BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION

When connected to a remote device running the FLIR Tools™ mobile app, the MR55 (using the METERLiNK® protocol) can send readings for display on the remote device. When connected to a compatible FLIR camera that supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), the MR55 can send meter readings for display on the camera. Download the FLIR Tools mobile app from the Google Play™ Store, the Apple App store, or from here:
