Pairing a Device with a Single Talon
a. On the device you intend to pair with the Talon, turn
Bluetooth “on”, and keep your device on that screen.
b. Retract the anchor on the Talon by pressing the Up
button on the Indicator Panel.
c. Once the Talon is fully retracted, press and hold
the Up
button and the Down
button
simultaneously on the Indicator Panel. The Depth
Indication LEDs will begin to fl ash blue. Once
the LEDs are fl ashing, release the buttons on the
Indicator Panel. The Talon will go into Pairing Mode
for 30 seconds.
f. In order for the device and your Talon to stay
connected, Bluetooth needs to remain "on". Once
the device is paired with the Talon, the device
will connect and begin communicating with each
other. When the Talon is paired to the device
and communicating with it, the Talon app will
automatically recognize that the Talon is paired.
g. If the pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.
The Talon app can be used to control the Talon using a device
that is paired to the Talon with a Bluetooth connection. Before
pairing the device with the Talon, the Talon app should fi rst
be successfully downloaded. You can confi rm that the app was
successfully downloaded by opening it on your device. Once confi rmed, close the app to begin the pairing process.
NOTICE:
When a device is paired with the Talon,
the paired device and Talon know each other. When
a paired device and a Talon are connected they can
actively communicate with each other. In order for the
Talon App to detect the Talon, it needs to be paired and
communicating with the Talon.
NOTICE:
When the device Bluetooth is scanning for the
Talon, the Talon must be in Pairing Mode. If the Talon or
the device time out, the process on both will need to be
re-initiated.
NOTICE:
Your device will only be able to connect to a
Talon and be paired if the device Bluetooth is enabled.
Your device will only be able to pair with a Bluetooth
enabled Talon.

device.
e. Select the Talon from the list of available devices.
This will pair the Talon to the device. Once you hear
the beeps, the Talon is successfully paired.

Pairing a Device with Two Talons
In order for the Talon App to pair two Talon's to the device, the Talons fi rst need to be paired together. To learn how to pair two Talons
together, read the " Pairing Two Talons and Programming the Mounting Location" section of the Talon Manual. Once the Talons are
paired together, follow the directions for "Pairing a Device with a Single Talon". Only one Talon needs to be paired with the device where
the Talon app is installed.
