Link/2500 - Setup Instructions

System Requirements

• iPad (with iOS 9 or higher)
• talech Register for iPad (version 4.8.3 or higher)

Introduction

Before you begin, ensure that you meet the system requirements listed above. We also recommend fully charging your Link/2500 reader before the initial setup and pairing. The charging port is located behind a rubber flap on the right-side of the device.

Note: talech POS supports a Bluetooth connection to the Link/2500 card reader. At this time, we do not support communication to the terminal over WiFi.

Bluetooth Pairing Procedure

Begin by ensuring your Link/2500 is fully charged and powered on. (Hold the green button on the keypad to power on the Link/2500.)

1. Quickly enter 0001 on the keypad to put the Link/2500 into Bluetooth pairing mode.

2. The screen should change to "BT Pairing Required." Press F1 to pair. The Link/2500 will now become discoverable and its name will be shown on the display. The device name will appear as LK2500_XXXXXXXX (unique to each device.)

3. On your iPad, navigate to Settings > Bluetooth. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled, and look for LK2500_XXXXXXXX in the nearby devices list. Select LK2500_XXXXXXXX to pair to it. Confirm that the Bluetooth pairing PIN shown on the iPad matches the PIN shown on the Link/2500.

4. If Bluetooth pairing is successful, the Link/2500 will appear as a connected device, and a "Welcome" message will be displayed on its display.
