Presentation
The Tinyom and the HelyomBT are Bluetooth laser scanner, the
Tinyom have the distinctive feature of being hand free. They
communicate with any device equipped with a Bluetooth module.
The Tinyom and the HelyomBT work in the same manner except for
the triggering. In the following documentation, TXcom reader means
that the feature applies for both units.
Only SPP profile (Serial Port Profile) is supported. This profile allows
you to establish a serial link between two Bluetooth devices.
The Bluetooth device must be a PC (BALADYOM, ....), a tablet PC, a
PDA (PREMIOM, ....), a printer.
Depending on the device Operating System, TXcom reader will operate
in master mode or in slave mode.
Tinyom HelyomBT

6
TinyomSet software is a utility to set up and upgrade the Tinyom, and
HelyomSet the equivalent for the HelyomBT.ComClavXP, ComClavCE
software are utilities compatible for both units.
TinyomSet and HelyomSet are programming toolsof the Tinyom and
the HelyomBT and also tools to create initialization files which will be
used by Conclav software.
ComClavXP and ComClavCE are keyboard emulation which also make it
possible to initialize TXcom reader.
Using TXcom reader
Pairing
To pair TXcom reader to a Bluetooth device
In master mode
Read the bar code label containing the Bluetooth Device Address
of the remote device with the TXcom reader.
Label Format
code 128
BDA Address {FNC3}aabbccddeeff{FNC3}
Where
aa hexadecimal value of the first byte of the BDA address
bb hexadecimal value of the second byte of the BDA address
....
ff hexadecimal value of the last byte of the BDA address
When the TXcom reader is put on the charger, it switches to slave
mode.
You need to pair it before using it.

TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE

In slave mode
Read the bar code hereafter with the TXcom reader and activate
the Bluetooth device discovery from the remote device to find
the TXcom reader and connect it to the Bluetooth device.
Slave Mode
The Tinyom BDA address is located under the Tinyom, near the
fastener.
The HelyomBT BDA address is located behind the HelyomBT
laser window.
Creating aSPP connection
Install on your PC a Bluetooth Software, before plug-in Bluetooth
device.
When the installation is completed, proceed as follows:
Master mode
1.Check your Bluetooth device address
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Bluetooth
Configuration / Hardware Tab

8
2.Print a bar code containing the BDA address of the device.
See Label format on page 6 and see BDAprint software on page 50
3.In Bluetooth properties, unitck Secure Connection
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Bluetooth
Configuration / Client application / Proprieties button
4.Scan the BDA label with TXcom reader.
Slave mode
1.Open the Bluetooth serial port.
2.Search for Bluetooth device.
Start / Programs / My Bluetooth Places / Bluetooth Menu
/ Search for device Option

3.Connect the Bluetooth device to TXcom reader.
Starting / Turning off
Starting
For the Tinyom,press lightly on the touch sensor during one second.
For the HelyomBT,press the trigger button during 1 second.
Turn off
The TXcom reader turns off:
•Automatically after a configurable delay without activity,
this delay is set to 1 hour by default,
•By a long touch of roughly 2 seconds on the sensor when the
long touch triggering mode is set to ON/OFF (See Trigger
setting on page 21),
•For the Tinyom, by a long touch greater then 7 seconds and
after that the 3 LED green, red, blue flash briefly.
Operating
The laser reading is triggered by the activation of the touch sensor or
the motion sensor for the Tinyom, by the trigger button for the
HelyomBT or by radio for both.
Read could be one-shot mode or burst mode.
1.Start the laser scanner.
2.Aim the laser window on the bar code label to read.
Hold the laser scanner at a slight angle to the bar code, other than
perpendicular.

10
3.Start scanning by one of the following modes:
One shot mode
Default mode.
•By the touch sensor or the trigger button
or
•By the motion sensor
This one detects a preset movement (wrist in stable position,
then movement from left to right or vice versa, then return in
stable position, then the laser beam starts).
In this mode, once the beam is on, it remains on without any user
action until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code. To make the
next read, it is necessary to start the laser once again.
Hold mode

TINYOM / HELYOMBT UTILITIES USER GUIDE
11
Default mode.
By a long press until a bar code read.
In this mode, to keep the beam on, the user should press the touch
sensor or the button until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code. To
make the next read, it is necessary to start the laser once again.
Burst mode
Default mode.
By a long press of roughly one second on the touch sensor or the
trigger button.
In this mode, once the beam is on, it remains on without any user
action until that the TXcom reader reads a bar code and starts
automatically the beam for the next read after a configurable delay.
Charging the Battery
The battery must be charged between -20°C and +45°C.
Please refer to the Quick Guide provided with the reader.
Installing the Hand strap (TINYOM)
Please refer to the Quick Guide provided with the reader.

Once the TXcom reader paired to the Bluetooth device, select the
virtual port used by the Bluetooth connection then click on Connect
button to establish connection. Data will be displayed after a while in
Summary tab.
Summary
In Summary tab, basic data are displayed (BDA address, TXcom
reader name, Bar code enabled, firmware version, and statistics since

General Settings
Radio
TXcom reader is compatible with Bluetooth Class I and Class II. By
default, it is set to Class I but it is possible to change it through Max
Transmission parameter.
When At exit of the charger switch on slave mode
parameter is ticked, if the TXcom reader is used in master mode, the
user should scan the pairing label after each charge, this protect from
undesired connection if the TXcom reader change frequently from a
Bluetooth device to another. On the other hand, if the TXcom reader
is paired with a fix Bluetooth device, it is possible to untick this

parameter, TXcom reader will try to connect to the last device with
which it was connected from charger exit.
Transmission mode
With acknowledgment
After a bar code read, the TXcom reader sounds a good read
beep and sends the bar code. It waits for acknowledgment during
TimeOut delay in seconds. When it receives the acknowledgment,
the TXcom reader sounds agood transmission beep and the
green LED flashes fast. If it doesn’t receive the
acknowledgment, the TXcom reader tries to send once again the
bar code. When the number of retry defined by Retry is
exceeded, the TXcom reader sounds 3 beeps and the red LED
flashes fast.
This mode allows indicating to the user a transmission problem
between the TXcom reader and the remote Bluetooth device.
Without acknowledgment
The TXcom reader sends a bar code. The TXcom reader sounds 2
beeps and the green Led flashes fast.
In this mode, there’s no control of the good transmission of the
bar code to the Bluetooth device.
We recommend to use acknowledge mode to secure communication
between TXcom reader and Bluetooth device.

Bar code Add-Ons
Type of code read prefix and suffix can be transmitted with the bar
code.
Type of Code Read
The type of code read can be sent with the bar code. This character
(hexadecimal ASCII) when sent, is located in front of the bar code.
By default, no prefix is sent.
For each type of code enter the hexadecimal ASCII value of the
character to add.
