The Conguration dialog box:
First, you have to set your Bluetooth cell phone as a portable key. On the Auto Green
main menu, click Congure and then click Congure BT devices. Select the Blu-
etooth cell phone that you want to use as the portable key
(Note 1)
. (If the screen doesn't
display your Bluetooth cell phone, click Refresh to let Auto Green re-detect the device.)
Before creating a Bluetooth cell phone key, make sure your motherboard
has a Bluetooth receiver and you have turned on the search and Bluetooth
functions on your phone.
Configuring other Bluetooth settings:
On the Other Settings tab, you can set how much time it takes to scan your Bluetooth
cell phone key, how many times to rescan the key to make sure it is in range of your
computer, and when to turn off the hard drive if the system energy saving state lasts
over the predetermined period of time. After completing the settings, click Set for the
settings to take effect and then click Exit to quit.
Configuring the Bluetooth cell phone key:
After you select a cell phone, the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard as shown on the left
will appear. Enter a passkey (8~16 digits recommended) which will be used for pairing
with the cell phone. Then enter the same passkey on your cell phone.
• DeviceScanTime(sec.):
Set the length of time Auto Green scans your Bluetooth cell phone key, ranging from 5 to 30 seconds in 5-second increment.
Auto Green searches for the key based on the length of time you set.
• RescanTimes:
Set how many times Auto Green will rescan your Bluetooth cell phone key if it does not detect it, ranging from 2 to 5 times. Auto
Green will keep rescanning according to the times you set. When the times limit is reached and your Bluetooth cell phone key
is still not detected, the system will enter the selected energy saving mode.
