If your remote host is equipped with the latest Bluetooth drivers or if it is an iOS or Android device we
recommend to use “HID Mode” for quick pairing. If necessary you may use “HID Mode with Passkey”
to establish a more secure connection. If you experience problems in “HID Mode” try “HID Legacy
Mode” instead.

Once you scan one of the above commands the link indicator of the scanner will give 3 blue blinks per
2 seconds during the searching process. You have to execute the Bluetooth Discovery procedure to
find available Bluetooth devices. Select “IDMxxx”.
6.
If you use “HID Mode” go to step 9.
7.
If you use “HID Mode with Passkey” you will be requested to enter the passkey (PIN) on the remote
host. Please enter the passkey (PIN) accordingly by scanning the “Option Codes” on page 132 and
then scan “FIN (Finish)” to end the passkey entry. Continue with step 9.
8.
If you scan “HID Legacy Mode” the passkey (PIN) may be requested. Please enter “00000000”
(default setting). You will see “Keyboard on IDMxxx”. Double-click this HID service to establish the
connection between the scanner and the remote host device.
9.
The scanner will emit 4 beeps in ascending tone to indicate the radio is connected. At the same time,
the link indicator of the scanner will give 1 blue blink per 2.5 seconds to indicate the scanner is in
radio-connected state. Please note that if the scanner failed to connect to the host device within 30
seconds, the link indicator will give 3 blue blinks per 2 seconds. But the scanner is still continuing to
discover the host device for another 30 seconds before going to sleep mode. In the interim, you still
can scan “Uninstall” command to revert the scanner to uninstall state. If the scanner goes to sleep
mode, you need to press the trigger to wake up the scanner to continue the installation.
The above procedures are based on popular Windows environment. However, the installation
procedure may vary depending on different remote host devices, operating systems and the Bluetooth
drivers.
