Bluetooth GATT Service Reference
Link Loss (0x1803)
The LINK LOSS Service is instantiated as a Primary Service. There is only one instance of the Link Loss Service on a device. There is only one instance of the Alert Level characteristic in a Link Loss Service. This alert continues until one of following conditions occurs: ? An implementation specific timeout ? User interaction on this device ? A new alert level is written ? The physical link is disconnected
