> With the !RangeExtender, a wireless connection can be established to the !MikroKopter over a large range (>1000mtr).<
> The connection will be relayed via USB or Bluetooth on the !RangeExtender to the more powerful Wi.232 module. In that way a connection will be established to the Wi.232 module on the !MikroKopter. The !RangeExtender will be supplied with power via an integrated battery. <
><
><
> = The connection = The !RangeExtender can be used i.e. on a: * Tablet * Smartphone * Computer * etc. (appropriate software required, i.e. MK-!TabletTool ([[en/MK-TT|Link]]), KopterTool, Dubwise etc.).<
><
> In this way a transfer and display telemetry data from the Kopter is possible. You are also able to send WayPoints to the Kopter.<

> The !RangeExtender can be easily connected with a Tablet, Smartphone etc. . Here you proceed as follows: <
> 1. Switch ON the !RangeExtender with the switch on the side - the __green__ LED ''Power'' flashes. 1. At the used device switch to the settings / Bluetooth settings and start the Bluetooth Scan.<
> (See instruction of the used device) 1. After a short time the !RangeExtender should be found with its identification.<
> Identification = '''''!RangeExtender''''' 1. Now the !RangeExtender can be assigned to the device (Pairing). 1. Here now the four-digit Bluetooth-Key (PIN) of the !RangeExtender need to be entered.<
> Bluetooth-Key (PIN) = '''0000''' 1. After a successful ''Pairing'' the !RangeExtender can be used with an appropriate program. 1. Has been established a connection via Bluetooth (i.e. tablet computer) with the RE, the __blue__ LED ''Bluetooth'' will light at the RE. = Connection at the MikroKopter = With the delivery of the !RangeExtender comes also a Wi.232 module for the !MikroKopter.<
> This Wi.232-receiver will be connected with the ribbon cable to the connector '''''Debug''''' on the !NaviCtrl .<
>> If only a !FlightCtrl is used on the Kopter you need to connect the Wi.232 receiver to the 10-pin header at the FlightCtrl .<
> Throughout the missing GPS system the transfer of the telemetry data is not possible. [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=128613&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=128616&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <

> = Load RangeExtender = The !RangeExtender uses a 3,6V/800mAh NiMH battery. With this battery the !RangeExtender can work without additional power over a longer period of time. If the battery has used up its power, a warning signal will sound and the battery needs to be charged.<
><
> To load the battery the !RangeExtender can be connected either way with the USB cable to a PC, Laptop etc. or to a suitable power supply with a 5V= Output. <
> After connecting a USB cable to the RE and to an appropriate device the __red__ LED ''Charge'' will light. If the battery is completely charged the red LED will go OFF and you can disconnect the USB connection.<
><
> '''INFO:''' The battery will be also charged if the !RangeExtender is switched OFF. <
