Before you get started
This User’s Guide is designed for the Android devices using the OS version 2.2 and higher
and the BlueZ Bluetooth stack. 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 Android devices includes:
1. baiMobile™3000MP Reader
2. baiMobile™Smart Card Middleware libraries–files that are provided to application
developers and are installed on your Android device when the app is installed .
3. baiMobile™Security and WatchDog files –files that enforce Bluetooth security
policies on the device.
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 smart card (CAC or PIV)
authentication
other applications that require smart card authentication.
Hardware and Software Requirements
This section describes the minimum hardware and software requirements necessary to use
your Reader with an Android device.
Hardware Requirements
The reader will not pair and connect with the Android device unless the Android device is
using the BlueZ Bluetooth stack. For a list of supported Android devices, please visit
http://www.biometricassociates.com/android-supported-devices.html

Software Requirements
The following software components are required on your Android device:
1. Android version 2.2 or higher
2. Your Android device must be provisioned –that is, it must have certain middleware
libraries and device drivers loaded in order for the baiMobile reader to function.
These middleware libraries and device drivers are integrated into an app by the
software developer and are installed when the app is downloaded and installed.
These libraries cannot be installed separately. For a list of supported Android apps,
please visit http://www.biometricassociates.com/android-supported-
applications.html or contact your administrator for provisioning instructions.
baiMobile™ Middleware Libraries
The baiMobile middleware libraries consist of files stored on your Android device that allow
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 Good Mobile Messaging.
Supported Smart Cards
The baiMobile middleware libraries are designed to support the Common Access Card
(CAC) and the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards. Support for other smart card types
may require additional development effort.

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
Android device, 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)

Powering on the Reader
The baiMobile 3000MP Reader does not have an On/Off switch or button. Your reader is
powered on by inserting your smart card into your reader. If your smart card is already
inserted in your reader, slide it out and then reinsert the card. You will notice the reader’s
Home Screen displayed on the LED panel on the back of the reader.
Power On Screen 1 –displayed for about 1.7 seconds when reader is first powered on
Power On Screen 2 –displayed for about 1.7 seconds
Power On Screen 3 –Reader will accept a Bluetooth connection request from an
application on your Android device without requiring the user to press the OK button for 5
minutes
