Handling and operation

Establishing a connection to a smartphone

Before you can use the selfie stick, you must first pair the remote release 8 with a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth®.

NOTE

This product supports the operating systems iOS 8.0 or higher and Android 6.0 or higher. As Android is an open-source system, each manufacturer determines the key assignment of its camera app themselves. On some smartphones no image can be triggered with the original camera app, and there may be various malfunctions when pressing the button 11. In this case, check the settings of the operating system to see whether the settings offer an option for setting the volume control (+) as an additional trigger button.
Press and hold the button 9 for about 3 seconds to switch on the remote release 8. The operating LED 10 lights up red once and then flashes blue every second. The remote release 8 is now in pairing mode for approx. 1 minute. If you do not make the pairing within 1 minute, the remote release 8 switches off automatically.
Activate the Bluetooth® function on your smartphone and search for Bluetooth® devices. You can find a detailed description of how to do this in the operating instructions for your smartphone.
Select the entry SSBS 3.0 A1 from the list of found devices on your smartphone to pair the two devices. If the connection is successful, the operating LED 10 goes out.
To switch off the remote release 8, press and hold the button 9 for approx. 3 seconds. The operating LED 10 briefly flashes red three times before going out completely

NOTE

The next time you switch on the device, the remote release 8 will connect automatically to the last-connected smartphone. If your smartphone does not automatically connect to the remote release 8, you must establish the connection manually. You can find a detailed description of how to do this in the operating instructions for your smartphone.
If you want to connect another smartphone to the remote release 8, press and hold the button 13 for about 2 seconds. The operating LED briefly flashes blue twice and then continues to flash every second. The remote release 8 is now in pairing mode for about 1 minute and can now be connected to another smartphone.

Attaching a smartphone to the selfie stick

Pull the clamps of the smartphone holder 2 open.
Place the smartphone between the clamps of the smartphone holder 2 by pushing the upper clamp upwards against the spring force. Check that your smartphone is securely in place.

If you want to unlock the telescope shaft 4 again, turn the individual elements in the opposite direction (anticlockwise).
