Encrypting the content of your transmissions Since BluetoothTM wireless technology is conducted wirelessly, there is always the possibility that a third party may be able to intercept your transmissions. You can use encryption to render the content indecipherable to anyone who manages to intercept it. Important  Encrypting your transmissions will still not guarantee complete security. Accordingly, please be aware that transmitting data is conducted with an element of risk for the user. Procedure 1. Right-click on the BluetoothTM wireless technology icon in the task tray, and click on [Device Properties & Security]. The [Device Properties] window will appear. 2. Select [Link Level Enforced Security] in [Security Mode] under the [Security] tab, put a check next to [Encryption], and then click on the [OK] button Note  Once you have configured the security mode, a window will appear when you first make a connection to another device, prompting you to enter a Bluetooth passkey (PIN code). Please click on the [OK] button after you have entered the passkey. Page 348

Encrypting the content of your transmissions

Since Bluetooth

wireless technology is conducted wirelessly, there is always the possibility that a third party may be able to intercept your

transmissions.

You can use encryption to render the content indecipherable to anyone who manages to intercept it.

Important



Encrypting your transmissions will still not guarantee complete security. Accordingly, please be aware that transmitting data is conducted

with an element of risk for the user.

Procedure

Right-click on the Bluetooth

wireless technology icon in the task tray, and click on [Device Properties & Security].

The [Device Properties] window will appear.

Select [Link Level Enforced Security] in [Security Mode] under the [Security] tab, put a check next to [Encryption], and then click on

the [OK] button

Note



Once you have configured the security mode, a window will appear when you first make a connection to another device, prompting you to

enter a Bluetooth passkey (PIN code).

Please click on the [OK] button after you have entered the passkey.
