3. Setup Instructions
3.1. Pairing the Device
The device uses Radio Frequency (RF) technology and does not require WiFi or Bluetooth for page-turning functionality. The remote and receiver are pre-paired at the factory. If re-pairing is needed, follow these steps:
- Hold the receiver's button for 3 seconds until the green light stays on.
- Press the turn-page button on the remote, and the green light on the receiver will also flash synchronously, indicating successful pairing.
- Clip the receiver onto your device in a proper position, then you can press the remote button to turn pages freely.

3.2. Receiver Placement
Proper placement of the receiver clip is crucial for optimal performance. The smaller, blue part of the page turner sensor should contact the blue area of the screen (typically the right side for forward page turns).

Important Tip: The thickness of your device with its case cannot exceed 0.45 inches (11.5mm). If the device is too thick, the trigger points of the receiver will not be able to effectively contact the screen, leading to an inability to flip pages normally.

Once the receiver is correctly clipped to your device and paired with the remote, simply press the main button on the remote to turn pages forward. To turn pages backward, adjust the receiver clip to the left side of the screen (if your device supports left-side page turns).
