Sending Measurement Tips
All of the onboard measurement routines on the TruPoint 300 can send the answer they
generate over Bluetooth.
•Look for the blue Transfer symbol (right program key) to send the data (Figure 13)
•If you need to send another part of the solution, use the scroll arrows to place that
data in the window and then press Transfer (Figure 14)
•If the measurement routine does not present the blue Transfer key (Figure 15), press
the “=“ (equal sign) key to send the data (Figure 16)

Keyboard Tips
In this communication mode, the TruPoint 300 connects to your device as a keyboard.
This will override the on-screen keyboard and here are the ways to get it back:
Android: Install a Keyboard Manager from Google Play, such as “Quick Keyboard Switch”
and use this app to display the on-screen keyboard (Figure 17)
iOS: on the TruPoint 300, press the left program key (inside turns green) and then the +/-
key in the lower right corner. This will activate the keyboard. (Figure 18)
