Before you get started
This User’s Guide is designed for the Apple iPhone™ 3Gs, 4, 4s and 5 smartphones and the
Apple iPad™, 2, 3, 4 and mini tablets with iOS version 4.0 and higher. If you are using
another device, the information herein may be different or may not apply. If you have
questions, contact your network administrator or email [e-mail].
Proper Care of your baiMobile™3000MP Bluetooth Smart Card Reader
Your baiMobile™3000MP Bluetooth Smart Card Reader is an electronic product similar
to a cell phone or MP3 player that may be damaged by excessive moisture, sand, dirt and
impact. Taking proper care of your reader is essential for continued, trouble-free operation.
Welcome
The baiMobile™solution for the Apple iPhone™ and iPad™includes:
1. baiMobile™3000MP Reader
2. baiMobile™Bluetooth adapter (connects to the 30-pin adapter at the bottom of
the iPhone/iPad)
3. Apple Lightning Adapter (required for the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini)
4. baiMobile™libraries (middleware) –files that are provided to application developers
and are installed on your iPhone/iPad when the app is installed
This baiMobile 3000MP solution permits you to perform many of the same functions on a
mobile device that are available on a desktop PC including:
digitally sign and decrypt emails and documents
log on to web sites and network servers that require CAC or PIV authentication
other applications that require CAC or PIV authentication.
Hardware and Software Requirements
This section describes the minimum hardware and software requirements necessary to use
your Reader with an iPhone or iPad.
Hardware Requirements
Note 1:
Your iPhone must be provisioned –that is it must have certain middleware libraries and
APIs loaded in order for the baiMobile reader to function. These middleware libraries and
APIs are integrated into an app by the software developer and are installed when the app is
downloaded and installed. The files do not exist separately. Contact your administrator for
provisioning instructions.

Note 2:
Although iPhones and iPads have a built-in Bluetooth radio, it is not deemed secure by the
US Department of Defense. The baiMobile BTA001 Bluetooth adapter must be used for all
applications that require access to the baiMobile 3000MP Reader. The reader will not
pair with the iPhone unless 1) the baiMobile Bluetooth adapter is attached to the iPhone and
2) an app is installed that incorporates our middleware libraries and APIs.
Software Requirements
The following software components are required on your iPhone or iPad:
1. iOS version 4.0 or higher
2. an app containing the baiMobile middleware libraries (check
http://www.biometricassociates.com/products/smart-card-readers/ios-supported-
apps/ for a complete list of supported applications)
baiMobile™ Middleware Libraries
The baiMobile middleware libraries consist of files stored on your iPhone™ that allow
iPhone applications and network servers to access the digital certificates and other
information stored on the Smart Card. The baiMobile middleware libraries are integrated
into various applications such as secure messaging, data at rest encryption and mobile VPN.
Supported Smart Cards
The baiMobile middleware libraries are designed to support the Common Access Card
(CAC) and the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards. Other additional middleware
libraries may be required to support other smart card types.

Accessories

Reader Basics
Reader Features
Please familiarize yourself with the features of the baiMobile 3000MP Reader.
Blue LED indicator The blue LED indicator is located on the front portion of the
reader, facing the Smart Card. It will flash when the reader’s Bluetooth radio is on
and is transmitting or receiving data.
OK Button with White LED indicator The OK button is located on the front portion
of the reader. Certain functions, such as pairing and reconnecting to the iPhone,
require an acknowledgment by the user. A white LED indicator will flash whenever an
action or acknowledgment must be performed by the user.
Removable Battery/Battery Cover The reader battery is the only component that
will need to be replaced periodically, depending on usage. The battery is rated for
600 charge-discharge cycles, or about two years of normal use. Should the battery
need replacing, remove the battery cover and replace the old battery with a new
(baiMobile approved) battery. Note: This reader uses a battery custom built for the
reader. Inserting a battery other than a baiMobile approved battery will cause
serious damage to the reader and will void its warranty.

9
LED Display The LED display is located on the rear of the reader and will display
various messages and reader status icons when the reader is powered on.
MiniUSB Charging Port The reader’s battery is charged using a charging cable and
power supply. The power cable is inserted into the miniUSB port located at the
bottom of the reader. Note that the miniUSB port is for charging only and will not
support the transfer of data.
Power consumption
The baiMobile 3000MP smart card reader includes a low-power mode. The operation of the
low power modes is complex and based on idle timeouts.
Reader firmware version 2.2.0 and higher
oFull power consumption (50-60mA)
During pairing
During each reader or card command execution duration
Each lasts a few seconds, max
oIdle Power Mode (25mA)
Lasts 8 seconds after the last command execution is completed
oLow Power Mode –connected (3.5mA)
Starts 8 seconds after the last command execution is completed
oLow Power Mode –not connected (3.5mA)
Starts immediately after booting is complete (and LCD back light is off)
Starts immediately following a disconnection from Bluetooth.
oFor any duration that the LCD back light is on, add another 30mA, but the
back light only stays on for short durations (6 seconds, or during pairing, or
while holding down the button to see version number, etc.)
To calculate the length of time the reader could continue in any one of these modes, use
this equation:
Time in hours = 600 / (mA consumption)
For instance, while connected but in Low Power Mode (3.5mA)
600 / 3.5 = 171 hours (or over 7 days)

baiMobile Bluetooth adapter
Although the iPhone and iPad have a built-in Bluetooth radio, NSA security
recommendations require that all unused Bluetooth profiles be disabled. Since this level of
system control is not available in the iPhone OS, an external Bluetooth adapter must be
used for all applications that require access to the baiMobile 3000MP Reader. NOTE: The
baiMobile 3000MP Reader will not pair with the native (built-in) Bluetooth radio on the
iPhone/iPad
The baiMobile Bluetooth adapter must be attached to the iPhone in order to:
Pair with the reader;
Use any iPhone application that requires access to the Smart Card (CAC or PIV) for
authentication or to perform cryptographic functions such as signing an email;
Use any network application or server (including secure web sites) that requires
access to the Smart Card (CAC or PIV) for authentication or to perform cryptographic
functions such as signing an email;
Insert the baiMobile Bluetooth adapter with the logo side up into the 30-pin connector at
the bottom of the iPhone as illustrated below:
