Encrypting the content of your transmissions
Since Bluetooth
TM
wireless technology is conducted wirelessly, there is always the possibility that a third
party may be able to intercept your transmissions.
You can use encryption to render the content indecipherable to anyone who manages to intercept it.

[Option] and
select [security] tab.
The [Bluetooth Security Level] will appear.
2.
Select [Custom Level ...] in [ Bluetooth Security Level] under [security] tab.

Check the Link level enforced security [Authentification and encryption] in [Link Level

Your device will now be encryptable by other users, even when they connect for other devices.
Note
Once you have configured the security mode, a window will appear when you first make a connection
to another device, prompting you to enter a Bluetooth passkey (PIN code).
Please click on the [OK] button after you have entered the passkey.
The window in which you enter the passkey will not appear once you have connected more than two
