Remote Buddy FAQ

What can cause a connection to the BD Remote to be closed?

Any of the following can cause the closure of a connection:

  1. A respective setting in the energy saving options of the "Bluetooth Receiver" in Remote Buddy - to be found under Preferences > Hardware > Bluetooth Receiver
  2. A long press on the PS button of the remote control. The BD Remote does then close the Bluetooth connection by itself
  3. Leaving the range of the the remote control
  4. A low battery power level
  5. A too strong shielding of the Bluetooth receiver in your Mac (for example when your Mac is housed in a shelf or rack). We have one user report of shielding leading to dead spots, in which the Bluetooth connection breaks together.
