| [[File:App Blue Tooth Reader.jpg|200px|center]] || '''ID Tech BTMag Wireless Credit Card Reader''' - This credit card reader uses your mobile device’s Bluetooth feature to wirelessly connect the card reader and your device. This allows for greater flexibility and can solve pesky connection problems where protective cases cause jack-based card readers to not seat correctly. Available for purchase at [https://posguys.com/mobile-card-reader_68/ID-Tech-BTMag_2420/ POSGuys.com]. A micro-B USB charger (common mobile phone charger) is necessary for charging the reader and is not included. '''NOTE''': Credit card readers are non-returnable. This reader currently works only with Apple iOS mobile devices. Please ensure you have an Apple iOS device before ordering this reader.
 +
 +
'''BLUE TOOTH SETUP''': Before attempting to setup your card reader, please ensure it is fully charged. Charging is complete when the LED indicator stops flashing red.
 +
#Turn your reader on by pressing and holding the power button for up to 5 seconds. The blue indicator will begin to flash indicating the reader should be visible to your device
 +
#Go to your device settings and pair the reader “BTMag” with your device. Help with pairing can be found here
 +
#If you’re prompted to enter a password for the device, enter “0000”
 +
The reader should now show as “Connected” on your device and the LED indicator on the reader should be blue. If you have difficulties pairing, please restart or power off/on your devices and try again.
 +
 +
'''USE'''

'''Important''':
 +
*Only readers without manufacturer key-injection are compatible with GrowthZone/ChamberMaster Apps.
 +
*Card readers are not specific to a mobile OS version but the apps are. '''Please ensure the app itself is compatible with your device before purchasing a card reader'''.
 +
 +
====Pairing the VP3300BT====
 +
 +
 +
* Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, on your mobile device. You should see the little Bluetooth symbol at the top of your phone’s screen. If you don’t, go into the settings to enable it.
 +
*'''IMPORTANT''' With Android devices, the IDTech VP3300 BT must be paired with their mobile devices when NOT plugged in. It must only be using the bluetooth connection when the pairing occurs. After that, the reader can be plugged into a USB connection if desired (which would be the case if you were charging the device).
 +
*VP3300BT will stay connected to the host indefinitely (via Bluetooth) if powered via the USB cable. If the unit is operating on battery power, it will go to sleep after 20 seconds of idling, to extend battery life. To perform a transaction again, simply press down on the Bluetooth function button to re-establish the Bluetooth connection.

'''Do you have any tips on making sure my blue tooth mobile device and the VP3300BT are able to pair with each other?'''
 +
*'''Make sure the two devices are in close enough proximity to one another'''. While you wouldn’t think someone might try to pair an iPad with a keyboard if the two weren’t sitting right next to each other, it’s probably worth noting that you should make sure any devices you're trying to pair are within five feet of one other.
 +
*'''Power the devices off and back on'''. A soft reset sometimes can resolve an issue. With phones, an easy way to do this is by going into and out of airplane mode.
 +
*'''Remove old Bluetooth connections'''. If you're having trouble pairing your phone with the reader, it could be because the you phone is trying to connect to an old device. Some older devices are very simple. They just try to connect with the last thing they paired with. If a Bluetooth device was previously paired with something else, turn off that other gadget. And if you are no longer planning on using that other gadget, unpair it from your Bluetooth device to prevent future issues. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above. You can also reset Bluetooth on devices that can pair to more than one device. This clears all pairings from the device so you can start fresh. Search "reset" device name to instructions from the manufacturer.
 +
*'''Charge up both devices you're trying to pair'''. Some devices have smart power management that may turn off Bluetooth if the battery level is too low.
 +
*'''Delete a device from a phone and rediscover it'''. If your phone sees a device but isn’t receiving data from it, sometimes it helps to start from scratch. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above.
 +
*'''Move away from the Wi-Fi router'''. Another potential obstacle to successful pairing is interference from devices that use the same spectrum, such as your Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi has been designed to cope with this, but it might not be a good idea to have your devices directly on top of the router.
 +
*'''Move away from a USB 3.0 port'''. Interference from USB 3.0 is also possible. Newer laptops, for example, often have the higher-speed USB 3.0 port, so if the connection isn't happening, try pairing your Bluetooth gadgets away from the computer.
 +
*'''Make sure the devices you want to pair are designed to connect with each other'''. Whether it’s a headset, speaker, mouse, keyboard, camera or something else, your device has a specific profile that spells out what it can connect with. If you’re not sure, check the user manual.
 +
*'''Update the hardware’s firmware'''. If you’re not sure how to get the latest firmware for your hardware, check with the device manufacturer.
 +
*'''Limit data shared between devices'''. Android and Windows devices let you choose the information you share between devices. So, for instance, you can choose to share phone audio, media audio, contacts and text messages with your car. If you don't need to share all of the data, deselecting one or more of the types of information may enable the devices to pair. For Android devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the device. If there are options to select, they will appear. For Windows, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers and right click on the Bluetooth device in question. Then select the Services tab to choose which types of information to share.
 +
*'''Clear the Bluetooth cache (Android only)'''. Sometimes apps will interfere with Bluetooth operation and clearing the cache can solve the problem. Go Settings > Backup and restart > Reset network settings.
 +
 +
'''VP3300BT FAQ's'''
 +
*'''Does it matter what mobile device I use as along as the device supports bluetooth?''' You can use any device that supports bluetooth. The VP3300 works with all blue tooth devices including the BLE (BlueTooth Low Energy).
 +
*'''Is there a warranty on my VP3300BT device?'''  The warranty on the VP3300Bt is one year from the date of purchase with IDTech.  If there are hardware troubles, you should contact IDTech directly to troubleshoot.  To check the warranty status, you will need the model, or P/N and the S/N.

This reader currently works only with Apple iOS mobile devices. Please ensure you have an Apple iOS device before ordering this reader.

BLUE TOOTH SETUP: Before attempting to setup your card reader, please ensure it is fully charged. Charging is complete when the LED indicator stops flashing red.

  1. Turn your reader on by pressing and holding the power button for up to 5 seconds. The blue indicator will begin to flash indicating the reader should be visible to your device
  2. Go to your device settings and pair the reader “BTMag” with your device. Help with pairing can be found here
  3. If you’re prompted to enter a password for the device, enter “0000”

The reader should now show as “Connected” on your device and the LED indicator on the reader should be blue. If you have difficulties pairing, please restart or power off/on your devices and try again.

USE Once paired, you will be able to use the reader from the normal payment screens within the app.

  • Successful/Unsuccessful swipes are indicated on the reader by the green/red LED indicator lights and a successful swipe will show immediately in the app

Important:

  • Only readers without manufacturer key-injection are compatible with GrowthZone/ChamberMaster Apps.
  • Card readers are not specific to a mobile OS version but the apps are. Please ensure the app itself is compatible with your device before purchasing a card reader.

Pairing the VP3300BT

  • Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, on your mobile device. You should see the little Bluetooth symbol at the top of your phone’s screen. If you don’t, go into the settings to enable it.
  • IMPORTANT With Android devices, the IDTech VP3300 BT must be paired with their mobile devices when NOT plugged in. It must only be using the bluetooth connection when the pairing occurs. After that, the reader can be plugged into a USB connection if desired (which would be the case if you were charging the device).
  • VP3300BT will stay connected to the host indefinitely (via Bluetooth) if powered via the USB cable. If the unit is operating on battery power, it will go to sleep after 20 seconds of idling, to extend battery life. To perform a transaction again, simply press down on the Bluetooth function button to re-establish the Bluetooth connection.

Do you have any tips on making sure my blue tooth mobile device and the VP3300BT are able to pair with each other?

  • Make sure the two devices are in close enough proximity to one another. While you wouldn’t think someone might try to pair an iPad with a keyboard if the two weren’t sitting right next to each other, it’s probably worth noting that you should make sure any devices you're trying to pair are within five feet of one other.
  • Power the devices off and back on. A soft reset sometimes can resolve an issue. With phones, an easy way to do this is by going into and out of airplane mode.
  • Remove old Bluetooth connections. If you're having trouble pairing your phone with the reader, it could be because the you phone is trying to connect to an old device. Some older devices are very simple. They just try to connect with the last thing they paired with. If a Bluetooth device was previously paired with something else, turn off that other gadget. And if you are no longer planning on using that other gadget, unpair it from your Bluetooth device to prevent future issues. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above. You can also reset Bluetooth on devices that can pair to more than one device. This clears all pairings from the device so you can start fresh. Search "reset" device name to instructions from the manufacturer.
  • Charge up both devices you're trying to pair. Some devices have smart power management that may turn off Bluetooth if the battery level is too low.
  • Delete a device from a phone and rediscover it. If your phone sees a device but isn’t receiving data from it, sometimes it helps to start from scratch. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above.
  • Move away from the Wi-Fi router. Another potential obstacle to successful pairing is interference from devices that use the same spectrum, such as your Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi has been designed to cope with this, but it might not be a good idea to have your devices directly on top of the router.
  • Move away from a USB 3.0 port. Interference from USB 3.0 is also possible. Newer laptops, for example, often have the higher-speed USB 3.0 port, so if the connection isn't happening, try pairing your Bluetooth gadgets away from the computer.
  • Make sure the devices you want to pair are designed to connect with each other. Whether it’s a headset, speaker, mouse, keyboard, camera or something else, your device has a specific profile that spells out what it can connect with. If you’re not sure, check the user manual.
  • Update the hardware’s firmware. If you’re not sure how to get the latest firmware for your hardware, check with the device manufacturer.
  • Limit data shared between devices. Android and Windows devices let you choose the information you share between devices. So, for instance, you can choose to share phone audio, media audio, contacts and text messages with your car. If you don't need to share all of the data, deselecting one or more of the types of information may enable the devices to pair. For Android devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the device. If there are options to select, they will appear. For Windows, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers and right click on the Bluetooth device in question. Then select the Services tab to choose which types of information to share.
  • Clear the Bluetooth cache (Android only). Sometimes apps will interfere with Bluetooth operation and clearing the cache can solve the problem. Go Settings > Backup and restart > Reset network settings.

VP3300BT FAQ's

  • Does it matter what mobile device I use as along as the device supports bluetooth? You can use any device that supports bluetooth. The VP3300 works with all blue tooth devices including the BLE (BlueTooth Low Energy).
  • Is there a warranty on my VP3300BT device? The warranty on the VP3300Bt is one year from the date of purchase with IDTech. If there are hardware troubles, you should contact IDTech directly to troubleshoot. To check the warranty status, you will need the model, or P/N and the S/N.
