This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device.

On the MDM console, do the following:

1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Allow Bluetooth Data Transfer" setting in the MDM console.
2. Verify the Bluetooth Data transfer is disabled.
3. Verify the policy has been assigned to all groups.

On the LG Android device:

1. Unlock the device.
2. Navigate to Settings >> Networks.
3. Verify under "Bluetooth" the following text appears: "Only headset is available by server policy".

If on the MDM console the "Allow Bluetooth Data Transfer" setting is not disabled and on the LG Android device the text "Only headset is available by server policy" is not under "Bluetooth" in "Wireless Networks", this is a finding.
