Introduction 

 

The  IDBlue  device  is  a  compact,  handheld  13.56  MHz  RFID  reader  that  connects  to  a  computing  device  via 

Bluetooth.  IDBlue™ has a pen form factor, making it ergonomic and easy to use.  Designed for single hand use, 

IDBlue™ allows for precision use of RFID tags. 

The IDBlue is easy to use. Just press the trigger in order to switch on the scanner and simply press it again to 

scan  a  RFiD  tag.  The  device  reads  (and  writes)  information  from  RFID  tags  at  the  tip  of  the  pen  and  then 

transfers this information to the remote host devices/terminals using Bluetooth wireless technology.   

The colours of the LED indicate the status of the device. The beeps and LED indicate the status of the scanner 
as “Good Read”, “Connected”, etc…
