.7 - Bluetooth Radio Operation

.7. - Introduction

Wireless CR2 units features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for point-to-point wireless
communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial port protocol (SPP). The following
guide will give you general instructions on connecting your CR2 to a desktop or laptop computer with a
Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Opticon website and create a
QuickConnect Code that is specific to your device (Figure 1.12). This code will link your CR2 directly
to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will need to know the Bluetooth
address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. You can usually find the 12-character
Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near the device's serial number (see Figure 1.13).
SAMPLE ONLY

If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter from Opticon or from an
authorized distributor, a QuickConnect Code was included. If you bought a Bluetooth adapter separately
and wish to create a QuickConnect Code, please visit Opticon web site at:
http://www.opticonUSA.com.
Important Note: While installing the Bluetooth Configuration Manager software that was included with
your Bluetooth adapter, make sure to note the Communication Port number the software assigned for the
adapter (e.g. COM 10). This is the COM Port your CR2 will connect through.
To connect your reader, scan the Reset to Factory Defaults below then the QuickConnect Code and your
CR2 will automatically connect. You should also scan the Save Settings code if you want to save these
settings. (Note: If the CR2 unit powers off without scanning the Save Settings code, you will lose your
settings).
