Remote Control Function and Using It
Bluetooth is automatically turned on after setting up HomeWhiz. To activate or deactivate the Bluetooth connection, please see Bluetooth 3’’’.
If you turn off and on your machine while bluetooth is active, it will automatically reconnect. In cases such as paired device going off the range, bluetooth will automatically turn off. For this reason, you will need to turn on the bluetooth again if you want to use the Remote Control function.
You can check the bluetooth symbol on the display to track your connection status. If the symbol is continuously on, you have bluetooth connection. If the symbol is flashing, the product is trying to connect. If the symbol is off, it means you are not connected.
