Your device must support Bluetooth 4 (or Bluetooth Low Energy BLE) standard. If you are unsure, there are apps available to check Bluetooth connectivity and compatibility.
Using the LightBlue Bluetooth App, if the device is compatible it should display a Bluetooth source called SWIFT_BLE. If SWIFT_BLE is not found then the device being used is most likely not compatible.
If your device is compatible with the Bluetooth then it is recommended the following components checks are conducted.
Pairing and connecting your device
The pairing process for Apple IOS and Android are different. Please see the Swift Command App user guide before trying to pair a device.
This is a one-off process and does not need to be repeated once completed.
NOTE: Do not get confused between the pair process and the connect / reconnect process (especially on Apple IOS as the same screen is used).
It is possible that the App may disconnect after the first pairing, this is normal and does happen on some devices. Please reconnect and continue using the App.
If your device goes to sleep, the screen auto-locks, you change to another app or another paired device connects to the system, the Bluetooth connection will be disconnected. you will need to reconnect when you wish to use the Swift Command App again.
On IOS you can change the auto-lock time (settings/general/auto-lock) or on Android you can change the sleep time (Settings/display/screen timeout, sleep or similar).
If you use the remote features part of the App whilst connected via Bluetooth in your caravan or motorhome, the Bluetooth connection will be disconnected and disabled for 5 minutes to avoid any conflicting signals.
