Chapter 3 Basic setting
Methods for registering new devices using the Bluetooth Utility shall now be described.
A Bluetooth mouse shall be connected and set up using [Bluetooth Settings] as an
example.
[Bluetooth Settings] provides two set-up methods: "Express Mode" and "Custom Mode."
• Express Mode
[Bluetooth Settings] will automatically detect and register services. If several
services (profiles) are supported by the device the service that has been set to the
highest priority shall be selected and registered.
Express Mode is normally recommended for device set-up.
• Custom Mode
After having been detected, the services supported by the device are displayed as
a list, from which you can select the desired function(s).
Custom Mode must be used to set up a device if, for example, you wish to use a
modem station to send a fax (because in Express Mode, the DUN profile will be
automatically selected since it has a higher priority than the FAX profile).
The differences between setting up the same device (a Bluetooth mouse) using Express
Mode and Custom Mode are described on the following pages.
