Pairing with Windows

The Smart Remote 3 for nRF52 can be connected to a host system with Bluetooth® Low Energy.

nRFready Smart Remote will only pair and work with Bluetooth 4.0 and HID-over-GATT compliant host systems. The nRFready Smart Remote 3 functionality will vary depending on the supported features in these platforms.
  1. If your computer is not Bluetooth 4.0 hardware enabled, insert the Bluetooth dongle (supplied) into your computer and wait until the dongle is recognized and the drivers installed properly.
  2. Power up the board either by inserting batteries into the battery compartment or by sliding the Power switch on the DK to ON position (DK add-on only).
  3. Pairing mode is automatically selected if the Smart Remote 3 wasn't bound to a previous host. To delete existing bonds and enter into pairing mode, power up the Smart Remote 3 while pressing the orange button between Channel+ and Volume+ buttons.
