CONNECTION MODES

The 800 Series is connected to your iOS device using one of the follow-

ing modes:

1. Application Mode (MFi-SPP)

2. Basic Mode (HID)

(default)

Application Mode (MFi-SPP)

Application Mode (MFi-SPP) is used with a Scanner-enabled Application.

Scanner controls are embedded in the Application to provide better

performance, security, features, and domain-specic capabilities.

If you purchased a Scanner-enabled Application on the Apple App Store

(or through the Apple Volume Purchase Program for Business) that fea-

tures integrated support for the 800 Series, we recommend you install

that Application on your device and follow the Application instructions

to connect with the 800 Series. If the connection steps are not docu-

mented in the Application, please see pages 10-11 for the connection

steps using Application Mode (MFi-SPP).

Please visit the Socket Mobile App Store to conrm your Scanner-

enabled Application supports the 800 Series. www.socketmobile.com/

appstore

CONNECTION MODES (CONTINUED)

Basic Mode (HID) (default)

In Basic Mode (HID) the 800 Series emulates a keyboard. This is a uni-

versal connection method and will work with any application that has a

text eld. The application receives the data input from the 800 Series.

The 800 Series includes a keyboard pop-up feature so you can disable

the 800 Series and accept data input from the onscreen keyboard on the

device. Pages 8-9 provides the connection steps using Basic Mode (HID).

MAC OS devices are connected using Basic Mode (HID).

iOS devices are connected using either Application Mode (MFi-SPP)

or Basic Mode (HID), but not both together.

HID (KEYBOARD EMULATION) MODE

To pair the 800 Series with the Apple device in Basic Mode (HID):

(required only the rst time you connect).

1. Power on the 800 Series.

2. Turn Bluetooth on for the Apple device. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. A

Bluetooth Device search will begin.

An iOS device is always Discoverable when the Bluetooth menu is

active. A MAC OS device provides an option to turn Discoverable On

or Off. Conrm the MAC OS device is Discoverable.

3. Tap Socket CHS[xxxxxx] in the list of Devices found. After a few sec-

onds the “Not Paired” status will change to “Connected” and the 800

Series Blue LED will blink every 3 seconds indicating it is Connected.

The characters in brackets are the last 6 characters of the Blue-

tooth Address. The full Bluetooth address is printed in the Product

Label (remove the battery door).

You are now ready to scan barcodes, see instructions on page 14.

HID (KEYBOARD EMULATION) MODE (CONTINUED)

Keyboard Pop-up Enable

The 800 Series emulates the keyboard in Basic Mode (HID). Therefore

scanned barcode data will be input into the text eld. The following

steps show how to access the onscreen keyboard while connected to the

800 Series in Basic Mode (HID).

1. Make sure the 800 Series is connected to your Apple device in Basic

Mode (HID).

2. Open your application and place the cursor where you want to enter

data.

3. Quickly double-press the power button of the 800 Series (like double-

clicking a mouse) to open or close the onscreen keyboard. The 800

Series will beep once as conrmation.

To connect to a new Apple device, you must rst unpair the 800

Series and remove the 800 Series from the Bluetooth list in your

device. See page 13.

APPLICATION MODE (MFI-SPP)

If you are using a Scanner-enabled Application, follow their instructions

to connect with the 800 Series. Many applications include these steps

and barcodes in the set-up procedure.

If you are using an Application that connects to the 800 Series using

HID Keyboard Emulation mode, follow the instructions on pages 8-9.

Application Mode (MFi-SPP) should not be used.

If you are using the 800 Series with an iOS device and a Scanner-enabled

Application that does not provide instructions to connect with the 800

Series, please use the following steps.

1. Power on the 800 Series and scan this barcode. The 800 Series will

beep 1 times.
