5.3 Storing the codes in myVEGA

If the user has a "

myVEGA

" account, then the Bluetooth access code

as well as the device code are additionally stored in his account under

"

PINs and Codes

". This greatly simplifies the use of additional adjust-

ment tools, as all Bluetooth access and device codes are automati-

cally synchronized when connected to the "

myVEGA

" account
