Forum Post: How to use Handles in GATT_ReadCharValue

So I am following the TI BLE Stack API with a CC2540 set up as Central/Client and a CC2541 set up as Peripheral/Server (I am using SimpleBLECentral and SimpleBLEPeripheral software examples). In the Server I used SimpleProfile_SetParameter to set a value to Characteristic 5 in GATT profile and I want to read this value from my Client. I am using the sub-procedure GATT_ReadCharValue(handle, req, taskID) But when I use the handle 0x001E I get a weird string saying "Manufacturer (etc)" instead of the value I set. Am I using the wrong handle for Characteristic 5? should I use the UUID instead? what does that message "Manufacturer ..." mean? is that the Characteristic Descriptor?

Thanks !
