By default, Connect will attempt to connect to your Wi-microDig when it is launched. If you would like to disable auto-connect, turn it off by unchecking the auto-enable checkbox in the digitizer view.

To remove the Wi-microDig from the device list (even when it's not connected and enabled), click on "Remove". If you want to use it again, simply click "Refresh". If you can't (re-)connect with a Wi-microDig, it may be necessary to re-create the Outgoing serial port, in the Bluetooth settings under "More bluetooth options", in the tab "COM ports".

If you unplug then re-plug the Bluetooth adapter while Connect is running, existing Wi-microDig entries in the device list can't be enabled. Restarting Connect results in new entries in the device list of these Wi-microDigs. Remove the disabled entries that are no longer usable.
