will appear after you tap ““Not Paired””. Tap ““Pair”” to complete pairing and 
connect the devices. The iPad, iPhone or iPod device and the AirLink

2

 need 

only be paired once.

Step 5: The screen should show that the AirLink

2

 is connected. The 

green LED on the AirLink

2

 should be ON. The Bluetooth icon in 

the upper right corner of the device should be blue, indicating an 
active connection.

a PASPORT sensor to the AirLink

2

, and start collecting data.

Part Two: Using the PASPORT AirLink

2

 with a Computer

Because the AirLink

2

 communicates with the computer wirelessly, it does not physically connect to the computer. Instead, you set up 

a wireless connection from the computer to the AirLink

2

 in software.

You can connect to only one AirLink

2

 at a time. Once you connect to an AirLink

2

, no one else can access that AirLink

2

. Depending 

on the environment, the AirLink

2

 must remain within 30 feet (10 meters) of the computer you intend to use. Actual range may vary.

Setting Up the Computer with Bluetooth

••

The AirLink

2

 requires DataStudio version 1.9.9 or higher (see the PASCO web site at www.pasco.com).

••

Position the AirLink

2

 ON/OFF switch to ON. The green LED will blink slowly (about 1 Hz) when the AirLink

2

 is 

on. 

Note

: Each PASPORT AirLink

2

  has an identification number (for example, AirLink2-00056), that is printed on a label on the bot-

tom of the AirLink

2

. Use this ID number to select the AirLink

2

 in the DataStudio software when setting up and connecting

Alert window

Tap ““Pair””

Bluetooth icon is blue.
