Operation
7.1
First use of the app
Before the meter can work with the app, make sure that Bluetooth is activated on the smartphone
as well as on the PCE instrument. Furthermore, the access permissions for location and memory
must be granted. These are used exclusively to search for Bluetooth devices in the direct vicinity
and to save the measurement data to the smartphone as PDF and CSV files. The permissions
can be granted, depending on the device, via
Settings -> Apps -> PCE-555BT -> Permissions
.
After the access permissions have been granted, the app can be used to its full extent. On Apple
smartphones, the app settings can be found under
Settings -> PCE-555BT.

Connect to the meter
After starting the app, a Bluetooth connection to the meter can be established. It must be ensured
that the smartphone and the meter are not more than 5 m apart. To establish the connection,
navigate to the corresponding menu by tapping on "
Connection
" in the main menu. Bluetooth
connections can be managed under "
Connection
". To establish a connection, a suitable meter
must be searched for. This can be initiated by tapping on the "
SEARCH DEVICE
" button. The
devices found are then displayed in a list, see figure.
