Interference
It is recommended that to get the best signal out of the Bluetooth enabled indicator, no metal should be placed near the
indicator. Metals disrupt the signal coming from the Bluetooth module and might produce noise interference in the
communication resulting in corrupt data being transmitted. The metal also might cause the signal range to be diminished
causing serious reduction in communication range.
Overview of Menu Options
This section explains the various menu options available in the indicator to manipulate the Bluetooth module. The actual
sequence of the operation will be covered in the next section (see “Basic Operation”). These menu options can be accessed
by pressing MENU key on the main screen, then selecting OPTIONS SETUP->BLUETOOTH SETUP.
Bluetooth Reset
This menu option executes a soft reset on the internal Bluetooth. This reset is usually performed when the Bluetooth module
is performing erratically.
Scan Remote Devices
This option allows you to scan for any Bluetooth devices present in the vicinity. All Bluetooth devices scanned will be placed
in a database, which can be accessed using the “List All Devices” option
.
Find Remote Devices [N/A]
This option allows you to scan for a specific device in the vicinity.
List All Devices
This option lists all the devices that have been scanned using the “Scan Remote Devices” option. In this list, you can check
the
properties
of a remote device,
connect
to a remote device and even check the connection
status
of a remote device.
Quick Connect Device
The Quick Connect option allows fast-connection to a particular device based on used defined parameters, without going
through menu options. The user may select the name of the device to connect to or the specific address. The connection
process is further explained in the section “Quick Connect Operation
”.
Bluetooth Local Settings (Advanced)
This option allows the user to set settings for the internal Bluetooth module, such as the local name, aerial virtual COM port
and factory settings.
Basic Operation
Pairing and Default Pin
Please note there might be a need to pair the scale with the remote Bluetooth device. The default pin for the scale is ‘0000’.
As soon as you get the prompt to enter a pin for pairing on your remote device, enter the stated pin to commence pairing.
Pairing can be before or during the connection sequence. The Default Pin option is further explained in the Advance Settings
section. Instructions are provided on how to change the default pin, or if so desired, to eliminate the default pin and use
manual entry on the fly.
Connection
There are two types of connections that are going to be discussed in this section; Outgoing Connection and Incoming
Connection.
Outgoing Connection
Outgoing connection is the connection that the user initiates from the scale. The user has full control on how this connection
will be established. The following steps explain how to conduct this connection.
1. As recommended, before conducting any Bluetooth operations perform a soft reset of the Bluetooth module to bring
it to a known state.
