Pairing the Transmitter¶
The QuattroPod receiver can be paired with up to 32 transmitters simultaneously. The transmitters are pre-paired with the supplied receiver by default. However, you can purchase additional transmitters or use transmitters with a different receiver. There are three ways to pair a transmitter with a receiver:
Connect the transmitter to the receiver¶
The transmitter is connected to the USB port of the receiver and the devices pair automatically. Some find this option easiest when the receiver is easy to reach. If the receiver is mounted on the ceiling or simply hard to reach, pair the transmitter either via QR code or via USB stick.
- Switch the transmitter to
PC
.
- Connect the transmitter to the USB port of the receiver and turn on the receiver.
The message "Pairing..." automatically appears on the QuattroPod home screen. During pairing, the transmitter flashes red and the receiver flashes white.
After a few seconds, the transmitter is paired with the QuattroPod. The receiver and the transmitter light up white.
This is confirmed with "Pairing OK" on the home screen.
The transmitter can now be used with the corresponding receiver. Finally, switch the transmitter to the desired mode and connect it to the desired end device:
-
Mobile
= Smart devices -
PC
= Windows/macOS
Pair transmitter via QR code¶
Note
This step must be done in the same room or within wireless range of the receiver.

Pair transmitter via USB stick¶
If the receiver is out of range and difficult to access, you can download a pairing file and copy it to the transmitter using a USB stick.

There are two ways to save the pairing file to the USB stick:
Download pairing file via web interface¶
