BLUETOOTH SECURITY FEATURES
On the Bluetooth system, it is possible to set a (configurable) PIN code to 
authenticate/connect Bluetooth devices, and encrypt the data.
The Bluetooth PIN code can be enabled 
and configured by reading the bar 
codes in the following sections.
If you are using a Bluetooth scanner directly connected to a host 
through a Bluetooth dongle, verify that the scanner and the Bluetooth 
driver used by the dongle share the same PIN code and the same 
security level. Otherwise the connection cannot be established.
Follow these steps to set the PIN code for a scanner:
1. Enable Bluetooth Security Mode  by scanning the “Enable” bar 
code 
below.
2. Sel
ect a PIN code length of either 4 or 16 characters by scanning the 
appropriate bar code in "Select PIN Code Length" on pa

3. Scan the relevant bar code from "Set PIN Code" on
 page 228, then scan 
the desired alphanumeric characte
rs from the keypad in Appendix D, 
Keypad to set the PIN code.
