User's Manual

Selecting option “2” will immediately place your ADAPTER into security mode 2. This mode allows remote
Bluetooth devices to search for and retrieve the services on your ADAPTER, but will not allow them to connect
unless the 2 devices are paired.
Selecting option “3” will immediately place your ADAPTER into security mode 3. This is the highest security mode
available. Connections of any kind from a remote Bluetooth device are only allowed after a successful “pairing” has
been performed. No services will be shown to other Bluetooth devices unless the 2 devices are successfully
paired.
Unlike the communications settings, this Bluetooth setting is applied with immediate effect.
The tables below show some more information with regards to the application of the security settings
