10. Bluetooth
The Omega X3 has the ability to communicate with a computer for of programming and data retrieval without
the need to use a standard USB cable or thumb drive.
There are two (2) supported methods for connecting to a Windows based computer using standard Bluetooth
adapters. Those methods involve what are called Bluetooth stacks. These stacks provide communication to
the Omega X3. One stack is provided with your Windows installation and the other is provided by 3
rd
parties.
10.1 Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
Simply plugging in a quality Bluetooth dongle (USB adapter) will start the search for the needed drivers as
provided through Windows Update. This process can take some time to complete, patience is needed here as
the installation should not be interrupted. Once complete, a new Bluetooth ICON is added to the system tray.
To add a device to the computer is a fairly simple process, simply right click on the Bluetooth adapter and
select ‘Add Device’. Make sure that the Omega X3 display is active and then proceed with the on
-screen steps
needed to complete the process.
10.2 3
rd
Party Bluetooth stacks
Other hardware vendors may include their own implementation of the needed Bluetooth stack. Their
software will normally be installed prior to inserting the USB adapter into the computer. Note this process
usually replaces the included Windows Bluetooth stack.
Please reference the adapters installation instructions for their complete setup sequence.
Once finished with the setup process, open their software and proceed to search for and add the Omega X3.
Be sure to have the display activated prior to starting their process.
10.3 Bluetooth Pairing Code
When it comes to Bluetooth security you will be asked to provide a ‘pairing’ code. This code is normally
unique from device to device. To offer a smooth transition from device to device, Diamond has set a default
pairing code for the Omega X3. To help maintain communication with the Omega X3 this pairing code cannot
be changed.
The pairing code for the Omega X3 is: ‘0000’
