 In most cases, it's also possible to re-enable Bluetooth after disabling. For example by using a VE.Direct cable. The only exception is the Lithium Smart batteries: once Bluetooth is disabled on them, it is disabled forever.
-Here is how to disable Bluetooth: First complete your connection; then go to the **Product info** page. To access that page, click the button on the upper right. For some products, it will be the settings icon: {{:ve.direct:wrench.png?nolink|}}. After opening that menu press {{:victronconnect:vc4_ic_more.png?nolink|}}, and click **Product info**.

 If the product supports turning Bluetooth off, you will see the field "Bluetooth" with a switch button next to the text "Bluetooth enabled". Toggle the switch to off, the button will turn from light-blue to grey and a dialogue will be displayed to confirm your action. If you choose to "Cancel" the change Bluetooth will remain on and the switch button and text will return the "Bluetooth enabled" position.
-For **most** of our products, Bluetooth can be re-enabled (see below how to re-enabled it), but for our Lithium Smart batteries this change is **__permanent__** and you'll be asked to enter a confirmation code displayed in the dialogue; if you are sure that you want to permanently disable Bluetooth just enter the code displayed and choose "Ok".
+Since for our Lithium Smart batteries this change is permanent, the app will ask for a confirmation code displayed in the dialogue; if you are sure that you want to permanently disable Bluetooth just enter the code displayed and choose "Ok". This is to make sure Bluetooth is not disabled accidentally by a few button presses.
