Description

The BT-105 will work with most Bluetooth-equipped MAC and PC computers. No additional software is required. It also works with most momentary switches to activate the Page Down and Page Up

functions of most document and presentation programs, such as Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint. The BT-105 can be used with one footswitch to turn pages forwards only, or with two footswitches to turn forwards and backwards.

The BT-105 also works with select apps for Apple iOS™ iPhones, iPads, and iPods, in addition to Bluetooth-equipped Android devices with apps that have been designed to be compatible with the BT-105.

The BT-105 consists of a power switch, two 3.5mm stereo jacks for footswitches, an LED indicator, and a mini-USB charging port for the internal rechargea ble battery .

Setup and Pairing

To use the BT-105 with your MAC, PC, or iPad, make sure the host computer you are using is in discovery mode. (Check the instructions that came with your computer or Bluetooth USB dongle. For iPad users, go into “Settings”, then select “Bluetooth” and make sure it is turned on). Turn on the BT-105 by pressing the red power button and holding for 1 second. The LED will blink 3 times and attempt to pair with your computer. Your host computer may require validation to accept pairing from the BT-105. If it requires a code, use 0000. I f you are presented a code to validate the BT-105, accept it.

On the iPad, under the “Devices” heading within the Bluetooth settings, you should see the BT-105 appear, either as a keyboard, or as “AirTurn” with a serial number. Touch on top of Serial Number to connect and complete the pairing process. Once connected, it will blink green once every 2 seconds.

Resetting the Pairing

To reset the pairing on the BT-105, turn it on, wait 3 seconds, press and hold the red button for 8 seconds until the LED blinks a rapid series of green and red, then release. If pairing is unsuccessful, delete the device displayed on the host computer and reset the BT-105 pairing again. Initial discovery may take up to 30 seconds (longer on some older PC and MAC computers). To delete the BT-105 from the iPad’s Bluetooth Device listing, tap the blue arrow button next to BT105’s serial number and connection status text (“Connected” or “Not Connected”), then press the “Forget this Device” button.

Note: You must reset pairing for both devices every time you

Power Ports 1&2 LED Ports 3&4 USB

change to a different host device such as using it with your desktop computer and then with your iPad.

Turning off the BT-105

Turn off the BT-105 by pressing the red button for 2-3 seconds until the LED turns red. Release and the LED will blink 3 more times while the unit shuts down. Turning power off on the host computer will automatically turn off the BT-105 after 3 minutes.

Modes

There are four modes that come ready to use on your BT-105. Modes are used to send different signals to the host computer, depending on the computer and the application being used. The default mode, (Mode 3), i s set for page turning on tablet computers such as iPads and Androids. The other most commonly used mode, (Mode 1), is for the generic use of page turning on the PC or MAC.

To change to the PC or MAC mode, (Mode1), turn off the BT-

105. Then, holding down the footswitch plugged into Port 1-2 (the jack closest to the red switch), turn on the BT-105. Release both the footswitch and power switch as soon as you see the LED blink. The LED will then blink red, then green, then red, indicating the mode has been set.

To change the mode back to the iPad mode, repeat the same procedure using the footswitch in Port 3-4 (the jack closest to the USB port). Keep the switch depressed until you see the first bli nk, then release the footswitch and power switch. You will then see one red blink, then 3 green blinks, then one final red blink . The following table shows each mode and respective signals:

Mode 1 set using switch 1 on startup (PC/MAC Mode)

Port 1 PgUp Port 3 PgDn Port 2 Left Arrow Port 4 Right Arrow

Mode 2 set using switch 1 and 3 held together

Port 1 1 Port 3 3 Port 2 2 Port 4 4

Mode 3 set using switch 3 held on startup (Default Setting – “iPad Mode”)

Port 1 Up Arrow Port 3 Dn Arrow (Prev Page) (Next Page) Port 2 Left Arrow Port 4 Right Arrow

Mode 4 set using switch 2 held on startup (cable splitter required)

Port 1 ~1 Port 3 ~3 Port 2 ~2 Port 4 ~4

iOS Virtual Keyboard

Some applications require the use of the keyboard to enter text or to interact with the application. Since the BT-105 is an external keyboard, the iPad or other iOS device by default disables its own virtual keyboard.

To activate the virtual keyboard, open any text box on the iPad. Then quickly press the power switch while the BT-105 is connected to the iPad. If you close the virtual keyboard from within the application, you can repress the power switch to activate it again. This is a toggle switch so pressing it will toggle the virtual keyboard on and off. Note that iPhones may require toggling on the keyboard for each use.

Charging

Please charge your BT-105 1-2 hours using the min-USB to USB charging cable and any USB wall power adapter, or 6 hours connected to your computer. Note some portable computers may not sufficiently charge the BT-105. Disabling the sleep setting on the computer may improve charging performance.

Your BT-105 should last 100 hours or many days on a charge depending on how much you use it. On a full charge, the LED will blink green. W hen the power is low, the LED will blink as follows:

Yellow every second = under 25% power Red every second = under 10% power
