BLUETOOTH:
The Simret 4000
, Printer & Pedal Pad
are equipped with Bluetooth to allow them
to communicate wirelessly at distances of up to 10 metres. New instruments are preconfigured
to automatically pair with the printer and pedal pad supplied. The user can also set SIMRET
to pair with additional devices (see
Setup Bluetooth
menu).
When the Bluetooth feature is turned ON, the instrument will pair automatically. The
instrument will decide if it needs to pair for
Brake Testing
or for
Printing
and the appropriate
warning message will appear on the screen. Preferably, make sure the appropriate remote
device is switched on at this time. However, SIMRET will continue trying to pair until the
device is switched on and pairing is successful. Successful pairing normally takes just a few
seconds, although if many discoverable Bluetooth or WiFi devices are in range it may take a
little longer. If the device will not pair, just
single click
to try again or
hold down
and release
to abandon and investigate.
To pair with the
Printer
, first make sure the printer is switched-on by pressing its
>>
button,
a green light appears on the printer (no green light means its battery is flat). The
Printer
will
then stay on and paired until the SIMRET is switched off or is paired with the
Pedal Pad
. The
Printer
will switch itself off after one minute if it can’t pair.
To pair with the
Pedal Pad
, first switch it on by pressing firmly with your foot for about 1
second then releasing. The yellow light will turn off when pairing is successful. The pedal
will stay active and paired until the
SIMRET
is switched-off or is paired with the
Printer
.
Bluetooth devices are identified by their unique Bluetooth Address (a 12 digit number) and a
“Friendly” name. To aid identification, all devices are marked with their Bluetooth friendly
names. The friendly name will usually incorporate the serial number of the device.
If Bluetooth is fitted, then at switch-on the instrument will make itself discoverable to other
Bluetooth devices, such as a Bluetooth laptop, PC or iPhone, for uploading etc. After printing
or brake testing you can make the instrument discoverable again by double clicking on the
Main Menu
. The Bluetooth passcode is 1234.
