Trouble Shooting AirTurn Devices

1. Ensure that your AirTurn device is connected using the BlueTooth settings. To do this, following the instructions that came with your device.

2. Ensure that your AirTurn device is in the correct mode for iOS devices. Follow the instructions that came with your device.

3. Ensure that your AirTurn device is sending keystrokes to the iOS device and that those keys are being received by the iOS device. You can use Notepad (or any app that allows you to enter multiple lines of text) and do the following experiment:

A: Enter several lines of text, it does not matter what the text is.

B: Place the cursor in the middle of the text so that there are characters to the left, right, above and below the cursor.

C: Press the pedals or buttons on the AirTurn remote. The cursor should be around the text, just like the arrow keys on a keyboard would. Depending on the key, the remote may enter 'b' into the text, or a new line.

D: If the cursor does not move, the AirTurn device may not be functioning properly, or the connection between the devices is not valid. In either case the issue is with the devices and not software. Try using the AirTurn on a different device, or a different BlueTooth device with the iOS device in order to determine if the problem is with the AirTurn device or the iOS device.
