Chapter 5 Configuring for Other Services / Applications
"
Note:
HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes diffi-
cult to find, that must be pressed before other Bluetooth
devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is pressed,
the HID can only be discovered for a limited time, and then
the button must be pressed again. The time period can be as
short as 30 seconds or as long as 180 seconds. Read the docu-
mentation that accompanies the HID before you attempt to
connect to the device.
Close an HID connection
Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close an
HID connection; once established the connection is main-
tained automatically, even during the power off and power on
processes. If, for some reason, the connection must be closed:
from My Bluetooth Places, right-click the service name and
select Disconnect.
When an HID connection is closed manually by the operator,
the connection’s “persistence” is broken. The connection must
be re-established manually, after which theconnection will
again persist until broken manually.
Configure
No configuration is necessary.
