4. Scan this barcode with your Bluetooth scanner and it will pair with the iOS device.

7. You can now start scanning barcodes with the paired device.

Troubleshooting Scanner Issues:

• Scanner Not Pairing
  • Make sure the Bluetooth scanner is in MFI mode.
  • Try scanning the Pairing Barcode again.
    • If the Pairing dialog does not go away within 10 seconds or so, you will hear a double beep indicating the pairing failed. During this time the scanner will be disabled.
  • Pull the battery on the scanner and put it back in.
    • This typically resolves most pairing issues if you are unable to pair the scanner.
  • Fully Exit TracerPlus and come back in.
• The scanner will sometimes connect to another device nearby.
  • Try scanning the Pairing Barcode again on the device you want it to connect to.
  • Make sure TracerPlus has been logged out on other nearby devices, not in use.
