Determine if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth at the site.

If the AO has not approved the use of Bluetooth, verify Bluetooth has been disabled.

On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Verify "Disallow Bluetooth" is set.

On the Android Pie device:
1. Go to Settings >> Connected Devices >> Connection Preferences >> Bluetooth.
2. Verify this is set to "Off" and cannot be toggled to "On".

If the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth, on the Android Pie device:
1. Go to Settings >> Connected Devices.
2. Verify only approved Bluetooth-connected devices using approved profiles are listed.

If the AO has not approved the use of Bluetooth, and Bluetooth use is not disabled via an MDM managed device policy, this is a finding.

If the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth, and Bluetooth devices using unauthorized Bluetooth profiles are listed on the device under "Connected devices", this is a finding.
