will show up as a keyboard with the device name shown

in the following format: DIGIT3v1.3.0 ABCD where

v1.3.0 represents the version and ABCD represents the

last 4 characters of the Bluetooth Mac address. Once

iPod or iPhone, press the following sequence:

tablet or computer. With the DIGIT III powered on, press

and hold the power button for six seconds. After two

seconds, the DIGIT III will appear to power down.

the DIGIT III to pair again with the desired host

computer.

MODES

The DIGIT III has 6 MODES which define up to 6 different

signals that are sent when a button is pressed. Many of

these signals are simply keyboard characters.

To change the operational MODE, press and hold the

MODE button for the number of times the red LED

blinks corresponding to the MODE number. For

example, hold the MODE button for 4 blinks for MODE

4. As feedback both the red and blue LED will blink the

number of times for the MODE number selected.

The DIGIT III will remember the configured mode

through power-up cycles.
