1. There are many kinds of Android phone, so the user interfaces maybe different on some brand phones or different scales of the same brand. 2. Application permission requirements, allow the necessary permissions when the APP is installed (allow background running, using Bluetooth, operation on the folder, reading the application list, etc.) and also set the permissions of the APP after installation: Allow background running, never shut down when lock screen, allow self-starting (it is used to prevent the system from forcibly exiting the APP when recording data), etc.
IOS APP Instruction 3.1 Mobile Phone APP Installation WiFi connection only supported for RD6012P-W. If you want to use the APP, you need to order a WiFi board. 3.1.1 APP Download Apple APP only supports IOS10.0-14.3, iphone6 and above models, search for "RDPower" in the Apple store to download.
When Figure 21 Figure 22 Figure 21 software is started for the first time, the system may apply for positioning (as shown in ), select Figure 22 "Allow when using APP", and apply for data when the software is running (as shown in ), select "Wireless LAN and cellular mobile network".

4.3.2 Calibration The calibration fine-tuning function needs to be operated by a professional electronic person who has more than Six and a half digit multimeter. It will change the system setting, incorrect operation may exceeds the hardware limit and cause damage, and the resulting damage is not covered in the warranty! The limit error of the product is generally much smaller than the nominal error, when the error is close to or even higher than the nominal error, you need to check if the measuring instrument is accurate.
every step between 1 and 9999 seconds, you can set 200 steps max, it can output automatically or manually. You cannot choose other operation page when it performs programming output or other operations, you can only switch other page when it ends. 4.3.4 RS485 Multiple Devices Communication Use USB to 485 module to connect the AB of the 485 module, if you have multiple device, connect their AB together.
