More about SRX2/SRX3 Pairing Modes

When a headset is in pairing mode it is ready to respond to any inquiries about its Bluetooth services. The inquiring device uses this response to determine if it wants to pair with the headset. Because the device is the initiator and the headset is the acceptor, a user facilitates the pairing process by putting the headset into pairing mode before initiating the connection from the device.

SRX2 and SRX3 headsets support three pairing modes.

• Low Power Pairing Mode
  Low power pairing mode is the default pairing mode for SRX2/SRX3 headsets. In this mode, a headset answers a Bluetooth device inquiry with a very low power response that transmits within a small area (a few feet or so, depending on the receiving capabilities of the inquiring device).
  Limiting the wireless transmission helps to avoid an unwanted cross pairing (a pairing with a Bluetooth address other than the target) by forcing the headset to be in close proximity to the device.
• High Power Pairing Mode
  High power pairing mode allows the headset and device to be separated by more distance because the headset’s response to inquiries is a wider transmission.
  Honeywell recommends using high power pairing only if low power pairing fails. Use this mode with care: While high power pairing mode makes it more likely that the connection succeeds, it also increases the likelihood of cross pairing.
  If the configuration parameter SrxAutoPairEnable is enabled and the configuration parameter SrxHighPowerPairingDelaySeconds is set to 0, headsets skip lower power pairing mode and enter high power mode.
• TouchConnect
  You can pair an A700 or A700x device and an SRX2 or SRX3 headset by touching them. This method essentially eliminates the chance of cross pairing and it is quicker and easier than the other methods.

Placing Headsets in Pairing Modes

Initial Headset State	SRX2/SRX3 Controls	Pairing Mode Result
Off	Press and release Power button	Low power pairing mode
On and paired	Press and release Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons	Current pairing broken and headset enters low power pairing mode
On in low power pairing mode	Press and release Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons	High power pairing mode
