the meter with another handheld or PC (using Bluetooth) you will need to add the
meter as a trusted device again.
New hardware which supports multiple devices
Piranha with product version 3.0 (which started shipping around spring 2009) and
higher, and product version 2.5.4 supports multiple Bluetooth devices, which means
that you can use it with both a PC and handheld without additional steps.
The new Barracuda serial to Bluetooth adapter below can also be used with multiple
Bluetooth devices.
Advantages of using a Passkey
· Works with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
· Increased security
The main reason to change so that you use a passkey is if you are going to use
Bluetooth communication and Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP and a Bluetooth
adapter where you cannot disable authentication. But we recommend that you use a
USB cable if you can.
If you want to use a passkey and have previously not been using one, you need to
reconfigure your Piranha/Barracuda Serial Bluetooth module. Detailed instructions are
available later on in this manual.
Bluetooth Passkey and Palm OS
If your meter is configured to use a Bluetooth passkey you need to add the meter as a
trusted device before you can use it with your handheld. Due to a problem in Palm OS
this requires that you perform some additional steps.
If you have already launched the QABrowser and you are asked for a passkey then
you can enter the following passkey: 0000. With some hardware the handheld might
ask for the passkey again (and again), then you can do one of the following:
1.
Enter the passkey (0000) again, and again (will usually work after five times).
2.
Cancel after it asks for the passkey the second time, cancel the next window (
Connecting...), and then you will be presented with the Bluetooth device list again.
This time your meter will have a key next to it and it will work properly.
3.
Quit the QABrowser (by for instance a soft reset) and add the meter as a trusted
device. It is recommended that you do this before you launch the QABrowser after
having used the meter with Bluetooth and another device (handheld/PC).
