Encrypting the content of your transmissions

Since Bluetooth

TM

wireless technology 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.

Procedure

1.

Right-click on the Bluetooth

TM

wireless technology icon in the task tray, and click on [Device Properties & Security].

The [Device Properties] window will appear.

2.

Select [Link Level Enforced Security] in [Security Mode] under the [Security] tab, put a check next to [Encryption], and then click on
the [OK] button

Note

Once you have configured the security mode, a window will appear when you first make a connection to another device, prompting you to
enter a Bluetooth passkey (PIN code).
Please click on the [OK] button after you have entered the passkey.
