 3.4  Pairing with your Device

Before you can use your Wand Reader-B with your  tablet, smart phone, computer, or other 
device with Bluetooth low energy support, you need to pair them together. Start by reading 
the Mode Change Card until the reader is in PAIR mode. The display will look like:

AVID 

NNNNN

 PAIR

where 

NNNNN

 is a set of six characters that is unique to your reader.

Now, while the reader is in PAIR mode, set it up as a wireless keyboard on your device, 
following your device manufacturer's instructions. Your MiniTracker 3-B should appear as 
"AVID 

NNNNN

" on your device, where 

NNNNN

 is the same unique sequence of numbers 

and/or letters that is displayed on the reader's display. Set up your device to treat the reader 
as a US English keyboard.

 3.5  Using the Bluetooth Low Energy Interface

Once the reader is paired with your device and connected to it, put the device's cursor on its 
device screen where you want a microchip number typed in. Read a microchip with your 
reader and then the microchip number will appear on the paired device as though the number
had been typed in from a US English keyboard.

Many devices will hide their on-screen keyboard when any wireless keyboard is connected. 
Just turn off your reader when you need to access the on-screen keyboard on one of these 
devices.
