NOTE2: This is for use with a previously paired Bluetooth base when the barcode on the base is damaged. You can also use the BluetoothAddress.exe tool to generate a pairing barcode.

 

NOTE: To switch from one mode to another, you must remove the pairing information from both devices—the host PC/phone and the scanner.

 

3、Un-pair Bluetooth HID # #

  • Un-pair Bluetooth HID

               Un-pair the Scanner


Scan the un-pair barcode in Bluetooth transmission mode. The scanner will disconnect from the currently paired device (if any), clear the paired list, and wait for a new device to pair with. To re-pair a previously paired device, clear the paired Bluetooth information on the scanner and pair it again.
