iOS Setup

No Remotek app for iOS yet. Use an Android phone to update firmware if needed.

• Download Remotek, connect controller, and update to the latest firmware.

2. Bluetooth Pairing

• On iOS, go to Settings > Bluetooth.

• Connect to RT One XXX (matching digits on back).

Note: iOS sees the controller as a keyboard, so the on-screen keyboard may not appear. To fix:

• Turn the screen off/on, or disable Bluetooth temporarily when typing.

3. Configure Accessibility

• Go to:
  Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards > Full Keyboard Access > Commands

• Remove all Arrow key bindings to enable map panning.
