BLUETOOTH (OPTIONAL)
Bluetooth is intended for wireless connections up to 100ft, depending on the installation environment.
The ELITEpro XC uses the higher power Class 1 Bluetooth transceiver for longest range. Please note that
range may be limited if the ELITEpro XC is mounted within a metal cabinet.
NOTE: A laptop cannot be in a docking station when using Bluetooth.
Connections must be configured initially via USB by users with knowledge of Windows Bluetooth
wireless technology enabled products.
To make a Bluetooth connection from a PC to an ELITEpro XC both devices must have a Bluetooth
module. Most PCs, including laptops, do not have Bluetooth and it may be necessary to purchase a
Bluetooth dongle (usually a plug-in USB device) and add it to the PC. If purchasing an external Bluetooth
dongle ensure that it supports SPP, Serial Port Protocol. Typically the packaging will indicate if it
supports SPP. Follow the Bluetooth manufacturer’s instructions for installing the Bluetooth device.
The rest of this discussion assumes that the PC has Bluetooth capability. Additional information may be
found by opening Windows Help and searching for “Bluetooth.” Look for “Add a Bluetooth enabled
device.”
Bluetooth devices must be “paired” to communicate. Look in the Task Bar on your PC for the
Bluetooth icon (Hint, the symbol may be hidden until the “Show hidden icons” button is clicked). After
clicking the Bluetooth icon a window should open as shown below (Windows 7):
