on page 106
) on the PC.

Open the Bluetooth serial port to connections.

Once the connection has been established, the remote icon 
will be displayed in the status bar on the instrument.
