Intention For Use

Thank you for purchasing this Bluetooth Battery Monitoring System from Streetwize. This monitoring system is intended to help you monitor the health of your battery through your smartphone via a specially designed smartphone app (BM6 – Battery Monitor 6).
When this monitoring system is connected to your vehicle, it provides you with real-time readings of your battery’s charge level, voltage and temperature.
The device can also be used to track both your journey and location via your smartphone’s built-in GPS.
Through the smartphone app, you can monitor up to four 12V batteries.
However, you will need to get and install a Bluetooth Battery Monitoring System for each battery.
This product is suitable for use in most vehicles with either a 12V lead acid battery or LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. This includes cars, vans, caravans, motorhomes and 4x4s.
Before using this product, we advise that you read through all information in this document. Please keep this document for future reference.
