The IDM Bluetooth image scanner provides several radio link modes to communicate with most host devices. When the
Bluetooth-enabled host device is not available, it can work with the smart cradle in PAIR mode (one to one connection) or
PICO mode (multiple connections) to provide a plug-and-play cordless migration of your existing non-Bluetooth-enabled IT
assets. Moreover, you are also able to use the scanner to work with Bluetooth-enabled host devices via SPP master/slave
modes and HID mode.
After losing the radio link, the scanner is capable of resuming the radio connection automatically while it returns to the
communication coverage. But please note that this feature is not available in SPP slave mode. If you would like to change
the radio link mode, you have to scan the “Uninstall” command to revert the scanner to uninstall state.
PAIR Mode – 1 scanner connected to one cradle
If the Bluetooth device is not available in your existing system, this is the simplest plug-and-play solution. In this mode, one
scanner can only work with one smart cradle. The smart cradle not only provides the Bluetooth radio link with the scanner,
but also offers the legacy cabled interfaces to the host device, including USB HID, USB COM, PS/2(DOS/V) Keyboard
Wedge and RS232 Serial.
PICO Mode – up to 7 scanners connected to one cradle
Reference Manual
For the requirement of multiple connections, up to 7 scanners can be connected to one smart cradle concurrently. If you
would like to un-pair all paired scanners and smart cradle, you can simply press and hold the paging/reset button of the
smart cradle for over 5 seconds. If you just want to un-pair part of the paired scanners, please take those paired scanners to
scan the “Uninstall” command one by one.
HID Mode –HID communication directly to Bluetooth host without cradle
Through the most helpful HID service, the scanner can work like a Bluetooth keyboard. In this mode, the scanner is
discoverable by the radio connection request issued by a remote host device. For security purpose, you will be requested to
input the PIN Code to establish the Bluetooth connection in most time.
SPP Master/Slave Mode– Serial communication directly to Bluetooth host without cradle
Through the standard SPP service, the scanner can work like a serial input device. In SPP master mode, the scanner
initiates the radio connection request to a remote slave device. In SPP slave mode, the scanner is discoverable by the radio
connection request issued by a remote master device.
Ensure the battery is fully charged. You may refer to the section of Preparations before Using for details.
Please choose your desired interface cable, then plug it into the host interface port of the smart cradle and connect it to
the host device.
Turn on the power of your host device.
Please note that the scanner has been pre-paired already, if the scanner is shipped together with the smart cradle. You
will see the link indicator of scanner gives 1 blue blink per 2.5 seconds and the middle indicator of smart cradle turns
steady blue. If the scanner and smart cradle just give alternating red and green blinks (in “Uninstall” state), please
follow steps 5-6 to establish the connection between the scanner and the smart cradle.
Scan “PAIR mode” command. The status indicator of scanner will turn steady red.

The IDM BT bar code commands are specially designed
Proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the IDM
BT internal programming parameters. There are System Command, Family Codeand Option Codefor
programming purpose.
Each programmable family and bar code command label is
listed on the same page with major system commands. The
detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are
printed on facing or following pages. You can read the
explanation and set the IDM BT concurrently.
A supplemental bar code command menu incorporates the
bar code command labels of System Command and Option
Code. As you set the IDM, open the bar code command
menu to find the option code page. You may scan the desired
family code and option code to set IDM. If you want to
change the programming family for multiple settings, you
need only turn over the programming page to find next
desired programming family.

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands
represented by “0–9”, “A–F” and finishing selection (FIN).
For most setting, you must select at least one option code
following the family code selection to set the desired
parameter for the selected programming family.
As you scan the bar code command to select the desired
parameters, information about the final selected parameters
represented by the bar code commands are stored in the
IDM’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory.
If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or
non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You
need not re-program the IDM BT if you want to keep the
existing configurations in the next power on.
The programming procedures of IDM BT are designed as
simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming
families take the Single ScanSelection programming
procedure. But several programming families have more
complex and flexible programmable options, and you must
take Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling Scan Selection or Dual Level Selection to complete their programming
procedures. Each kind of programming procedure is listed
in the following pages for your reference. Please give
careful attention to become familiar with each programming
procedure.

When using USB mode, field disturbances in frequency ranges of
• 16 MHz +/- 1 MHz
• 32 MHz +/- 1 MHz
• 48 MHz +/- 1 MHz
• 64 MHz +/- 1 MHz
• 120 to 150 MHz
can reduce the immunity of IDM160BT. This is only valid while using USB mode. After a possible disturbance, the scanner automatically re-connects with its base station.
Codes that were scanned in the meantime are stored in the internal scanner memory. After the radio connection is re-established, buffered codes will be automatically
transmitted to the host.
If your application is known, you may select those known symbologies only to increase the reading speed and decrease the possibility of reading error. Furthermore, to add
the “Symbology ID” into the transmitted data is also helpful to identify the specific symbology.

Intermessage Delay is a time delay between messages output by IDM. Increasing this delay will help host applications process the incoming data on time.
Intercharacter Delay is a time delay between data characters output by IDM. These two parameters are used to synchronize data communication when : 1) the data
transmission speed is too fast, characters may be skipped; 2) multitasking operation system or host computers in a network may slow down the keyboard handling; 3)
various notebook or desktop PC systems require different timing parameter settings. Please always add one extra unit as safety margin when adjusting these two
parameters.
Interfunction Delay is a time delay between the transmission of each segment of the message string.
Intermessage Delay, Intercharacter Delay and Interfunction Delay cannot be only worked under SPP and HID modes.

Serial Response Time-out
When the RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option is selected, the RTS (request to send) and CTS (clear to send) signals will be issued before normal data
communication. This option is very helpful to ensure the reliability of data communication.
When the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking option is selected, the IDM BT waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not acknowledge) from the host computer after each
data transmission. If the NAK is received, IDM will re-send the data until receiving ACK.
The Serial Response Time-out is a pre-defined delay time for IDM BT to wait for handshaking, acknowledgment or non-acknowledgment from the host computer.

Operation Mode
Trigger Mode (Low Power Triggering) The scanner goes into standby state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger to turn on the light source of the
scanner before scanning the bar code.
Presentation Mode (Auto Detection) Presentation mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. The light source is off until the scanner detects an image which is
similar to a barcode. Then the light source turns on automatically to read the bar code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work
properly. You can choose different level of “Presentation Sensitivity” to meet your application (Please refer to the setting of “ Presentation Sensitivity”).

The Light Source On Time is a pre-defined light source time out counter for Alternative Mode, Presentation Mode and Level Mode. The scanner keeps the light source on
till the pre-defined light source on time is up. You can adjust this parameter to meet your own application requirement.
The Presentation Mode is referred to as “hands free” mode. The hands free mode will be automatically changed to manual trigger mode when you press the trigger. You
can remain the scanner in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out duration is up (if there’s no any trigger operation), the imager will
revert to the original hands free mode.
The Time Delay to Low Power Trigger sets the time for scanner to enter low power trigger mode after any scanning activity.

Out-of-range Scanning when radio link is built between the scanner and remote host device, the scanner will transmit each scanned data right after scanning the barcode
data. However, the scanner is preset for unable to scan any barcode data when it loses the radio connection. You can enable the Out-of-range Scanning function to
continue scanning barcode data into memory buffer until radio link resumed.
The Link Supervision Time-out is a pre-defined radio link supervision timeout setting. The scanner will supervise the radio link status every preset seconds.
The Sleep Time-out Control can be set under radio connection or disconnection state. If the scanner is not used within the preset time-out duration, it will automatically
enter “Sleep State” for power saving purpose. You are able to disable this function by setting the time-out duration to “0”.
