Connecting to Bluetooth accessories

The TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 data collector has embedded Bluetooth wireless technology—a short-range wireless communication technology that allows wireless data transfer and communication between devices over a distance of up to 10 meters (30 feet).

To pair the TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 data collector with a Bluetooth device, it must have a Bluetooth PIN. Some old Bluetooth devices do not require a PIN. For security, the TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 data collector cannot connect to these older devices that do not require a PIN.

You can use Bluetooth wireless technology to connect the TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 data collector to a Bluetooth headset.

To save battery, turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it. Bluetooth is off when the device is in Airplane mode.
