This page explains how to pair a TAMobile6 handheld with an O'Neil Bluetooth printer.

  • Make sure the printer has power - either plugged in or a charged battery
  • Write down the serial number of the printer. For O’Neil printers, you have to open the printer and it’s printed either on the bottom of the printer, or on a label on the print-head encasing. Close the printer.
  • On the handheld, log into TrackAbout and go to Utilities > Config
