Handling and operation
Connecting to a smartphone
Before you can use the selfie stick, you have to first pair the
remote trigger8with a compatible smartphone via
Bluetooth®.
This product supports iOS 8.0 or higher and Android 6.0 or
higher. Since Android is an open-source system, each manu-
facturer assigns the keys in their camera app themselves.
Therefore, the original camera app of some smartphones
cannot be used to take pictures and there may be various
malfunctions when pressing the buttonq. If this is the
case, check the operating system settings to see whether
there is an option to use the volume control (+) as an
additional trigger button.

Disposal
Disposal of the device
Electric devices may not be thrown away as part of normal
household trash. If you can no longer use your electric device,
dispose of it in accordance with the legal provisions applicable
in your state. This will ensure that old electric devices are
recycled and environmental pollution is kept to a minimum.
Further information about disposal is available on the internet
at www.epa.gov.
Disposal of batteries
Some batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead,
cadmium, and nickel; therefore, many communities do not
allow them to be thrown away with your regular trash. Recycling
is always the best option for disposing of used batteries.
Dry-cell batteries are used in a variety of electronics and include
alkaline and carbon zinc (9-volt, D, C, AA, AAA), mercuric-oxide
(button, some cylindrical and rectangular), silver-oxide and
zinc-air (button), and lithium (9-volt, C, AA, coin, button, re-
chargeable) batteries. Look for in-store recycling bins or
community collection events to dispose of these batteries.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging materials have been selected
for their environmental friendliness and ease of
disposal, and are therefore recyclable.
Dispose of packaging materials that are no longer needed in
accordance with applicable local regulations.
Note the marking on the different packaging materials
and separate them accordingly. The packaging mate-
rials are marked with abbreviations (a) and numbers
(b) with the following meanings: 1–7: Plastics,
20–22: Paper and cardboard, 80–98: Composites.
