Bluetooth’, and the page shows the version and revision information on the

HCI and on the LMP of the Bluetooth.

3. The Bluetooth is now up and running. You can close the applet either

tapping on the ’OK’ button or the ‘Close’ button on the title bar. This setting

was made permanent in the registry by tapping the ON/OFF button on the

‘Hardware’ property page. However, before you continue, please, read the

note below, because this operation has a side effect which may come as a

surprise.

Setting Bluetooth in Non-

Discoverable/Discoverable Mode

Non-discoverable mode means that the other Bluetooth devices cannot

discover the existence of the PL3000 being within their range. Similarly you can

make the PL3000 discoverable if it is in non-discoverable mode.

Before you begin, open the ‘Bluetooth Device Properties’ control panel

applet (see the section ‘Control Panel’ on page 30).

To set the Bluetooth in non-discoverable mode:

1. Select ‘General‘ tab, if not selected

2. Tap on the ’Advanced’ button to open the ‘Advanced Configuration’ dialog

box.

3. Tab on the ‘Discovery’ check box (‘Let other Bluetooth devices discover

this device’) so that the tick (the check mark) disappears from it.

Note! The manufacture and the address information may be

confusing because the manufacture is unknown and the

address is zeros. Yet next time you open the ‘Bluetooth

Device Properties’ applet the Bluetooth address information

is available, although the manufacture remains unknown.

Note! The ‘Bluetooth Device Properties’ applet is not a

typical one, because tapping on the ‘Turn ON Bluetooth’

button on the ‘Hardware’ property page makes all the

changes in the registry permanent. The stress is placed on

the words: ‘all the changes’, meaning that if you have made

alterations to the settings of some other property on your

PL3000, for example using another control panel applet,

now after turning on (also off) the Bluetooth on the

‘Hardware’ property page you also made those other

settings permanent. For more information on permanent

settings, see the section ‘Registry’ on page 26.
