Activate Wireless feature
The
Bluetooth
feature in a VR2Tx receiver must be activated before the VUE software will be able to find
and connect to the VR2Tx. Activation requires a specially designed Bluetooth Activator.
The Bluetooth Activator is a stepped cylinder made of black plastic material. A strong magnet is contained in
the smaller end of the Bluetooth Activator and should be kept away from any magnetically sensitive
materials. An orange float is attached to the Bluetooth Activator for easier handling and locating of the
activator. This activator functions with other VEMCO receivers and receivers that use a Bluetooth Activator,
such as the VR2W and the VR4-UWM.
The flash pattern in a VR2Tx indicates the mode (state) the receiver is in at the time. A bright, long red flash
once a second indicates that the VR2Tx is now ready for wireless communication but is not yet in
communication with VUE.
The Bluetooth Activator can be removed from the VR2Tx once the light is flashing.
WARNING
The Bluetooth Activator contains a
strong magnet
. Do not put it near
magnet-sensitive materials, such as
CRT computer monitors or magnetic
stripes, as they could be seriously
damaged.
TIP
It’s helpful to place the VR2Tx
within 10 meters
(32 feet) of the
operating
Bluetooth®
USB adapter
before
activating the VR2Tx.
