1. Get the Digi XBeeMobile phone application.
2. Open the Digi XBee Mobile application. The Find XBee devices screen appears and the app
automatically begins scanning for devices. All nearby devices with BLEenabled are displayed in
a list.
3. Scroll through the list to find your XBee device.
The first time you open the app on a phone and scan for devices, the device list contains only
the name of the device and the BLE signal strength. No identifying information for the device
displays. After you have authenticated the device, the device information is cached on the
phone. The next time the app on this phone connects to the XBee device, the IMEI for the
device displays in the app device list.
Note The IMEI is derived from the SH and SL values.
4. Tap the XBee device name in the list. A password dialog appears.
5. Enter the password you previously configured for the device in XCTU.
6. Tap OK. The Device Information screen displays. You can now scroll through the settings for
the XBee device and change the device's configuration as needed.

BLE advertising behavior and services
When the Bluetooth radio is enabled, periodic BLE advertisements are transmitted. The
advertisement data includes the product name. When an XBee device connects to the Bluetooth radio,
the BLE services are listed:
n Device Information Service
n XBee API BLEService
Device Information Service
The standard Device Information Service is used. The Manufacturer, Model, and Firmware Revision
characters are provided inside the service.
XBee API BLEService
You can configure the XBee through the BLE interface using API frame requests and responses. The
API frame format through Bluetooth is equivalent to setting AP=1 and transmitting the frames over
the UART or SPI interface. API frames can be executed over Bluetooth regardless of the AP setting.
The BLE interface allows these frames:
n BLE Unlock API - 0x2C
n BLEUnlock Response - 0xAC
n AT Command - 0x08
This API reference assumes that you are familiar with Bluetooth and GATT services. The specifications
for Bluetooth are an open standard and can be found at the following links:
