Chapter 7 Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) 
radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band 
(802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) 
communication and low power consumption. 
MC9500-Ks with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with...

The Bluetooth radio in this MC9500-K operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 
2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to 
obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space. 
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This 
allows...

Bluetooth Configuration
By default, the MC9500-K is configured to using the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack. Refer to the MC9500-K 
Mobile Computer Integrator Guide, Appendix B, for information on switching to the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
If the MC9500-K is configured to use the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack, the Bluetooth icon appears at the 
bottom right corner of the Today screen. If the Microsoft Bluetooth stack is configured, the Bluetooth icon does not 
appear.

Discovering Bluetooth Device(s)
The MC9500-K can receive information from discovered devices without bonding. However, once bonded, the 
MC9500-K and a bonded device exchange information automatically when you turn the Bluetooth radio on. See 
Bonding with Discovered Device(s) on page 7-34 for more information.
To find Bluetooth devices in the area:
1.Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
2.Ensure that the Bluetooth device to discover is...
