Connecting to an AMPLIFi Device
Using Bluetooth®, AMPLIFi Remote will communicate wirelessly
with your AMPLIFi device. Before you run the AMPLIFi Remote app,
congure the Bluetooth® connection with your mobile device as follows:
• Enter Pairing Mode on your AMPLIFi device by pressing its
Bluetooth® button so that it is ashing.
• Enter Bluetooth® Pairing Mode within the Settings of your iOS
device, or open the Bluetooth® Settings menu on your Android™
device.
• Your AMPLIFi hardware's unique name will appear on your iOS
device. Android™ users may need to select "Scan for Devices" to
refresh the list of available Bluetooth® devices.
• Select your AMPLIFi device's unique name to establish the
connection - this completes the pairing conguration and you are
ready for wireless operation!

AMPLIFi model name briey displayed in the app screen:
• The AMPLIFi Remote app will go into "Sync" mode, where it
synchronizes tone data with your AMPLIFi device. Allow the Sync
to complete and you're ready to rock!
Firmware Updates
For optimal performance, it is recommended that you always run the
latest rmware in your AMPLIFi hardware. Your AMPLIFi Remote
application will inform you whenever a rmware update is available, so
you'll always know you have the latest version.
While a rmware update is possible via your AMPLIFi Remote app,
completion may take up to one hour due to the limited connectivity speed
of Bluetooth®. We highly recommend using the free Line 6 Updater
application for Mac® and Windows® computers, which will perform the
rmware update in just a few minutes - Please see "Firmware Updates
Using Line 6 Updater" on page 18.
NOTE: If you encounter diculties creating or maintaining a
Bluetooth® connection, please see "Troubleshooting" on page
