​Remotek One Controller

User Manual

from firmware 2.1.0​​​

​​

The Remotek One controller runs on a cr2450 battery that lasts for years and uses bluetooth for communication with your iOS or Android device. There are two profiles, one Map profile where the buttons sends key codes for managing maps like plus/minus and arrow buttons, and one Media profile with keycodes for managing media apps, like volume, skip, play/pause. When you receive the new controlller, it is locked in the Map profile. We recommend to keep it locked until you get the basic knowledge, and then, if you also are going to use it for media (or roadbook) control, you unlock that profile. Read on to see how to use it, how you unlock the second profile and how to switch between the two and open your favorite apps when you do.

We recommend that you replace the battery once per season(two screws in the back to open controller) to guarantee that you never run out of juice.

​

A - Mounting the controller

1. Unpack the goodies bag which includes two brackets, one for straight mount on the handlebar and one for sideways mount over the mirror/clutch bracket, two spacers to lift the sideways mount higher above the mirror/clutch mound, two sets of bolts and nuts and two stripes of grip tape.

2. Remove the paper and attach the grip tape to the area of the handlebar where you want the controller. You might have to move the existing brackets sideway a litte to make room for our controller.

3. Mount the controller bracket in an angle which makes it easy to get to the buttons with your thumb. Do not over tighten the bolts. It is ok to leave it so that you can just turn the controller on the handlebar.

4. Slide in the controller and tighten the nut on top to secure it in place.

5. If you need more mounting options, go to the front page and look at the selection of 3d designed brackets for download.
