Turn on the RFID reader by pressing and holding the power
button for two seconds (Figure 2).
When the RFID reader has powered up, it will beep twice
and both the device status LED and RFID status LED will
flash green two times (Figure 2). The device status LED
will then flash green and magenta indicating the RFID
reader is in Bluetooth connectable mode.
Create a Bluetooth partnership:

While the RFID reader is in Bluetooth connectable mode
(flashing magenta), press and release the power button to
place the device in Bluetooth discoverable mode.
The device status LED flashes blue during Bluetooth discoverable
mode to indicate the RFID reader is waiting for a Bluetooth physical
connection to be established. The device will return to the previous
mode if no connection is established within the discovery time-out
(60 seconds), or will indicate a physical connection if a Bluetooth
connection is established.
