Bluetooth communication through the associated COM Port.

established. Ensure that the Probe is in Awake Mode by pressing the push button of the Probe.

This step verifies that the Tablet/Laptop can communicate with the Probe. Once Bluetooth
connectivity and functional communication are verified, first press the Close button to close the
"Check Bluetooth Serial Port" dialog then the Probe can be switched off. The Probe will be
switched on again in the field when scanning is to begin.

Tablet/Laptop are fully charged. The batteries of the Tablet/Laptop are best maintained for
longer life by recharging before the battery charge depletes below 50%.
