// Open port
if ([bluetoothManager open] == NO) {
    // Fail to open port.
    return;
}

// Load Bluetooth settings
if ([bluetoothManager loadSetting] == NO) {
    // Fail to load settings.
    [bluetoothManager close];

    return;
}

// Set Bluetooth settings
// Example: set "Star Micronics" to the deviceName.
bluetoothManager.deviceName = @"Star Micronics";

// Apply Bluetooth settings
if ([bluetoothManager apply] == NO) {

    // Fail to apply settings.
    [bluetoothManager close];
