Enable the Bluetooth Low Energy Mode
Before pairing an OPN-2006 with the Entagged, it’s important that you load the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) defaults first:
The scanner usually comes with a “Getting Started” Sheet, with lots of barcodes on it. If it’s a newer version, there's a “Bluetooth Low Energy Mode” Barcode at the very bottom of the first page. That’s all you need to scan.
Often, however, this doesn’t work or the Getting Started sheet doesn’t have that barcode. In that case, print out the three codes on the bottom of this page, and scan them top to bottom.
After that, you can proceed with the pairing process explained in this article.
