Bluetooth Pairing (PC or Laptop)
1. Turn your MFT ‘on’ to any setting, and turn the smaller dial to the settings (‘spanner’) position to enter the setup mode.
2. Press the
button on the MFT until you see ‘StR’ appear on the display. At this point you should ensure that ‘bt’ is displayed
in larger letters on the main part of the MFT’s display.
If this is not the case use the right-hand TEST & Lock buttons as UP/DOWN arrows to scroll through the options to select your
chosen communication method.
• IN = Internal Only
• Bt = Bluetooth Only
3. Once you have selected your chosen storage/communication location, press the left hand Bluetooth/Lock button once to save
this as your preference. The Lock icon will now stop flashing in the upper left hand corner of the MFT’s display and disappear to
indicate your preference has been saved.
4. You will now need to press the
arrow once to display the ‘bt’ setup option.
5. To enter the Bluetooth pairing mode you will now need to push and hold down the left hand Bluetooth/Lock button until you
see two oscillating chevrons ( <> ) appear on the display and then release. The Bluetooth pairing will fill the first empty slot
available, if there are no empty slots left, it will overwrite the currently shown slot on the MFT’s display. If all slots are currently in
use and you wish to add another, display on the screen the slot that you want to overwrite. To do this use the right-hand TEST &
Lock buttons as UP/DOWN arrows to scroll through all 5 slots.
6. From your PC/Laptop run the ‘Add Bluetooth Device’ wizard.
• You will be prompted during the pairing process to enter your passkey, enter ‘1234’
• During the pairing process you may also be prompted to enable the ‘Bluetooth Serial Port’. Ensure this option is
chosen if you are given this option.
7. Once you have clicked ‘Finish’ on the wizard on the PC/Laptop the pairing process will now be complete and your PC/Laptop
pairing code will be displayed on the MFT. You can now turn the dial and leave the settings (‘Spanner’) position on the MFT.

1. Set the MFT Range knob to the Bluetooth SET UP position.
2. Press the Bluetooth (Lock) button on the MFT, the MFT will show ‘- - -‘ if no pairing exists or the last three digits of a paired
identity if already paired. If these three digits are the last three digits of your Bluetooth identity code (e.g. 963) then you are
already paired with it. If you don’t recognise them or are unsure then continue with the pairing process.
