- Initial Pairing / 1st time connection with ML6 Connect:
Before using the remote control with the ML6 Connect for the first time, the remote has to be initially paired with ML6 connect via the app. Connect the smartphone/Ledlenser Connect App with the ML6 Connect.
Select “remote control” in the main menu. Click on “+” in the remote control sub-menu. Now the App scans for any available remotes for 10 seconds. Within the 10 seconds scanning procedure, click on any button of the remote control. The desired remote control should now appear in the app.
Now, click on “Add” to constantly pair it with the ML6 Connect. The remote control is now paired with the ML6 Connect and appears in the remote control list. As long as a paired remote control is not manually removed from the list, the ML6 Connect can now always be operated with the remote control without pairing it again.
- General switch logic of remote control:
The remote control has 3 switches: “(((”; ” ⃝”; “))”
“(((” remote control switch exactly reflects the “+“ switch on the ML6 Connect except for Transportation Lock activation/deactivation. Clicking, double clicking or keep pushing it will cause the same actions.
“ ⃝” remote control switch exactly reflects the power switch of the ML6 Connect. Except for factory reset, Clicking, double clicking or keep pushing it will cause the same actions: turning on, turning off and cycling through the light functions. Factory reset will not work by using remote control.
“))” remote control switch exactly reflects the “-” switch of the ML6 Connect except for Transportation Lock activation/deactivation. Clicking, double clicking or keep pushing it will cause the same actions.
Transport Lock activation/deactivation is not possible by remote control (e.g. by keep pushing “(((“ and “))” switch of the remote control at the same time).
Factory reset is not possible by remote control (e.g. by pushing ” ⃝” switch on the remote control for >8 sec.).
Precondition for operations:
-
- Remote control must be in range (10-100 meters in open spaces)
- Remote control battery must be sufficiently charged.
- ML6 Connect is not in Transportation Lock.
- ML6 Connect Bluetooth function active or in standby:
Bluetooth function of ML6 Connect active: When the ML6 Connect is turned on, the ML6 Connect Bluetooth function is active. The lamp can be directly controlled via the remote control. All functions are available with quick reaction time, incl. turning off by keeping pushed “ ⃝” switch. When ML6 Connect is operated in Low Power mode at low battery status, the remote control reaction time can be slightly reduced.
Bluetooth function of ML6 in standby: after turning off the lamp and disconnection from smartphone, the Bluetooth function of the ML6 Connect is set to standby mode for 50 hours. Within this period the lamp can be turned on with slower reaction time by keep pushing “ ⃝” switch (thereby reflecting the ML6 Connect power switch) or keep pushing “(((“/”))” switch (thereby reflecting the direct red light activation function of “+“/”-” switch). When the ML6 Connect has been turned on again, reaction time is back to normal.
Detailed ML6 Connect Bluetooth function turn on/off information: Each time the lamp is turned on via the physical power switch or “+”/”-“ (direct red light activation) in any light function, Bluetooth function of ML6 Connect is activated. The lamp now remains ready for connection with the smartphone via Ledlenser Connect App or for operation via remote control as long as the lamp is on. When the lamp is turned off via app, switch or remote control and disconnected from smartphone, the Bluetooth function will be set to standby mode for 50 hours. In standby mode the lamp can be reconnected with smartphone or be turned on by remote control without using any switch of the lamp again, but with slower reaction time. Once the connection is reestablished or the lamp is turned on again, reaction time is back to normal. When no connection with the lamp has been established within the 50 hours standby time period, Bluetooth function will be deactivated and the lamp will not be available for connection or remote control operation anymore. For reconnection or remote control operation the lamp has to be turned on via physical power switch again.
Help text in app: “After initially pairing, the remote control can always be used with the lamp when the Bluetooth function of the lamp is active or in standby mode. The remote control switches reflect the functionalities of the lamp switches, even when an individual switch profile has been stored. When a lamp has only one switch, only the middle switch of the remote control can be used with that lamp. The remote control is not necessarily in the scope of delivery of all compatible Ledlenser lamps with Bluetooth function.”
