2. From there, you’ll be on the ‘Devices’ screen—click ‘Refresh’ if you don't immediately see the device to connect.

3. Your APR650 device should now be visible as an available option in the app. Tap the green ‘Connected’ button beside it to establish the connection.

4. In the drop down menu, select the ID field you'd like the barcode scanner to go to in the Breedr app. For example, if you're scanning TSU barcodes, select TSU barcode.

5. Once you're connected and the ID Field is selected, click 'Close.' The bluetooth icon on Breedr will turn green when a device is connected.
