The Bluetooth adapter connects to an internal serial port of the 6820,
providing serial print data over a transparent Bluetooth link, running a
Serial Port Profile (SPP).
Printing is primarily accomplished over a Bluetooth link using the SPP
protocol with a 700 Series or CK60 Mobile Computer. If the relevant
printer configuration allows it, a 700 Series or CK60 in a terminal holder
charges normally.
The Bluetooth adapter allows for four states or modes to be available.
Each state is dependent upon either the pin states on the terminal holder
connector or the programming connector on the adapter described later.

•
State 1 - In addition to allowing normal Bluetooth printing, this state
also allows for a 700 Series or CK60 in the terminal holder to
perform a Bluetooth self-test.
•
State 2 is a Transparent Pass Through mode available for all 700
Series and CK60s. During this mode, the Bluetooth module is shut
down and does not communicate.
•
State 3 (Bluetooth reconfiguring using a 700 Color (730, 740, 741,
750, 751, 760, 761) or CK60). This state is unavailable when a 700
Monochrome (705, 710, 720) is used, since the A/B pin is
unavailable.
•
State 4 allows for programming the Bluetooth module via its SPI
pins. This state is also used for manufacturing tests. To be in this
