IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader 1
CHAPTER
1INTRODUCTION
The IH25 UHF RFID Reader provides Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) connected to a mobile terminal. The unit can
read and write to bar code, QR code and UHF RFID tags.
IH25 Features

2 IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader
Battery Installation
The battery is charged using a docking station and therefore is unlikely to need to
be changed once installed.
Install the battery before using the reader for the first time.
1. To access the battery compartment, remove the battery cover screws and then
the battery cover.
2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.
3. Attach the battery cover and tighten the screws. Note that the torque should
be 3.5kg.f.

IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader 3
Charging
To comply with international shipping regulations, the battery is discharged to
less than 30% of its maximum capacity. It is therefore recommended that you
fully charge the battery before using the reader for the first time.
To charge the reader, use the USB cable and AC charge adapter (Honeywell
recommended) or a docking station.
1. Attach the battery cover. Make sure that the cover clicks into place.
2. Attach the handle. Make sure that the handle clicks into place.

4 IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader
Docking Station Charge
Use the one-slot or four-slot docking station to charge IH25 and the mobile terminal.
Note: When charging, make sure the charging indicator is always on.

IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader 5
Installing/Removing Device Case and Attaching
Device
1. Insert the mobile terminal into the bracket and press it down.
Note: When installing the bracket, pay attention to the angle and pressure to avoid
damaging the product.
2. Ensure that the bracket on the bottom of the case and the socket on the reader are
clean and free from dirt or debris.
3. Align the bracket with the socket, ensuring that it is parallel, and press the two
parts together firmly until they click into place.

6 IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader
4. To remove the mobile terminal: Place the IH25 on a flat surface or hold it at the
sides with both hands, push the buckle out with your thumbs, and lift the terminal
out with your index finger.
5. To remove the bracket: Hold the handle with one hand and lift it from the side of
the bracket with the other hand.

IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader 7
Reading RFID Tags
1. Turn on power to the reader. It will beep one time.
2. Power on the mobile terminal and launch the HONRFID app. Tap on the right
top corner of Connect screen and select Barcode Way then scan the QR code on
the label attached at the bottom of the reader’s main body.
3. Press the MODE button and release within three seconds to check IH25’s
operation mode. If RFID LED lights up, IH25 works in RFID mode. If 1D/2D LED
lights up, it means IH25 works in Barcode mode. Press and hold the MODE button
for at least three seconds to switch to RFID mode.
4. Press the trigger button to read tags.
Note
•The Barcode Way is only supported by Honeywell’s mobile device. See Connect
on page 11 for other connection methods.
•Make sure to switch on the Bluetooth function and Location (Settings >
Security & location > Location) on the mobile device before connecting.
Otherwise, the connection will fail.
•RFID tags can be read when they are in range. The range (typically 0.2ft—20ft)
at which a tag can be read depends on the tag type and size and the number of
tags in the field.

8 IH25 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader
MODE Button and Status Indicators
Press the MODE button to turn on the current mode light.
Release the button within three seconds. The mode light turns
off.
Press and hold the MODE button for at least three seconds to
switch between 1D/2D and RFID mode. The current mode light
is on.
Release the button. The current mode light turns off.
Solid amber: Charging
Solid green: Fully charged
Red flash/Green and amber flash alternately: Charge error
Solid red: Battery low warning (<20% capacity remaining.)
Blue slow flash: Bluetooth disconnected (two beeps when
disconnected from PDA)
Solid blue: Bluetooth connected (one beep when
connected successfully)

CHAPTER
2HONRFID MOBILE APPLICATION
FOR ANDROID
Overview
This chapter describes the HONRFID Mobile Application for Android that can be
used with the IH25.
This application runs on Android mobile devices and demonstrates IH25
functions and tag operation. It allows the user to navigate to all screens whether
or not the device is connected to the IH25 reader and when the inventory/locate
operation is in progress.
Note: The content of this chapter is only based on the demo app showing the
basic RFID function of the IH25. Customers should eventually integrate the RFID
SDK into the source code of their own app to fully implement the function. For
information on how to get the demo app and SDK files, ask local sales staff for
help.
Using the HONRFID Mobile Application for Android
To use this application for RFID operations:
1. Ensure the HONRFID Mobile Application for Android is installed on the Android
mobile device.
2. Ensure the IH25 is in RFID mode.
3. Launch the HONRFID Mobile Application for Android on the mobile device.
