Visibility
Use the Visible [Visible] option to make
your NXT visible or invisible to other
Bluetooth devices when they do a
Bluetooth search.
Passkey
The Passkey [Passkey] ensures that
only Bluetooth devices approved by
you can connect to your NXT. Whenever
you connect to a Bluetooth device for
the fi rst time using your NXT, you will be
asked for a passkey. Select the preset
passkey 1234 or make up your own

know your passkey in order to confi rm a
connection with your NXT.

on or off. If you turn off Bluetooth, your

when it is not in use.
Note: Bluetooth is turned off by default.
