  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    ROUBLESHOOTING The db150 is not detected by my RemoteID app In default configuration, the db150 uses WLAN Beacon as transmission method which is the most energy efficient method. However, most smartphones/RemoteID apps fail to detect these RemoteID signals, or it needs a long time before it is detected. Switch to Bluetooth dual-mode (see Chapter 2 Configuration) to solve this.
