Bluetooth Adaptors - Compatibility

Not all Bluetooth adaptors on the market are supported by the V300 product series. Please use adaptors that have been

tested and supplied by VeEX only to ensure compatibility and correct operation.

Bluetooth Setup

Insert the Bluetooth adaptor into the USB port on the side of unit. If you are using more than one USB device, use an external USB

hub to connect additional devices. Once detected, a

Bluetooth

icon

is displayed on screen.

Devices

The test platform will automatically detect the Bluetooth adaptor once plugged into the USB port. Details of the Bluetooth adaptor will

be displayed including the MAC address of the device and the last 4 digits of the serial # of the V300 test set. The last 4 digits of the

V300 series test set will be the pairing code between the unit and the external device. Press the

Connection

tab to view the

passcode.
