It is possible to connect to the NorTronic
smartphones, tablets and many laptops, as well as computers fitted with modern Bluetooth
Because of the massive amount of possibilities, Norbar cannot advise on how to achieve connection this way
as there are simply too many options; it will be the responsibility of the user to understand their device and
how to write their software to achieve the means of connection.
NOTE:
However, we can provide information about the NorTronic

Please contact Norbar and ask for details on connecting the NorTronic
devices to learn more.
