MC55 User Guide
Bluetooth Power States
Cold Boot
Performing a cold boot on the MC55 turns off Bluetooth after initialization (which takes a few moments). It is normal
to see the Bluetooth icon appear and disappear, as well as a wait cursor, when initialization proceeds in all modes.
Warm Boot
Performing a warm boot on the MC55 turnsoff Bluetooth.
Suspend
Suspending the MC55 turns off Bluetooth.
NOTE
If there is an active Bluetooth connection between the MC55 and another Bluetooth device, the MC55 will not
timeout. However, if the user presses the Power button on the MC55, the MC55 will suspend and upon
receiving data from a remote Bluetooth device, the MC55 will wake from suspend mode. For example,
headset redial or Bluetooth scanner sending data to the MC55.
Resume
When the MC55 resumes, Bluetooth turns on if it was on prior to suspend.
Modes
The BTExplorer application has two modes for managing Bluetooth connections: Wizard Mode and Explorer Mode.
The Wizard Mode is for novice Bluetooth users and the Explorer Mode is for experienced Bluetooth users. To

NOTE Switching between Wizard Mode and Explorer Mode closes all active connections.

wizard.
Explorer Mode
The Explorer Mode window is easy to navigate and provides greater control to users familiar with Bluetooth. The
menu bar provides quick access to the options and tools used to connect to devices. To access Explorer Mode, tap
View > Explorer Mode.
