Process Description of Bluetooth Communication

Process Description for unpaired devices

• Enable Bluetooth on the mobile device and set the device to discoverable mode (as slave device).
• Make a measurement on selected A&D Bluetooth device such as weight scale. Upon the completion of measurement, the device (as master device) searches slave devices and initials Bluetooth communication.
• The mobile device receives the signal of the A&D Bluetooth device and prompts user to enter a PIN/passkey.
• Once the PIN is matched, the A&D Bluetooth device sends the measurement data to the mobile device using the specified format such as weight scale packet followed by the Confirmation Packet Response.
• Upon the success of connection, the two devices are paired. Then PIN code is no longer needed afterward.

Process Description for paired devices

• Enable Bluetooth on the mobile device and set the device to discoverable mode.
• Make a measurement on selected A&D Bluetooth device. Upon the completion of measurement, the A&D Bluetooth device checks its memory for previously paired address of mobile device and directly sends the measurement data to the mobile device using the specified format, followed by the Confirmation Packet Response.
