Operating with Bluetooth
This Handheld has a wireless Bluetooth interface with a class 1 radio device that enables
wireless point-to-point communication with other Bluetooth-compatible devices. If the other
Bluetooth-compatible device also has a class 1 radio device, this results in a range of approx.
100 m in free field. The ranges of connections with a Bluetooth-compatible class 2 or 3 device
are correspondingly shorter.
If the Handheld is outside the range, it saves the read data in the internal memory. The
Handheld continues attempting to send the read data until the connection to the Bluetooth-
compatible device is restored. As soon as the Handheld sends the data to the Bluetooth-
compatible device, the data is deleted automatically from the internal memory.
Connecting the Handheld via Bluetooth
Establish a connection between the Handheld and a Bluetooth-compatible device
(e.g. laptop with corresponding Bluetooth USB dongle) as follows:
1.

Bluetooth-compatible device. This MAC address is usually printed next to the serial number on
the Bluetooth device or in the manual accompanying your Bluetooth device.
