This Product is discontinued. See the RS3x.

To prepare your idChamp RS3 for HID (otherwise known as “keyboard mode”), follow the instructions below. Use the DIP switch table at the end of this page for reference.

1. Power off your RS3 and take it out of its enclosure by unscrewing the four screws, then lifting the lid.

2. Locate the DIP switch banks labeled “S2” and “S3” along the short edge opposite the micro-USB port.

3. Grab a paperclip or similarly shaped object (pens are NOT recommended) and flip the DIP switches up or down to match the image below. If you have problems loading the image, use the DIP switch table.
