adapter where you cannot disable authentication. But we recommend that you use a
USB cable if you can.
If you want to use a passkey and have previously not been using one, you need to
reconfigure your Piranha/Barracuda Serial Bluetooth module. Detailed instructions are
available later on in this manual.
Bluetooth Passkey and Palm OS
If your meter is configured to use a Bluetooth passkey you need to add the meter as a
trusted device before you can use it with your handheld. Due to a problem in Palm OS
this requires that you perform some additional steps.
If you have already launched the QABrowser and you are asked for a passkey then you
can enter the following passkey: 0000. With some hardware the handheld might ask for
the passkey again (and again), then you can do one of the following:
1. Enter the passkey (0000) again, and again (will usually work after five times).
2. Cancel after it asks for the passkey the second time, cancel the next window
(
Connecting...
), and then you will be presented with the Bluetooth device list again.
This time your meter will have a key next to it and it will work properly.
3. Quit the QABrowser (by for instance a soft reset) and add the meter as a trusted
device. It is recommended that you do this before you launch the QABrowser after
having used the meter with Bluetooth and another device (handheld/PC).
Add as a Trusted Device on Palm OS
If you have not yet launched the QABrowser you can
do the following:
1. Launch

5. If you have already added your device before,
then remove it by selecting it, then click the

button, and then click
Delete Device.
6. Click
Add Device
and select your meter from the
list.
7. When prompted for a passkey enter 0000.
8. Now launch the QABrowser as described above.
If your Piranha/Barracuda hardware does not support multiple Bluetooth devices (see
above), and you use Bluetooth (with passkey) with more than one handheld, or if you
are using Bluetooth with a handheld and a PC you will need to re-add the meter as a
trusted device whenever you have used it with another PC or handheld (using a
