● Scan— All Bluetooth devices enter into Page Scan mode. Different Bluetooth devices enter into the Page Scan mode
at different instances such as when a specific button is pressed three times or a specific button is pressed and held until
the LED turns blue.
● Connect— Select a particular Bluetooth enabled device, and click Connect to connect the selected device to the thin
client. If the Bluetooth device is connected successfully, the status is displayed as Connected in the Bluetooth window.
● Remove— Select a particular Bluetooth device, and click Remove to disconnect and remove the device from the list.
● Auto Connect function—The Auto Connect function is designed for HIDs.
Prerequisites:
○ ThinOS has no HIDs connected such as USB or Bluetooth HIDs.
○ The Bluetooth HIDs are configured as Page Scan mode.
When you start the ThinOS client, the Bluetooth HIDs can connect to ThinOS automatically without scanning or pairing
operations. The Bluetooth HIDs automatically reconnects after you restart the ThinOS client.
● Reconnect function—The Reconnect function is designed for HIDs and Headsets.
When you restart the system with the Bluetooth device (HID/headset) that is already paired and connected, the
Bluetooth device automatically reconnects within a few seconds.
For example, you can hover the Bluetooth mouse, and then click a few times for the Bluetooth mouse to reconnect
successfully. The Bluetooth headset reconnects automatically, but might require you to manually close or reopen the
device on certain occasions.
To know about the certified devices, refer the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS release notes.
