Connecting

When you first switch on you radio, the indicator light inside BlueCat will 
flash. Once a Bluetooth connection has been made to the unit (pairing) 
this light will stay permanently lit or change pattern. This shows that the 
unit has successfully connected to your bluetooth enabled device (Laptop, 
phone etc.). This is analogous to correctly connecting a CT62 RS232 Cable
- the basic link is in place, and that’s half the job done.

Once this connection is established, you must instruct your device to 
contact the radio using the CAT Data Protocol.

For Android Mobile Phones running the RepeaterBook app:

Start the RepeaterBook app
Press menu (Top right)
Select 'Settings' and scroll down to BlueCAT Configuration
Select 'Radio' then chose your Yaesu radio from the list.
Return to the main app screen (Back button)
Press menu (Top right)
Select BlueCat from the menu
Select 'Connect'
Select ‘Scan for BlueCAT’
Select your BlueCAT from the list of devices
Enter the PIN 1234 (If requested)
When connected the titlebar will change to a blue background
Now you can just touch a Repeater and your radio will be set.
Once everything has been successfully connected you can select ' 
Auto Connect' from settings and the phone will automatically
attempt to reconnect to your radio when it app starts.
