Bluetooth Friendly Name
You can set a meaningful name for the digital scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The
default name is the digital scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g.,
DS6878 123456789ABCDEF. Scanning
Set Defaults reverts the digital scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the user-programmed name
through a Set Defaults operation.
To set a new Bluetooth Friendly Name, scan the following bar code, then scan up to 23 characters from Appendix
E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. If the name contains less than 23 characters, scan End of Message on page E-7 after
entering the name.
Discoverable Mode
Select a discoverable mode based on the device initiating discovery:
•
Select General Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a PC.
•
Select Limited Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a mobile device (e.g., Motorola Q), and
the device does not appear in General Discoverable Mode. Note that it can take longer to discover the device
in this mode.
The device remains in Limited Discoverable Mode for 30 seconds, and green LEDs flash while in this mode.
It is then non-discoverable. To re-active Limited Discoverable Mode, press the trigger.
NOTE If your application allows you to set a device name, this takes precedence over the Bluetooth Friendly
Name.
