Installing the View Quest App
1. Go to the appropriate store for your device; App Store for Apple, Play Store for Android. The simplest
way to nd the View Quest App is to use the search bar at the top of the screen to nd “viewquest” (with
no quote marks). The App is called “View Quest”, it’s free to install and use and its icon looks like this:
2. Install the App by pressing the INSTALL button.
Setting up the connection with your Bardot
1. After you have installed the View Quest App, the next step is to establish a Bluetooth connection
between your remote and your Bardot. Please follow the section “Pairing your Bardot with a Bluetooth
device” on page 25.
2. Having paired successfully, Tap the icon on your remote to start the app.
3. The App splash screen will display briey, then the Radio List screen, which will display your Bardot as an
Unknown Bluetooth device. Click on the Bardot entry, and the app will connect with your Bardot.
You are now in control of your Bardot.
[Optional] Quickly setting up the app display for your remote
The View Quest App automatically optimises its display for the type of device it is running on; it uses a
different layout on a phone (portrait) to a tablet (landscape) . So if you are, for example, using a tablet
in portrait mode, your display may not be optimal. To change this:
1. Tap your device’s menu key (see your device user manual for assistance nding this).
2. Tap the Settings button for settings.
3. Tap the button next to UI type and select Smartphone or Tablet.
4. The display will adapt to the new setting.
[Note] The View Quest App does not rotate in normal use.
[Note] Selecting Tablet UI type on a small device may truncate some information.
Using Auxiliary Input Mode
Auxiliary Input allows for a quick and easy connection to an MP3 player or other external audio
source. You need an audio cable with a 3.5mm jack (not supplied) to connect to your Bardot.
1. Before connecting to the mains socket, connect your external audio
device to the AUX IN socket on the rear of your Bardot.
2. Connect the power adapter to the mains socket, press the POWER button to switch your Bardot on.
3. Press the SOURCE button repeatedly until Auxiliary Input appears on the display.
In this mode, you control your audio device through its own controls. Volume levels on both the audio
device and your Bardot may need to be adjusted for optimal volume and clarity.
Remotely Controlling your Bardot with an Android or iOS device
You can turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote control for your Bardot with the free View Quest
App.
What you can do with the View Quest App
• Sources: switch between Bluetooth, Dab/DAB+, FM and Auxiliary
• DAB/DAB+, FM: adjust volume, channels and presets, display RadioVIS information
• Bluetooth: change tracks and adjust volume
• AUX-IN: adjust the volume
You can also manage equaliser presets and tell your Bardot to standby or wake up, and all of this without
leaving your chair.
What tablet or smartphone do you need for a remote?
For Apple devices, the App is compatible with all iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices running iOS 3.1.3 or
later (also iPad and iPad 2 devices in iPhone compatibility mode). For Android devices, Android 2.2 or later
is supported.
Your device needs Bluetooth and you need to be able to install apps from the appropriate app store.
Note: We’ll refer to your Apple or Android device as your “Remote” from now on.
