Geng Started
The ManTooth PT Module is a precise
instrument to accurately measure and report
the crical informaon needed to service
refrigeraon and air-condioning equipment.
The ManTooth PT Module reports the system
informaon directly to your smartphone or
tablet by means of a class 1 Bluetooth v.2.1
radio. The ManTooth PT Module is compable
with any iOS device running iOS 7.0 or later and
Android devices running Android 4.0.3 (Ice
Cream Sandwich) or later.
Before you use your ManTooth PT Module for
the first me you should make sure that it is
fully charged. You will also need to download
the free ManTooth RSA Pressure/Temperature
App from the Apple App Store for iOS devices
or the Google Play store for Android devices.
You can either use the QR code links that are
on your ManTooth PT Module packaging,
follow the links that are available on
YellowJacket.com, or just search for Yellow
Jacket ManTooth in either app store.
Pairing
To display service readings your ManTooth PT
Module must be connected via Bluetooth to an
iOS phone or tablet running iOS 7.0+ or an

Android phone or tablet running Android 4.0.3+
(Ice Cream Sandwich or later). To connect your
ManTooth PT Module to your phone or tablet
the two must first be paired to one another.
The pairing of the module to your device is
done in your phone or tablet’s sengs.
**Note** you only need to pair your ManTooth
PT Module the first me you connect it to your
phone or tablet, however, if you force your
phone or tablet to “forget” your ManTooth PT
Module you will need to re-pair. **Note** your
ManTooth PT Module can be paired with
mulple devices at the same me. However, it
can only be connected and sending readings to
one phone or tablet at a me.
To pair your ManTooth PT Module you first
need to open the sengs menu on the phone
or tablet you wish to pair to your ManTooth PT
Module. Next tap on “Bluetooth” to enter the
Bluetooth sengs. Be sure to turn your phone
or tablet’s Bluetooth radio on if it is not already
on.
Next turn your ManTooth PT Module on by
pressing and releasing the power buon on the
main module. If you have a 67002 dual unit the
main module is the one that says “ManTooth
PT Module” on the label not the one that says
“ManTooth PT Tether Module”. The module
will go through a brief start up sequence then
the light on your ManTooth PT Module should
start to blink blue. This means that your
ManTooth PT Module is searching for available
Bluetooth devices to connect with. Next, if you
are using an Android phone or tablet, tap on
“Scan” at the boom of the screen to scan for
available devices. Apple iOS devices should
automacally scan for available Bluetooth
devices.
Your ManTooth PT Module should then show
up as an available device to pair with on your
phone or tablet’s screen. This may take up to
30 seconds.
**Note** Your ManTooth PT Module’s name is
the same as the serial number and is printed on
the main module’s label just above the model
number (67001 or 67002).
Once your ManTooth PT Module shows up as
an available device tap on it’s name to pair it
with your phone. On Android systems a
“Bluetooth pairing request” alert may pop up
asking to confirm the passkey tap on “OK” to
connue.

***************************************
Set Locaon Details
If you want to organize your saved data in
session history you can enter the locaon
informaon for the current service session. This
informaon will show up in the service reports
you can email and is how the service history
will be organized. Here you have the ability to
either add a new locaon or select an exisng
locaon. Once you have designated a locaon
you can also designate what equipment is being
serviced during the session. Locaons can have
8

mulple pieces of equipment associated with
them so you can keep track of each individual
unit at locaons that may have more than one
system. Saved session data will be saved to
“Session History” in the app’s main menu and
sorted first alphabecally by business name or
customer last name, then alphabecally by
assigned equipment name, and lastly by the
date and me the data was saved. **Note**
Locaon details are oponal. Any saved session
data without an assigned locaon will be saved
under “No Locaon” and appear at the end of
the Service History list. The “No Locaon” data
will be sorted simply by date and me. You can

whoever you want, discard the snapshot you
just took, or just save it to your session history
for later reference and use. **Note** the
phone or tablet you are using must be
connected to cellular service or WiFi to send
emails. If your phone or tablet does not have
the proper service to send an email when the
screen shots are taken you can save the data
and then access it at any me from the
“Session History” secon on the app’s home
screen. Any saved service data can be emailed
from within “Session History”.
Other Buons
At the boom of the readings screen there are
two addional buons.
The first is labeled “Clear readings” This will
clear the minimum, maximum, and average
readings of the session. This funcon is
