Could not convince all

The Mantona remote is 8.5 x 3 cm very handy and easy to use. It is provided with clear symbols and has a range of up to 10 meters. You should come to my iPod Touch 4th generation is used, which is connected via cable fixed to a Soundbar, and control the music playback my almost 2 year old MacMinis connected via Bluetooth to a speaker in another room.

After several attempts, the remote control is found from the corresponding devices and can be combined. On Touch the Sound control works flawlessly, even on locked with PIN device. It works even while using another application - for example, so I can while I surf the Internet, using the remote control to skip a title. It solves problems of the camera can lock the screen or adjust its brightness. In certain ads, such as when composing an email, the screen keyboard on or be hidden, which she will not reveal to me the purpose of this function - I have to capture the text on the Touch, I and the device anyway in hand this do not need remote control. On my Mac Mini to control the music playback works as reliably as the control slide shows within iPhoto and playing DVD files on iDVD.

My smartphone Samsung Galaxy K Zoom can be connected easily and music control - on a locked device with PIN - works perfectly, as long as the music playback is in the foreground. Similarly, can be regulated and lock the screen, whereas the camera can cause the brightness. The connection with my old iMac (made in late 2006) is not possible.

One shortcoming of this remote control is with me that the Bluetooth connection is unstable - it breaks very often and has to be re-established. In addition, I have often - and almost always when switching between touch and MacMini - remove the remote control from the device list and re-coupling, which is quite annoying - why that happens, I have not yet figured out.

As long as the connection is established, the remote control is really helpful Mantona and saves me some way. Only the regular terminating connection, partly with necessary Neukopplung, is reason for my point deduction.
