BLUETOOTH CONNECTION INDICATOR:
» When connected to any LiNK compatible device,
a icon will appear in the Targeting screen in the
upper right.
» If the paired device goes to sleep or if the
connection is lost, the icon may disappear but
waking the device up or returning within range
should automatically reestablish the connection and
the icon should reappear.
Note! LiNK range is typically 100 ft/30M line of sight. Shorter distances
should be expected if there are obstacles such as walls or metal
enclosures. Range is also impacted by the signal strength of the other
device.
