That message is prompt when your devices are not paired. When your local
BTH adapter tries to connect to the remote one it tries to automatically
pair the devices (if they are unpaired). Therefore,  Windows asks for your
permissions and puts that message box. I will write these details in the
user manual.

The progress bar status is not quite accurate when you press the retry
button. Were your devices paired? Did your dive computer device entered in
Download mode?
As I said, when the Windows prompts for your permissions, you should allow
it.

Also there are moments when the connection method will raise a timeout and
it will fail if the pairing step takes too long.

Cheers,
Claudiu
