Windows 10 puts a message on the right side of the screen: Add a device, Tap to setup your OSTC3 (see win10-ostc3+bluetooth01.jpg).

Then it fails with the message: Error, Unable to open 00: etc, No device found (see win10-ostc3+bluetooth02.jpg).

 

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.

  

Tried again this time I clicked the windows message that popped up and paired the OSTC3 and it worked (as it always used to when paired).

Unpaired and tried again and it failed again but this time the progress bar reached 100% (see win10-ostc3+bluetooth03.jpg).

 

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

 

When clicking retry the device was not paired and the computer did not enter download mode.

When paired all worked well, I just did as many different tests as I could think of.
