Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
NOTE Turning the Bluetooth radio on and off using the following procedures is only available on OEM version
05.30.0000 and higher. Earlier OEM versions use StoneStreet API commands to turn the Bluetooth radio
on and off. See the SDMDK Help File for more information.
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, the wearable terminal can not be seen by or connected to other Bluetooth devices. Turn on the
Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with
Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
NOTE To achieve the best battery life in wearable terminals with multiple radios, turn off the radios that are not being
used.
