the remote and SW1 on the dongle. The red
LED on the dongle will be lit, indicating that it is
idle. Pressing SW2 will start scanning for 5
seconds.

Introduction
This document will guide you through the initial
steps required in order to run the pre programmed
Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) demo application.
You will get familiar with the hardware in the box
and how to interface the Advanced Remote with
different platforms.
1. Evaluate using USB dongle. A USB dongle
pre-programmed with firmware acting as
translator between
Interface Device) and USB HID is supplied in
the kit and works with most operating system
platforms*.
2. Evaluate using Windows 8. Windows 8
includes native support for the BLE HID
(Human Interface Device) over GATT profile.
Using a Bluetooth® Smart Ready dongle or
internal Bluetooth® Smart Ready hardware
you can easily connect the Advanced Remote
to your computer.
* Tested on Windows, OSX and Ubuntu.
2. Advertise and connect
Press any number key or consumer control key
like play or pause on the Advanced Remote to
make the device advertise.
The devices will now connect and pair without PIN
entry. The dongle LED should be lit green, and
blink red whenever data is received from the
Advanced Remote.
Long term bonding entries will be stored in both
the Advanced Remote and the USB-dongle to
speed up subsequent reconnections.
When bonded and disconnected, the dongle will
blink green and always scan for its paired remote.
