Getting started
Follow these simple steps to play Zeemote-Ready games with your controller.
Enable Bluetooth® wireless technology communication on your mobile phone, and make your
phone discoverable.
Turn on the Zeemote JS1 device.
Set up and run a Zeemote-Ready™ game.
1. Enabling Bluetooth® wireless technology and making your mobile phone discoverable
Before you begin, you must make sure that your mobile phone is fully charged. You now need to make sure Bluetooth® wireless technology is enabled on your phone. Go to the
Settings section in the main menu for your phone. Open the settings page for “Bluetooth”. Make sure Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on, and your device is set to be “Discoverable”.
Following are quick instructions for owners of Nokia S60 phones (such as Nokia N73 and Nokia N95) and Sony Ericsson phones (such as Sony Ericsson K800i and Sony Ericsson W580i). Please consult the user manual of your mobile phone for more information.
Nokia phones
From standby, select Menu Æ Tools Æ Bluetooth. Navigate to “Bluetooth” and select “On” to turn it on, if it i s currently turned off. Navigate to “My phone’s visibility” and select “Shown to all”.
Sony Ericsson phones
From standby, select Menu Æ Settings Æ the Connectivity tab Æ Bluetooth. Select “Turn On” to turn it on, if it is currently turned off.
2. Turning your Zeemote JS1 Device on and off
To turn on your device, press and hold Button D for 3 seconds until the LED flashes blue and amber. To turn off your device, press and hold Button D for 3 seconds until the LED is turned off.
Good to know:
Power save mode is always enabled on your Zeemote JS1. If your device is turned on but not connected to a mobile phone for over 5 minutes, the device will turn itself off. Likewise, if the device is turned on, and communicating with a game for over 20 minutes, but the device can detect no interaction with the joystick or the buttons, it will turn itself off as well.
3. Setting up and running a new Zeemote-Ready Game
Each Zeemote-Ready game only needs to be set up once. The steps are as follows:
Make sure your phone is fully charged and turned on, Bluetooth® wireless technology is enabled,
and your phone is set to be visible to other devices (consult the previous sections for details).
