When you setup the advertising parameters, you likely specify advertising interval and timeout:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ble_gap_adv_params_t adv_params;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adv_params.interval    = NON_CONNECTABLE_ADV_INTERVAL;

adv_params.timeout     = APP_CFG_NON_CONN_ADV_TIMEOUT;

err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_start(&amp;amp;adv_params);
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In result, after the defined interval you get the advertising timeout. You can restart it again if you want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure why you get disconnected - can be a bad sw on either side or anything hw related like a bad antenna, noisy environment etc&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
