 /** @brief Set Default Connection Rate Parameters.
  *
- *  Set default connection rate parameters to be used for future connections.
- *  This command does not affect any existing connection.
- *  Parameters set for specific connection will always have precedence.
+ *  Configure the range of Connection Rate values that this device will
+ *  accept from a Peripheral initiating a Connection Rate Update procedure.
  *
- *  @kconfig_dep{CONFIG_BT_SHORTER_CONNECTION_INTERVALS}
+ *  The configured bounds:
+ *   - Apply only to connections established after this call.
+ *   - Are overridden on a given connection by any
+ *     @ref bt_conn_le_conn_rate_request on that connection.
+ *
+ *  @kconfig_dep{CONFIG_BT_SHORTER_CONNECTION_INTERVALS,CONFIG_BT_CENTRAL}
  *
  *  @param params Connection rate parameters.
