5.11.1 Pairing with a Bluetooth Inductive Charging Station or Bluetooth Dongle
The CR2700 reader can pair with a CRA-A271, CRA-A274 Bluetooth Inductive Charging Station, or
the Code Bluetooth Dongle. The charging station or dongle will receive data wirelessly from the
paired reader and send to the host PC via USB. It can receive commands, configurations, files, etc.
from the host and send wirelessly to the paired reader.
To pair a CR2700 reader, simply scan the unique QuickConnect Code on the front of the Charging
Station or the Bluetooth Dongle. A successful pairing is indicated by two short beeps followed by
one normal beep and one vibration. Also, the wireless indicators on both the reader and inductive
charging station will turn solid green; the dongle will turn solid blue. Alternatively, the QuickConnect
code can be generated and displayed on a host PC using the DirectConnect application.
