Pairing & Connecting

Navigate to the Bluetooth setting on the host PC, Mac, Smartphone, or Tablet.
Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on the host device and search for devices.
Using the KDC, scan the pairing barcode that corresponds to your desired Bluetooth profile. If you are unsure which Bluetooth profile is right for you, please refer to the previous panel.
Check the list of available Bluetooth devices on your host device.
From the list, select KDC475 listed by serial number in brackets that match the serial number found on the backside of the KDC475.
In HID mode, KDC475 is now ready to use.
To complete connection in SPP/MFi mode, launch KTSync or your application and select KDC475.

Pairing Barcodes

Using Keyboard Wedge

The keyboard wedge allows you to use your KDC as a keyboard. The HID profile works as a keyboard wedge by default. When using SPP or MFi, KTSync provides a
keyboard wedge function when the KTSync keyboard is enabled. Please refer to the KDC Reference Manual for detailed instructions to enable the KTSync keyboard.

Ensure that the KDC is connected to the host using the HID profile or the KDC is connected via the KTSync keyboard using SPP/MFi profiles.
Open any application on the host device that contains a text field you want to populate.
Tap the text field in the application.
Scan any barcode with the KDC.
The barcode data will then populate in the text field.
