connect the Stick Reader to the PC within a few simple steps.
Turn on the Stick Reader. Go to ‘My Bluetooth Places’ on ‘My Computer’ and right
click on the shortcut for the Stick Reader. The Shortcut should look something like
the icon shown below.
From the menu, choose to ‘Connect’. You may be prompted to enter the Bluetooth
‘Passkey’ again, if so enter 1111, when completed the Stick Reader will be connected.
Use this method each time you wish to connect the Stick Reader to a PC.
Make a note of the com port number the PC has used to establish Bluetooth
connection. This will be required when connecting software.
Continue to follow the instructions and at the ‘Bluetooth Service Selection’ screen
make sure that the ‘AT Serial’ option is selected.
After selecting next to continue a window will pop up to confirm that a shortcut for the
device has been created in ‘My Bluetooth Places’.
The ‘Bluetooth Setup Wizard Completion’ Page will confirm completion of the
Bluetooth setup.
The Stick Reader will now be connected to the PC via Bluetooth. When attempting
to connect the Stick Reader again use the method detailed in the ‘Connecting via
Bluetooth’ section below.
