Communication between a pair of Bluetooth devices requires one device to be set as the
"Master" and the other as the "Slave". To initiate connections from the DS side, set the DS as
the "Master" device. To initiate connections from the paired device side, set the DS as the
"Slave" device. Always set the DS to "Slave" when connecting with a data collector to perform
measurements and to record the data. Only "Slave" can be selected when the instrument is
shipped.
