How to install KoamTac KDC380

Getting started with the KDC380 is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth setup and reliable operation across your devices and systems:

• Charge the device fully before first use to maximize battery health and performance.
• Power on the scanner and enable Bluetooth on your host device (phone, tablet, or PC). Put the KDC380 into pairing mode and select it from your device’s Bluetooth list to establish a secure connection.
• If you are using Wi‑Fi, configure network settings on the scanner or via the companion app, and connect to your local network or enterprise VPN as required to enable server communication.
• Install and launch any required companion app or drivers on your host. Ensure the scanner is selected as the input device (HID mode) or that the appropriate app is listening for scans so data is captured correctly.
• Test with a variety of barcodes (1D and 2D) to verify data appears correctly in your application. For NFC, perform a quick tap test to confirm data transfer or pairing works as intended and that the read data formats align with your backend expectations.
