How to Reconnect

First, let’s make sure your KDCi is still listed as a device in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

YOU’RE ALL SET!

DON’T WORRY.!

Your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch knows

your KDCi is out there but you’ll need to

pair them before they can talk.

Your KDCi can initiate reconnection in THREE ways.

Option 1!Press the <UP> button on your KDCi

Option 2!

Enable “Menu !BT Config !AutoReconnection”

Attention Experts! When the KDCi goes to sleep, it will first check to

determine if Bluetooth is disconnected; then it checks if Bluetooth was

connected before or after reset. If these conditions are met, the KDCi

tries to reconnect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 10 times.

Option 3!

If your KDCi shows as “Not

Connected”, your device can be

reconnected by pressing one button.

Scan your “Pairing” bar code

Settings

Step through one of the two

Pairing options on Page 1.

Simply press the <UP> button

on your KDCi

Make sure

Bluetooth

is ON

SDK Options

This option is enabled by adding the “UIBackgroundModes” key into the application Info.plist

and setting its value to “external-accessory”.

For more information, please see Apple’s developer documentation at the following link:

h%p://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documenta9on/iPhone/Conceptual/

iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/ManagingYourApplica9onsFlow/ManagingYourApplica9onsFlow.html#//

apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072LCH4LSW24

The external accessory framework is suspended to support communication between iOS and the

KDCi when the application is in the background or the iOS device is locked. As a result of this

feature, the KDCi has difficulty communicating with the iOS device. To avoid this, it is

recommended to use the option to enable the iOS external accessory framework to maintain

communications with the KDCi while iOS is locked or the application is in background mode

from within your iOS App.

Scanning with KTSync

Download KTSync from iTunes at http://itunes.com/app/KTSync. Open KTSync after it has

installed and it will automatically find the KDCi and connect.

Use KTSync for iOS to test the settings of your KDCi device with iOS and prove proper

functionality as you develop your App with the KoamTac iOS SDK.
