Pairing Pairing Basics Before you can use your baiMobile 3000MP Reader, it must be securely paired with your iPhone or iPad.

This and other security measures insure that Bluetooth communications between your reader and your phone cannot be intercepted by a third party.

Your iPhone Your Reader 9. The reader is now discoverable by the iPhone and will remain in this state for about ninety (90) seconds. The LED panel now displays the last four numbers of the reader’s unique Bluetooth address. 10. On your iPhone, press Continue.
Your iPhone Your Reader 11. Your iPhone will now attempt to discover the reader. Both your reader and iPhone should be in close proximity to each other. Pairing should be done in a secure environment and not in a public area. 12. Your iPhone will now display a list of compatible Bluetooth devices that it has discovered. Compare the Bluetooth device ID# displayed on your iPhone with the device ID# displayed on your reader. If the ID numbers match, select the Bluetooth Device highlighted.
Your iPhone Your Reader 13. Next, the iPhone will display the randomly generated pairing code. Look at the code now displayed on the reader’s LED display. 14.

Your iPhone Your Reader 18. You will now see the confirmation messages below on your iPhone and your reader. Troubleshooting First, make sure that both your iPhone and reader are fully charged. Both the iPhone and the reader have defined periods of discoverability. These “windows” of discoverability are about 10 seconds on the iPhone and about 90 seconds on the Reader. If either of the discovery windows time out before the devices discover each other, pairing will fail and the process must be restarted.
PAIRING FAQ Why do I need the Bluetooth adapter when the iPhone and iPad have built-in Bluetooth? There are two primary reasons: The 3000MP Reader uses the Bluetooth serial port profile to connect to other devices. The iPhone and iPad do not support Bluetooth serial port profile connections. NSA and DISA require that all extraneous (unused) Bluetooth profiles be disabled as a security precaution. Since this level of granularity is not available in iOS 4.
