Save Settings
Permanently Establishing a Connection 
Scan the Save Settings Code at the bottom of the page to make the RF settings (including which device to connect to) 
permanent on the reader:
Disconnecting from the Device
You may force disconnection by reading the disconnect code below (The CR2500 may not appear 
disconnected in the slave Bluetooth connection manager for 10 – 15 seconds after the command is issued). The CR2500 
will also disconnect after 90 seconds of inactivity (Note: You may change the radio sleep time out setting; however, it may 
reduce battery life).
Bluetooth Disconnect
Reconnecting to the Device
If the device is saved in RF mode and has a save connection (save was performed while connected) it will automatically 
reconnect when:
  1.  CR2500 is powered up
  2.  CR2500 wakes from sleep mode
  3.  CR2500 reads another code
1.8.2 - Bluetooth Radio Auto Connect
Auto Connect: After coming out of sleep mode or after powering up the CR2500 tries to auto connect with the last 
Bluetooth radio with which it was connected if the steps (previous) were followed (see Section 1.7.1 - Connecting with a 
Quick Connect Code). You may also re-connect by scanning a QuickConnect code. 
Scan the following codes to enable or disable Auto Connect feature for the Bluetooth radio:
Bluetooth Radio         Bluetooth Radio
Auto Connect: On (Default)      Auto Connect: Off 
1.8.3 - Bluetooth Radio Auto Disconnect
Auto Disconnect: This feature is used when multiple CR2500 readers are connecting to the same Bluetooth Radio. By 
enabling Auto Disconnect the CR2500 radio disconnects after each data transmission, allowing other radios to connect.
Scan the following codes to enable or disable Auto Disconnect feature for the Bluetooth radio:
Bluetooth Radio         Bluetooth Radio 
Auto Disconnect: On        Auto Disconnect: Off (Default)
Note: Auto Connect should always 
be set to “On” if Auto Disconnect 
is set to “On”. Otherwise the 
QuickConnect code would need 
to be re-scanned after every 
disconnect.
