Using Bluetooth
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 
code. Other Bluetooth devices must 
know your passkey in order to confi rm a 
connection with your NXT.
On/Off
You can turn your Bluetooth function 
on or off. If you turn off Bluetooth, your 
NXT cannot send or receive data and 
you will have to use the USB cable for 
downloading programs. To save battery 
power, turn off the Bluetooth function 
when it is not in use.
Note: Bluetooth is turned off by default.
