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
BlackBerry OS 7 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

8
reader. Inserting a battery other than a baiMobile approved battery will cause
serious damage to the reader and will void its warranty.
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)

9
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

10
Power On Screen 3 –Reader will accept a Bluetooth connection request from an
application on your BlackBerry OS 7 device without requiring the user to press the OK
button for 5 minutes.
Power On Screen 4 –Reader is now powered on and is “listening” for a Bluetooth
connection request from an application on your BlackBerry OS 7 device. User must first
press the OK button to accept a connection request. The reader will stay in this state for
approximately 7 days until the battery is exhausted (firmware version 2.02.00 and higher)
or until the Smart Card is removed from the Reader, whichever occurs first. If the reader
receives a connection request from the BlackBerry OS 7 device, you may be prompted to
authorize the request by pressing and releasing the 0K button on the front of the reader.
Accepting a Bluetooth connection
NSA security requirements state that the user must accept (acknowledge) all Bluetooth
connection requests from his or her mobile device.
Examples:
When a client application on the mobile device needs to establish a Bluetooth
connection to the reader to access information (certificates) residing on the Smart
Card
When a client application on the mobile device requires that the user acknowledge an
action (digital signing) involving the Smart Card
In such cases, the reader will display a message prompt such as “Auth?” and the white LED
beneath the OK button will flash repeatedly until the OK button is pressed.

11
Powering off the Reader
Your reader will automatically power off if any of the following occur:
Your smart card is removed from your reader
The reader’s battery runs out
The reader times out (a configurable setting)
When the reader is powered off, nothing will be displayed in the LED panel.
Charging the Reader
Your charging cable separates into a plug end and a mini-USB cable. You may charge your
reader using the charging cable plugged into an electrical wall outlet or use just the mini-
USB portion of the charging cable to connect between your reader and a USB port on a
computer.
It is recommended that the reader be charged whenever the battery status icon on the
reader indicates that the reader battery level is less than 20%. The reader should be
charged from an AC power source using the supplied charger and cable. A red LED on the
bottom of the reader will illuminate indicating that the reader is charging. Once the red LED
is no longer illuminated, the battery is fully charged and the charging source should then be
removed from the reader.
During charging, a red LED on the bottom of your reader will indicate that the battery is
being charged. When the red LED turns off, your reader battery is fully charged.
NOTE: Most smartphone charging cables with a mini-USB-a connector will also charge your
reader.

12

The baiMobile 3000MP Bluetooth Smart Card reader contains upgradeable firmware. The
feature extends the functionality of your Reader in the following areas:
Security Policies: Changes in security policies may require a firmware update.
OS Releases: New versions of the BlackBerry OS 7 device/ operating system may
require a firmware update.
Smart Card Types: Support for new smart card types may require a firmware

Battery Status Icons
The reader’s Battery Status Icon will display the remaining charge remaining in the reader’s
battery, as shown below:
When the battery reaches 5% charge, the Low Battery warning will be displayed. You should
charge your reader when the battery reaches about 20% - 40%, depending on your
anticipated activities what will require connectivity to your reader, such as accessing email
or another application that requires smart card authentication.

14
Inserting a CAC or PIV card
As noted above, the reader does not have a power on or off button. Inserting a smart card
into your reader will power on the reader. Removing the smart card will power off the
reader.
NOTE:When used in the Bluetooth mode, the reader’s radio functions are only enabled
when your smart card is firmly inserted into the reader as shown below.
Battery
Your reader contains a removable, rechargeable battery. This battery is a custom battery,
built specifically for the baiMobile 3000MP Reader. In the event that your reader’s battery
no longer holds a charge, please contact [e-mail] for a replacement battery.
Reader Error Massages
"NO CARD!"

15
This is displayed when the reader is powered-on without any card inserted. This can happen
if the user uses the 'OK' button to cause power-on without a card inserted or if they plug-in
the charger to the reader without the card inserted. This indication is displayed for a few
seconds before the reader will turn itself off.
"BAD CARD"
It is displayed while the reader is powering-on with a card inserted but the reader was
unable to get the card to return an ATR (Answer To Reset) after causing card Reset. This
indication is displayed for a few seconds before the reader will turn itself off.
"LOW BATT"
It is displayed during power-on if the battery is detected as having very little power
remaining. Once the reader is finished powering-on (booting), this indication is replaced
with normal LCD indicators. This indication can only be displayed as a result of the booting
self-checks. We don't quantify this threshold value in any way since it may be adjusted in
the future.

Pairing
Pairing Basics
Before you can use your baiMobile 3000MP Reader, it must be securely paired with your
BlackBerry OS 7 device. The Bluetooth pairing process involves exchanging a randomly
generated number used by both your BlackBerry OS 7 device and your reader for secure
Bluetooth communications. This and other security measures insure that Bluetooth
communications between your reader and your phone cannot be intercepted by a third
party.
The baiMobile 3000MP Reader utilizes the Secure Simple Pairing Numerical Comparison
model, which is standard in most devices that have Bluetooth version 2.1 and higher.
During pairing, a six digit number will be displayed on your BlackBerry OS 7 device screen
and on the reader’s LED display. You must compare both numbers and confirm that they
match.
