1. Introduction
The MR11A7 is a Mobile UHF RFID Reader that uses Bluetooth as the communication interface. It can quickly
connect mobile devices such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc. through the HID (Human Interface
Device) interface, without installing additional device drivers, and can complete an array of operations by
integrating its Apps with the Cloud. With a streamlined contemporary styling and a fresh, simple, two color
design, it is ergonomic and easily fits in one hand. With a 1.5 meters Drop‐protection rating, it is also suitable
for outdoorsy use in various harsh environments. The MR11A7 has an 1100mAh internal battery and 2MB of
internal memory, enough for 10,000 offline scans.
1‐1. Product Features
Light and Easy to Carry
Using Bluetooth as the communication inter
f
ace, the MR11A7 avoids wiring limitations and enables users to
trans
f
er and sync data without changing their work style. Weighing in at
j
ust 70g, the product is easily held in
one hand and is shaped ergonomically.
Novel Exterior Design
The two‐color exterior design is
f
resh, simple and clean. The plastic shell is curved,
f
ashionably shaped, and in
harmony with mobile phones and tablet usage.
Industry Level Protection
The MR11A7 is a Mobile UHF RFID Reader
f
eaturing a 1.5 meters drop protection rating. It is suitable
f
or
outdoorsy use in extremely harsh environments.
High Performance Reading
The MR11A7 can read multiple UHF RFID tags at the same time. The 100 cm Read Distance also enhances its
mobility and practicality.
Excellent Compatibility
Featuring Secure Simple Paring (SSP), the MR11A7 is compatible with the various mobile phones and tablets
in the market. User simply taps on the screen to connect devices via Bluetooth HID interface while no pin‐code is
required.
Long Battery Life
The 1100mA internal lithium battery powers up to 6,000 scans on a full charge, eliminating the need
f
or
f
requent battery changes, ensuring employee efficiency.
Human Centered Design
Streamlined, simple button and light indicator design saves users
f
rom spending time fumbling. The unique light
indicator and vibrator communicates read status to the user even in noisy surroundings. A detachable hand
strap is also included, so the device may be tied to the waist or hung on the neck, making it easy to reach
f
or
anytime use, and hard to lose.

*Please refer to 5‐9‐2. Beep Time for beep length configuration.
**It can be that an obstacle between MR11A7 and host device has interfered with the
data transmission, or MR11A7 is too far away from the host device. To fix this, please get
back in effective transmission range.

1‐4‐3. Quickly Switching Between BT HID and BT SPP
When in BT HID or BT SPP mode, do the following:
1. Press and release Function Button once
2. Press and release Trigger Button once
3. Quickly repeat 1 and 2 for 5 cycles
Afterwards the LED indicators o
f
MR11A7 will be blinking in either o
f
the below 2 colors, each representing
different result:
1. Blue LED blinks 12 times ‐MR11A7 enters BT HID mode
2. Green LED blinks 12 times ‐MR11A7 enters BT SPP mode

1‐4‐4. Connecting to a PC/ Notebook
Step 1:
Press and hold the Trigger Button
f
or 2 seconds to power up MR11A7, a
f
ter that the blue
indicator LED will flash continuously. (I
f
the blue LED does not flash, it means MR11A7 is not
currently in Bluetooth Mode. Please re
f
er to Section 5‐3. Communication Interface,and
change the Communication Inter
f
ace to BT‐HID.)
Step 2:
Enter the PC/Notebook’s Bluetooth application, as per Figure 1‐3, and click Add a Device.
