Bluetooth Security Tips

•     Enable Bluetooth only when you need it,
•     keep the device in non-discoverable (hidden) mode,
•     Use long and difficult to guess PIN key when pairing the device (key such as 1234 is unacceptable),
•     Reject all unexpected pairing requests,
•     Check list of paired devices from time to time to ensure there are no unknown devices on the list,
•     Update your mobile phone firmware to a latest version,
•     Enable encryption when establishing BT connection to your Computer.
