3.2 Computer Communication (Requires CP11 Adapter):

To communicate with a PC, you need to purchase a separate CP11 Bluetooth adapter (not included in the standard CP26 for Phone package).

Open the datasheet/download the "CH341" driver on your computer.
Insert the CP11 adapter into a computer USB port.
Press and hold the KEY button of the CP26 for one second to switch on the computer.
Open the serial port software and select the COM port of the corresponding CP11 adapter. Choose the default parameter configuration: 9600bps/8/n/1.
Wait for the CP11 adapter to actively search for the CP26 Bluetooth converter and connect. The blue light on the CP11 will be solid when connected. After connection, data interaction can occur.
