Connection to an external device (for example, smartphone)

The s.QUAD has a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy interface that can be used to communicate with a remote terminal (smart-phone). You can turn the interface on or off using the menu. If the interface is turned off, then the s.QUAD cannot be accessed via Bluetooth. The status of the Bluetooth interface is shown using a symbol in the status line.
Connection setup
As soon as the Bluetooth interface is turned on on the s.QUAD, a connection with the remote terminal (smartphone) is set up (advertising). The s.QUAD is visible on the remote terminal (smart-phone) as soon as advertising has been successful.

Pairing
During advertising, the s.QUAD transmits an identifying name (s. QUAD and serial number) via the Bluetooth interface. You can now select the relevant s.QUAD on the remote terminal (smartphone). To prevent an inadvertent or unauthorized connection, a six-digit number (passkey) is displayed on the s.QUAD during connection setup and you must enter it on the remote terminal (smart-phone).
The s.QUAD remembers the connection with the remote terminal. This applies even after the battery has been replaced. If the device wishes to connect with the s.QUAD again, the connection is established automatically. As long as the connection remains active, the s.QUAD will not be visible to other remote terminals (smartphones).

Terminating a connection
If you would like to connect the s.QUAD with another remote terminal (smartphone), you must first delete the active connection.
