• Message Access Profile (MAP) - Allows exchange of messages between devices.
• Out of Band (OOB) - Allows exchange of information used in the pairing process. Pairing is completed
using the Bluetooth radio, but requires information from the OOB mechanism. Using OOB with NFC
enables pairing when devices simply get close, rather than requiring a lengthy discovery process.
Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
• Suspend - When the ET5X goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the ET5X is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane
mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state. When in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio
can be turned back on if desired.
Bluetooth Radio Power
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, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the device. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange
information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.

Discovering Bluetooth Device(s)
The ET5X can receive information from discovered devices without pairing. However, once paired, the ET5X and a
paired device exchange information automatically when the Bluetooth radio is on. To find Bluetooth devices in the
area:
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
2. Ensure that the Bluetooth device to discover is in discoverable mode.
3. Ensure that the two devices are within 10 meters (32.8 feet) of one another.
4. Swipe down with two fingers from the status bar to open the quick access panel and then touch .
5. Touch Bluetooth.
