Chapter 12 Optimizing Bluetooth® performance
Bluetooth communication works best when the communicating devices have an
unobstructed view from one device to the other. When possible, remove or reduce obstacles
between the radio and the mobile device during Bluetooth communication.
Pairing Bluetooth for Itron Mobile app users
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pairing is performed by the Itron Mobile app installed on your
mobile device.
• Select your radio from the list of radios in the Itron Mobile app.
Pairing Bluetooth in Windows 10 for FDM users
The default Bluetooth Classic PIN is the last four digits of the Itron Mobile Radio serial
number.
If you pair your Itron Mobile Radio (IMR) with your Windows 10 device using the Windows'
Settings, two identical Bluetooth connections will be shown for your Itron Mobile Radio.
There will be one entry for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and one for Bluetooth Classic.
There is no indication of which entry is which version of Bluetooth. For this reason, you
should not pair the radio with your Windows 10 device using Windows' Settings.
To ensure you are properly connected to Classic Bluetooth, Itron recommends that you
download the Itron Bluetooth Pairing Tool from the Itron Access website. The tool will force
your Windows 10 device to pair with the IMR using only Bluetooth Classic.
Important: Do not use the Itron Bluetooth Pairing Tool with the Itron Mobile app. For pairing
the IMR with the Itron Mobile app, see Pairing Bluetooth for Itron Mobile app users on page
14.
To pair Bluetooth in Windows 10 for FDM users:
1. Install the Itron Bluetooth Pairing Tool on your Windows 10 device.
2. Turn on your IMR.
3. Run the Itron Bluetooth Pairing Tool on your Windows 10 device.
Your Windows 10 device will automatically begin looking for Bluetooth devices to pair
with.

devices.
The device name is IMRnnnnnn where n = the last six digits of the serial number of the
device you are trying to pair with.
