====== MAC Address ======

Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48 bit MAC address. It's usually written as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. However, many user interfaces omit the colons when the MAC address needs to be entered into systems. All devices, apart from [[ios|iOS]], can see a sending device's Bluetooth MAC address.
