REV 7.5.1 / PL-INSTL-TREECOM-EN

Measuring signal quality with NFC

1. The incoming signal quality from a "ROOT" must be measured at a "LEAF" device, using the Prolon Focus app on a mobile device with

NFC capabilities.

2. A measurement only becomes possible on a ''LEAF'' device, once it has established a connection with its "ROOT" module.

3. Measuring a "ROOT" module using NFC will not yield signal quality, but rather number of associated "LEAF" modules it is able to

communicate with.

4. To use this feature, the NFC function must first be enabled on the mobile device.

5. The NFC reading may take a few seconds to display.

Note: We recommend that you remove any casing from your mobile device if you are experiencing trouble connecting.
