Switching On/Off A new QuikSpot needs a 1s few seconds of charge to disable its shipping mode ON before it can be switched on. 1x OFF 4. Charging While the power cable is connected, the display shows the charging status. Charge immediately when the battery is empty. Do not store the unit when the battery is empty. Charging time is approximately 4 hours. 5. Connect BTB To control your lights with the AsteraApp, first connect a Bluetooth Bridge (BTB). It forwards the AsteraApp signal to paired lights. You may use an AsteraBox as BTB or choose a light with built-in BTB, like QuikSpot, AX9, NYX Bulb, PixelBrick, Titan Tube BTB, Helios Tube BTB. Connect AsteraBox as BTB Please power on the AsteraBox. Connect the AsteraBox directly from the AsteraApp main menu by following the instructions there. Connect a light as BTB Please note: This ONLY works for Astera lights with built-in Bluetooth. For all other Astera lights, please use an AsteraBox as BTB. Please power on the light. Hold down the power button for 3 seconds until the light flashes blue. In the AsteraApp press ,,Manage Bluetooth Bridges", then "+" and follow instructions on screen to connect. The light which is connected as BTB shows a small Bluetooth Icon in the display. 1.
