Bluetooth
The Bluetooth menu item allows connecting and managing Bluetooth devices.
How to pair a new device
• Enable the pairing mode on the Bluetooth device. Some devices are in the
pairing mode by default when turned on and out of signal. Other devices have
a special key or combination of keys that will trigger the pairing mode. This is
device-specic and can be found in the manual of the device.
• Turn on Bluetooth and select the Scan for devices option. The scan may take
up to half a minute, then the nearby devices are listed.
• To pair a device, select the device in the list. Pairing may take a few seconds.
• Some devices may require entering a verication code. In this case, enter a code
provided by the BlindShell phone to the external Bluetooth device.
• To unpair a device, select the device in the Paired devices list and select Unpair
device.
Connecting and disconnecting a device
A newly paired device is usually connected automatically. To connect (or disconnect)
a device manually, select the device in the Paired devices list and select Connect
device (or Disconnect device).
Important notice:
• Before you can connect a paired device, you usually need to turn it on by a
switch on the device. Some devices may turn themselves o after a period of
inactivity.
• There are a vast number of Bluetooth devices on the market. BlindShell cannot
guarantee compatibility with every device available. Your BlindShell vendor
might be able to give you advice or oer you a tested model.
• Due to possible radio interference and due to the nature of the Bluetooth protocol
itself, there is no guarantee that a device will be found during the scan procedure.
If the device is not listed or cannot be paired, make sure it is still in the pairing
mode and then try the procedure again. If the problem persists, make sure there
is no strong source of interference in your area, like another Bluetooth device, a
WiFi router, or other radio devices.
Connection test
The Connection test menu item runs an internet connection test. The result provides
information about internet connection quality and BlindShell server availability.
