Bluetooth Device Search Duration

(Radio Wide, Bluetooth)

Selects the amount of time that, once activated, the radio will search (known as "inquiry mode") for nearby COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) Bluetooth devices before the process times out. This process is radio-user activated with a Bluetooth Inquiry On/Off button-press, or a Bluetooth Inquiry On/Off menu-selection. During this process, inquiries are sent out and nearby Bluetooth devices in "discoverable mode" (listening for these inquiries) will respond with their address, device name, and all the necessary information required for pairing and connection (see also Bluetooth Radio Visibility Duration). This selection applies on a radio-wide basis. Time is in seconds.

This process is only used when pairing with COTS Bluetooth devices; it is not used by LF MPP (Low Frequency Motorola Proprietary Pairing) only devices such as the mission critical wireless earpiece.

Examples of COTS Bluetooth devices include: headsets, barcode readers, environmental sensors, cameras, and finger print readers.

The radio is still able to be paired and connected to other Bluetooth devices while device inquiry is ongoing.

When the Bluetooth Enable field is "Enabled", and

when the Bluetooth Pairing Type field is set to "Standard" or "LF MPP & Standard", and

when the radio is not LTE Broadband capable, and

when the radio is model / option capable.
