1.1. Overview

AirID is a wireless smart card reader that you can carry with you at all times. The AirID reader
communicates via a secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection with your device and makes
the inserted smart card available for cryptographical operations such as data encryption or
authentication.

AirID is powered by a rechargeable Li-Po battery. The battery is charged by plugging the AirID
into either a computer or external USB wall adapter using the USB cable provided. The LCD
display shows all setting information and status of the reader. The user-friendly jog-dial control
element helps you to navigate through the settings of the device.

Bluetooth Connected Mode Usage
