1

Open HOBOmobile. Enable Bluetooth® in your device settings if

2

prompted.

Tap the HOBOs icon at the bottom of the screen and then tap the

logger in the list to connect to it. If the logger does not appear in
the list, make sure the logger is within range of your device.

Once connected, tap Configure to set up the logger. Choose the

4

logger settings.

Note that the default Bluetooth setting for the logger is Bluetooth
Always On, which means it will “advertise” or regularly send out a
Bluetooth signal for the phone or tablet to find via HOBOmobile.
This setting uses battery power. You can change this to one of the
following power saving modes:

• Bluetooth Always Off. The logger will only advertise when you
press the HOBO button on the protective logger boot to wake
it up.

• Bluetooth Off Water Detect. The logger will only advertise
when it is out of water. When it is in water, the Bluetooth
signal is automatically disabled.
