Hint

Please note that the pairing only needs to be carried out once. If the pairing was successful, it will be sufficient in future to activate remote access by tapping the “Start remote service” button.

Your smartphone should now show up in the list of available remote devices.

Hint

If available, the function “AP / Client Isolation” of your wireless network must be disabled, so that different devices can communicate with each other. Please note that in many public wireless networks the AP isolation function is enabled and therefore you cannot use your smartphone as card reader in those networks.

In order to pair your device with a smartphone, select the smartphone from the list and enter the pairing code shown on your remote device:
