If the logger does not appear in the list or if it is having
trouble connecting, follow these tips.
•
If the logger was configured with Bluetooth Always Off
(see
Configuring the Logge
r), it is currently logging at a
fast interval (5 seconds or faster), and the temperature is
-10°C (14°F) or below, you may need to press the button
twice before it appears in the list.
•
Make sure the logger is within range of your mobile
device or computer. The range for successful wireless
communication in air is approximately 30.5 m (100 ft)
with full line-of-sight.
•
Change the orientation of your device to ensure the
antenna is pointed toward the logger. Obstacles between
the antenna in the device and the logger may cause
intermittent connections.
•
If the logger is in water and configured with Bluetooth
Off Water Detect, remove the logger from the water to
connect to it.
•
If your device can connect to the logger intermittently or
loses its connection, move closer to the logger, within
sight if possible. If the logger is in water, the connection
can be unreliable. Remove it from water for a consistent
connection.
•
If the logger appears in the app, but you cannot connect
to it, close the app and then power down your device to
force the previous Bluetooth connection to close.
Once the logger is connected, you can:
Tap this:
To do this:
Specify logger settings and save them onto the
logger to start logging. See
Configuring the
Logger
.
Download (offload) logger data. See
Downloading Data From the Logger
.
Start logging if the logger was configured to start
with a button push. See
Configuring the Logger
.
Stop logging data (this overrides any Stop
Logging settings described in
Configuring the
Logger
).
Illuminate the logger LEDs for 5 seconds.
Set a password for the logger that is required
when another mobile device attempts to
connect to it. To reset a password, press the
button on the logger for 10 seconds or tap
Manage Password and tap Reset.
Mark the logger as a favorite. You can then filter
the list of devices to show only loggers marked
as favorites.
Update the firmware on the logger. A logger
readout is completed automatically at the
beginning of the firmware update process.
Important:
Before updating the firmware on
the logger, check the remaining battery level
and make sure it is no less than 30%. Make
sure you have the time to complete the
entire update process, which requires that
the logger remains connected to the device
during the upgrade.
