Pairing with the Host Device
Pairing creates a bond between a Bluetooth device and a host device. A host
device can be either a Windows-based computer or an Android device
(tablet, phone, or min i-PC).
The BTH-1208LS must be paired with the host device before it can establish
a wire less connection and transmit acquired data to the device. A BTH-
1208LS only has to be paired once with the same host device.
The BTH-1208LS can be paired or connected when powered by batteries
(standard or rechargeable) or by an e xternal USB power supply.
The BTH-1208LS cannot be paired when powered by a USB host device.
