Figure 7.11.3a: App when connected to Ignis 1 through Bluetooth.

Figure 7.11.3b: App when connected to Ignis 2 through Bluetooth.

To set up Ignis through Bluetooth, ﬁrst ﬁnd Ignis’s Bluetooth address located in the

battery cover or on the back of the Hopper, then touch the corresponding name in the
