Apple Ios - Socket 7X Quick Start Manual

Should I use HID mode or SPP mode?
The CHS supports two main kinds of Bluetooth connections: Human Interface Device (HID)
and Serial Port Profile (SPP). Check the chart below to see which mode works with your OS.
Windows Windows
OS

Apple iOS

Mobile PC
HID
SoMo only
SPP
7Xi, 7XiRx &
compatible apps
By default, the CHS is set to HID mode for Keyboard devices, which requires no
software installation. For best results, Socket highly recommends that you use
SPP mode, especially if scanning 2D barcodes.
The SPP mode instructions in this Quick Start Guide are based on Socket EZ Pair, a feature
of SocketScan 10 software. To learn how to connect by scanning a custom barcode, please
refer to the User's Guide.
To change modes, use the command barcodes in this Quick Start Guide. To learn more
about HID and SPP, please read our white paper:

Apple iOS / Mac OS X
In Bluetooth HID mode, the CHS connects to an Apple device as a keyboard type device. If
you do not have the 7Xi/7XiRx and a compatible application (see next page), use HID mode.
To pair the CHS with the Apple device: (required only the first time you connect)
1. Power on the CHS.
2. By default, the CHS is set to HID Keyboard mode. If the mode was changed, use the
Command Barcodes on page 11 to set it to HID Keyboard mode.
3. Enable Bluetooth on the Apple device. A Bluetooth device search will begin.
4. In the list of found devices, select Socket CHS 7x (for the 7X or 7XRx) or Socket 7Xi
(for the 7Xi or 7XiRx). If prompted, tap Pair.
5. After they pair and connect, the CHS will beep once to confirm the connection.
Now you are ready to scan barcodes, see instructions on page 4.
To access the onscreen keyboard while connected to the CHS:
Simultaneous use of the onscreen keyboard and barcode scanner is supported by Revision
G or later of the 7X and 7XRx and all Revisions of the 7Xi and 7XiRx.
1. Make sure the CHS is connected to your Apple device.
2. Open your application and place the cursor where you want to enter data.
3. Quickly double-press the power button of the CHS (like double-clicking a mouse) to
open or close the onscreen keyboard.
