A method, a personal area network device operating as a slave, and a short range communications device operating as a slave are disclosed. A data storagemay store at least one protocol-specific channel criterion for a connection with a master short range communication device. A short range transceivermay execute a preliminary device scan of a scanning set of communication channels for radio frequency energy. A processormay decide to execute a full device scan based in part on the protocol-specific channel criterion.
