Opening the APP

Once the APP has been downloaded and installed, you’re ready to run! If you plan to run Bluetooth engines directly with Cab3, turn on your smart-device’s Bluetooth radio and then open the Cab3 APP.

If you plan to use the Cab3 APP with the Base3, you’ll not only want to turn on the smart-device’s Bluetooth radio, but also connect its Wi-Fi to the Base3. Click here for more info. Once connected to Wi-Fi, then open the Cab3 APP.
