When the reader is configured as a MASTER it cannot be seen by other devices other than
the device it is paired to. Readers are typically used in a MASTER mode configuration when
it only needs to be paired with a single device such as a scale head, PDA, or Bluetooth
printer
The reader is equipped with a Class 1
1
Bluetooth® module and is compliant with the
Bluetooth® Serial Port Profile (SPP) and the Apple’s iPod® Accessory Protocol (iAP). The
connection can be in slave mode or in master mode.
When the module is enabled, the icon
is displayed and is blinking. Once the
communication is established between the reader and another device, if the reader is
SLAVE, the icon is the same and if the reader is MASTER, the icon is
. In both cases,
the icon stops to blink.
If you are using a PDA, it will require software (Not supplied by the manufacturer). Your
software supplier will explain how to connect the PDA.
Note 25
- We advise that to achieve successful Bluetooth® connection with your
reader, simply follow the implementation methods listed (see the following).
Note 26
- If these implementation methods are not followed, the connection may
become inconsistent, thus causing other reader related errors.
Note 27 -
When Windows 7 installs Bluetooth® drivers, it will not find the driver
for "Bluetooth® Peripheral Device" but this is normal (see picture below).
Windows cannot install this driver because it corresponds to Apple iAP service
needed to connect with iOS devices (iPhone, iPad).
For reader to PC connection, only "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link" is needed.

Operating distance of communication is around 100 m (330 ft).
