Dear customer,
we are delighted that you have selected the BlueCom adapter from our range of
products. We are confident that this unique accessories unit will bring you much
pleasure and success.
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The BlueCom adapter provides a means of setting up PowerBox products wi-
relessly, and of updating the software to the latest version. To use the adapter
all you have to do is simply and conveniently download the corresponding App
„PowerBox Mobile Terminal“ from Google Play and the Apple Appstore - at no
charge!
Once you have installed the App on your mobile telephone, you can plug the Blue-
Com adapter into a PowerBox device. You are then in a position to load the latest
update or alter settings.
For example, the BlueCom adapter enables you to adjust all the various settings
available on the iGyro 3e and iGyro 1e conveniently from your mobile phone.
Features:
+ Wireless Bluetooth connection to the PowerBox device
+ Updates and set-up work carried out very simply using your mobile phone or
tablet
+ Free App for Apple and Android devices
+ Automatic online update function

2. INSTALLING THE APP
The App required for use with the BlueCom adapter is conveniently available for
downloading. For Android devices the download platform is “Google Play”; for iOS
devices it is the “App Store”.
Please follow the instructions on the screen to install the App.
3. CONNECTING THE ADAPTER TO THE POWERBOX DEVICE
Once you have installed the App, you can plug the BlueCom adapter into the
PowerBox device. Since the methods of connecting PowerBox devices to the
BlueCom adapter vary widely, we provide a table (below) which indicates the
socket to which the adapter should be connected, and the functions which are
supported. Some PowerBox devices require activation of the “PC-CONTROL” fun-
ction in the device’s internal menu before the BlueCom adapter can be paired
(bound) to it. Other devices also require the connection of a separate power sup-
ply by means of a Y-lead.
Our Support forum includes wiring diagrams for the various devices.

4. CONNECTING THE POWERBOX DEVICE TO THE MOBILE DEVICE
The App can be started once you have
plugged in the BlueCom adapter, and - if
necessary - activated the “PC-CONTROL”
function. All the following screen-shots are
typical examples; the actual display may
look slightly different depending on your
telephone and the operating system in use.
The first time you use the App with an Android device you will need to approve the
Bluetooth connection; the device then looks for the adapter automatically. The
screen displays a second query when the Bluetooth connection is found.
The procedure is automatic in the case of Apple iOS.
To ensure that the App always reflects the latest state of development, all current
updates are downloaded immediately whenever an Internet connection is pre-
sent; the user can also do this at any other time if necessary:

At this screen you have to select your PowerBox device. The “Quick Connect”
function or just the “Quick Update” function will be available, depending on the
range of functions offered by the PowerBox device in question.
The “Quick Connect” function is available for devices such as the iGyro 3e; this
facility enables the user to adjust the device’s parameters. The “Quick Update”
function provides a swift, simple method of updating PowerBox devices.

5. IMPORTANT NOTE: AFTER USING THE ADAPTER
The BlueCom adapter operates using Bluetooth on 2.4 GHz. Although the transmit
power is very low, it is possible for the BlueCom adapter to interfere with reliable
radio transmission, especially when the model is a long way from the transmitter.
For this reason it is essential to remove the BlueCom adapter once you have
completed the Update process or set-up work!

Repairs which our Service department carries out for you do not extend the ori-

10. LIABILITY EXCLUSION
We are not in a position to ensure that you observe our instructions regarding in-
stallation of the PowerBox BlueCom adapter, fulfil the recommended conditions
when using the unit, or maintain the entire radio control system competently.
For this reason we deny liability for loss, damage or costs which arise due to the
use or operation of the PowerBox BlueCom adapter, or which are connected with
such use in any way. Regardless of the legal arguments employed, our obligation
to pay compensation is limited to the invoice total of our products which were
involved in the event, insofar as this is deemed legally permissible.
We wish you every success using your new PowerBox BlueCom adapter.
