Using NFC (Near Field Communications)

The TSC510 controller has an NFC (Near Field Communications) antenna and module placed underneath the camera / camera flash on the back of the device.

The NFC antenna is meant for very short range radio communications with other NFC devices. The range is up to 4 cm (1.6 inches).

NFC in the TSC510 controller is used for automatically pairing to a Bluetooth device, accessing technical information like radio channels, and other tasks.

Trimble NFC systems do not support point of sale protocols.

To use NFC:

1. Access the section of the application software that supports NFC.

2. Align the TSC510 controller NFC antenna (indicated by this icon which is located around the camera) with the NFC antenna in the other device. Make sure the antennas are less than 4 cm apart and are approximately parallel to each other. If a connection does not occur, try holding the devices closer together.

3. Follow the instructions in the application software.

Trimble NFC systems conform with international standards and should work with non-Trimble devices. However, it is the application software that dictates the interactions. The application decides what to do with the transmitted data.
