App installation and set up - Android
If your phone is an older
model, running an earlier
version of Android software
version (example: 4.2.2). It
would not have the capability
to operate the Scatterbird
MK4. If this is the case, then
we sell a phone which can
be used. This comes with the
software preloaded and some
profiles already programmed
to get you started.
If your phone has a version of
4.4 or above then there is an
additional check which can be
done by going to the “Google
Play Store” (Fig 5).
If the search for “Scatterbird”
brings up the App then it
will almost definitely work
on your android phone (Fig
6). This is because the App
store will only show apps that
should work with your phone,
so it will check that you have
Bluetooth 4.4 or above.
Phone manufacturers alter
some functionality from
the normal sometimes, so
occasionally a phone will
meet the above tests but
still fail to work with the App
properly. If this is the case
then another phone may
need to be used or a pre-
setup phone from Portek can
be purchased at a competitive
price.
