Note: - The RS-MS1A may not work with all Android devices, even if it is one of the tested devices. This is because an application program on your device may conflict with the RS-MS1A. - You may need to install additional file managing and image processing software. - Your Android device must be USB host function compatible to communicate with your transceiver through the data cable. Even if your device is USB host function compatible, the RS-MS1A may not function properly. - You may need to connect to the Internet through a Wireless LAN, a 3G network or an LTE network for some functions. - The RS-MS1A supports only portrait orientation. It does not support Auto Rotate. - Remove the data cable when the Android device is not used to reduce the devices power consumption - The RS-MS1A program may lock up while transmitting some high-quality or large-sized image files, or continuously operating for a long time. In that case, restart the program. - Depending on the Android device, the power supplied to the USB terminal may be stopped while in the display sleep mode or power saving mode. In that case, remove the “Screen timeout” check mark on the Application Setting screen of the RS-MS1A.
