Please enable "Non-connectable mode" if you wish to reject connections from  other devices. 5.2  Encrypting the content of your transmissions Since Bluetooth communication is conducted wirelessly, there is always the possibility that a third party may be able to intercept your transmissions. You can use encryption to render the content indecipherable to anyone who manages to intercept it. Important  .Encrypting your transmissions will still not guarantee complete security.   Accordingly, please be aware that transmitting data is conducted with an   element of risk for the user.   1.  Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the task tray, and then click on [Device Properties].  The [Device Properties] window will appear. 2.

  5.4  Manually creating a virtual Bluetooth COM port In order for a PC to connect to and communicate with a Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth Utility will create a gateway for data to be exchanged between the respective devices. This gateway is known as a "port" (or "virtual COM port").  Since one virtual COM port will be allocated to each device, trouble-free communication will still be possible even if several devices are being used.  When you use the Bluetooth Utility, a virtual COM port will be automatically created on set-up; however, virtual COM ports can be created manually if so needed. 5.4.1    Clients and servers When Bluetooth communications are performed, there will always be a "client/server" relationship between the various devices. A "client" is a device that sends certain requests to another device, while a "server" is a device that provides a service on receipt of such requests from another device.    For example, when a PC issues a print command to a wireless printer, the PC functions as the client, while the printer functions as the server. When a PDA or other device attempts to receive files located on a PC by means of file transfer protocol, the PC functions as the server, while the PDA functions as the client.  Virtual Bluetooth COM ports can be created both for clients and servers.    140
 •  Bluetooth virtual COM port for a client Virtual COM port used when your device is the client, and requests are sent to another device. •  Bluetooth virtual COM port for a server Virtual COM port used when your device is the server, and requests are received from another device. 5.4.2    Creating a virtual COM port 1.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  -  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as the condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).    The final end product must be labeled           in a visible area with the following: "Contains TX FCC ID: NLFGUBTCR42M".           IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain          laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is         no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these       circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product           (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
