Page 21: Windows
2.1.3 Windows The Arrow follows the Bluetooth v2.1 standard and thus supports Secure Simple Pairing (SSP). In this process, a passkey is not required as the two parties exchange information transparently in the background during the pairing process. Bluetooth Stacks under the Windows operating system should not normally ask for a passkey. - Page 22 In the first window, select the Arrow, click on next and wait for the pairing to complete. During the process there might be an error notification and Windows will try to look for drivers for the Arrow. This is due to a glitch in the Win 7 / Win 8 Microsoft stack trying to pair also with the Apple protocol published by the Arrow.
- Page 23 In order to fix this problem, right click on the Arrow icon and select “Properties” In the “Hardware” tab, a communication port will be assigned to the Arrow for your software to communicate with it.

2.1.4 Windows Mobile Setting up Bluetooth on Windows Mobile devices requires some extra steps compared to the previous operating systems described in this chapter. The example in this section shows the flow for Windows Mobile 6.1 but the configuration for other versions of Windows Mobile is similar. In your Windows Mobile “Communication Manager”... - Page 27 The next window prompts for a passcode (or passkey): The Arrow Bluetooth Passkey is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Enter the passcode, then tap “Next”. (Some versions of Windows Mobile might ask to enter the passcode again; just tap next to ignore this 2 request).
- Page 28 In this next step, a COM port will be assigned manually to the Arrow. Select the “COM Ports” tab in the bottom menu, and then tap on “New Outgoing Port”. Select the newly paired Arrow and tap on “Next”. In the pull-down menu, all COM ports will be listed. Select COM9 or COM8. (It is highly recommended to select a COM port in the upper values, usually between COM9 and COM6 (as most of the ones with lower numbers will already be in used internally by Windows Mobile but unfortunately listed here in this pull-down)).
