Freelap Device Manager

To detect an FxChip BLE, the guide asks users to :

• enable Location Services and Bluetooth on the smartphone
• turn on a Freelap transmitter
• activate the FxChip BLE by setting it in motion
• place it approximately 30 cm from the transmitter
• wait 5 seconds
• then open FDM and start detection

The guide also specifies that the device can be detected for 2 minutes before entering sleep mode.

Once detected, FDM allows users to display :

• the device image
• its name
• the HEX firmware version
• the BLE version
• the battery charge level
• update availability
• access to device configuration

In the settings, the guide indicates that users can view :

• the device’s unique ID
• the device version
• the BLE version used

When an update is available, a dedicated icon appears in the app. The guide indicates that users must click it, then launch INSTALL. The update takes approximately 1 minute.

To detect an FxSwim, the guide indicates that users must :

• enable Location Services and Bluetooth on the smartphone
• turn on the FxSwim by pressing the central button for 2 seconds
• wait 5 seconds
• check that it continues to flash
• open FDM and start detection

Here too, the device can be detected for 2 minutes before entering sleep mode.

The information available in FDM for FxSwim is similar to that of the FxChip BLE:

• device image
• name
• HEX firmware version
• BLE version
• battery level
• update availability
• access to configuration

In the settings, the guide mentions:

• device ID
• version
• BLE version

As with the FxChip BLE, an update icon appears when a new version is available. The update is then launched via INSTALL and takes approximately 1 minute.

The guide distinguishes 2 methods:
