Bluetooth Profiles Explained

Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with an Android or Jo’s host device. The KDC only transmits data to the host device.
Allows two-way Bluetooth communication. The KDC transmits data to the host device and the host can transmit data back to the KDC.
Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with a Windows PC. The KDC only transmits data to the Windows PC.
HID inputs data directly into an application. SPP requires the KOAMTAC KTSync app or integration of the KOAMTAC SDK to input data into an application.

Pairing & Connecting

1. Navigate to the Bluetooth setting on the host PC, Mac, Smartphone, or Tablet.
2. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on the host device and search for devices.
3. Using the KDC, scan the pairing barcode that corresponds to your desired Bluetooth profile. If you are unsure which Bluetooth profile is right for you, please refer to the previous panel.
4. Check the list of available Bluetooth devices on your host device. In iOS, the application will need to search devices.
5. From the list, select the KDC80 listed by serial number in brackets that match the serial number found on the back of the KDC80.
6. In HID Mode, KDC80 Is ready to use.
7. To complete the connection in SPP Mode, launch KTSync or your application and select KDC80 to connect.

Pairing via NFC (Android Only)

This feature applies only to Android host devices and is available for HID or SPP pairing profiles only.

1. The default connection mode is SPP. To pair in SPP mode, approach the NFC antenna area on the back of the host device with the KDC to complete pairing.
2. If HID mode is preferred, scan the HID Mode barcode first, then approach the NFC antenna area on the back of the host device with the KDC to complete pairing.

Using Keyboard Wedge

Keyboard wedge allows you to use your KDC as a keyboard. The HID profile works as a keyboard wedge by default. When using SPP, KTSync provides a keyboard wedge function when the KTSync keyboard is enabled. Please refer to the KDC Reference Manual for detailed instructions to enable KTSync Keyboard.

1. Ensure that the KDC is connected to the host using the HID profile or the KDC is connected via the KTSync keyboard using SPP.
2. Open any application on the host device that contains a text field you want to populate.
3. Tap the text field in the application.
4. Scan any barcode with the KDC.
5. The barcode data will then populate in the text field.
