- Compatible with Android devices running 8.0 Oreo (API 26) or later
- Compatible with iOS 11 or newer, iPhone 7s or newer, iPad 2 or newer, iPad mini
- Must have existing sPOD system
Notes:
- The primary reason for the Bluetooth integrated into the HD panel is for programming purposes, and not for remote control due to the limited range.
- HD housings are precision machined billet aluminum which contribute to the distance limitations.
- Ranges may vary from 5 feet up to 15 feet depending on location of the HD, the surroundings, Phone type, Phone cover and many other variables.
