      Troubleshooting:

      1. Turn the scanner to bluetooth mode by pressing the USB key on top right & enable SPP mode by long pressing left arrow key. (it will indicate BT and SPP LEDs).
      2. Open AT288N Demo app and scan for new scanner.
      3. AT288 Demo App_Connect A Device

      ATID Scanners: 

      ATID scanners are not built for iOS and so their compatibility is a bit clunky, but still functional. 

      To toggle between scan mode for ATID and the on-screen keyboard please press the connection button in the top right of the scanner button panel to change for BT to USB mode. This will disconnect your scanner. To change back to scan mode press the button again until BT is solid. This process takes around 5 seconds.
