Using Microsoft Bluetooth Stack with Windows Embedded Handheld
The following sections provide information on using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack with the Windows Embedded
Handheld operating system.
Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the MC92N0-G. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to
exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close
proximity.
