Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The device supports the following Bluetooth services:
• Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as
general services.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between
two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.
• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a
wireless headset or wireless stereo speakers.
• Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a
user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices
and remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
• Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.
• Headset Profile (HSP) - Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place and receive
calls on the device.
• Hands-Free Profile (HFP) - Allows car hands-free kits to communicate with the device in the car.
• Personal Area Network (PAN) - Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to provide
L3 networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU role is supported.
• 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.
• Symbol Serial Interface (SSI) - Allows for communication with RS507 Bluetooth Imager.
Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
• Suspend - When the WT6000 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the WT6000 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.
NOTE: To achieve the best battery life turn off radios when not in use.
