Bluetooth Pairing
Connecting your KDC using Bluetooth is made easy with the below pairing barcodes. If you are unsure which
profile is right for you, please visit www.koamtac.com for more information.
2.1 Bluetooth Profiles Explained
a. HID Profile: Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with an Android or iOS host
device. The KDC only transmits data to the host device.
b. SPP Profile: Allows two-way Bluetooth communication. The KDC transmits data to the
host device and the host device can transmit data back to the KDC.
c. HID Windows Profile: Allows one-way Bluetooth communication with Windows host
device. The KDC only transmits data to the host device.
Note:HID inputs data directly into an application. SPP requires the KOAMTAC SDK to input data into an
application. To gain access to the SDK, please complete the form here: https://www.koamtac.com/sdk/
