Bluetooth Interactions - Motorola MTP8500Ex User Manual

You can use Bluetooth to:
• Connect the radio with wireless accessories, for example a headset, which gives you a greater
freedom of movement and increases your work comfort. Also, wireless accessories allow
performing the same activities in several ways. For example, you can change the volume level
either in the headset or on the radio.
• Send and receive files via the OPP.
• Make your radio discoverable indoors to Bluetooth beacons.
• Allow radio collaboration with various Bluetooth sensors or data capture devices for example,
biometric sensor, bar code scanner, or firearm device.
• Increase connectivity with secure packet data services between the radio and a Data device or a
Smartphone running appropriate applications.
• Enable radio control via a Data device.
The radio supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Bluetooth 4.0, and Bluetooth Smart (BTLE). Secure Simple
Pairing, one of its features, ensures high level of security while pairing devices and thus protects you
against recording and passive eavesdropping.
One radio can be connected with up to seven devices at the same time.
NOTICE: Bluetooth Audio and Object Push, Bluetooth Connectivity, Bluetooth Radio Control,
Bluetooth Smart Proximity Pairing, and Bluetooth Smart Ready are paid features.

Bluetooth Interactions

The Bluetooth feature interacts differently with other features and situations of the radio.
The following features and situations limit the use of Bluetooth:
Covert Mode
The radio cannot enter Discoverable Mode while in the Covert Mode as Covert Mode has a higher
priority.
Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI), Repeater Mode
Bluetooth does not work in the Transmit Inhibit Mode nor in the Repeater Mode. When the radio
enters one of those modes while Bluetooth is enabled, all remote devices are disconnected and
Bluetooth is disabled. After leaving the TXI or the Repeater Mode, Bluetooth is enabled again (if it
was previously turned on).
Wired Audio Accessories
Wired audio accessories have a higher priority than Bluetooth audio accessories. If both types of
devices are connected to the radio, it disconnects the Bluetooth audio device. When a wired audio
device is already connected to the radio, scanning for Bluetooth audio devices is disabled.
5.15.2
Discoverable Mode
When the radio is in the Discoverable Mode, it is visible to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Also, it
accepts connection requests from other devices attempting;
• to send files to your radio,
• to establish a DUN connection,
• or to start a remote control or AT Command session.
If enabled, the following item appears in the radio menu: Discoverable (Menu → Setup → Bluetooth
→ Discoverable). The radio remains discoverable for the amount of time configured.
