Bluetooth - Pairing

To pair with an external device first ensure the Bluetooth option is fitted. This can be checked on the Status bar. If
the Bluetooth icon is grey this means it is not fitted. Black icon indicates the option is fitted.

-

Switch on the external device.

-

Switch on the vLoc3-

Pro and enter the User setup menu by a long press on the “i” button.

-

Use the “+” and “-” keys to scroll down to the option “Bluetooth Pairing”.

-

Press the Enter key.

-

Press the Enter key to commence “Bluetooth search”.

-

A list of available devices will be shown.

-

Scroll down to the desired device and press the Enter key.

-

Double press the “I” button to return to the main screen.

-

After a few seconds the Bluetooth icon should turn blue indicating the device has paired successfully.

-

The unit will remember the pairing even after switching off. However, the unit can only remember one unit at
the time so if the unit is paired with another device the settings will be forgotten.
