Factory Disable of Wireless Features for the FaroArm

Overview

In many high-security environments, such as government facilities, it may be necessary to restrict data storage options and features that transfer data using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Although the typical FaroArm comes with Bluetooth and wireless Ethernet for cord-free connectivity, the factory can completely disable these features before you receive your FaroArm.

Advise your Account Manager that you would like these features disabled at the time of your order. If you do not tell your Account Manager in advance that your FaroArm should not have Bluetooth or wireless features, you may (depending on model) be able to pay a service fee and send your FaroArm back to the factory and have these features disabled. Please contact FARO Support for more information.

If you only want to turn off the Bluetooth or wireless features, see the following articles for more information.
