SmartRemote
As soon as the SmartRemote is connected with the micro usb-plug in the socket, the orange light on the SmartRemote will be going to blink. The blinking of the light is an indication the battery is charging.
The SmartRemote has a Li-ion battery. This battery can be charged by connecting the SmartRemote with a micro usb-plug that's plugged in a socket. Charging the battery from completely empty into fully charged will last 4 hours.
In case the SmartRemote is connected with the plug and the orange light is constantly burning, the battery is fully charged.
A fully charged SmartRemote lasts 8 hours with a bluetooth connection. Without bluetooth connection you can use the SmartRemote for 16 hours.
As soon as the battery is almost empty the orange light is starting to blink very fast. From that moment on you can use the SmartRemote for about 30 minutes.
The best way to check if the SmartRemote is empty, is to push the bluetooth button. If the blue light doesn't light up or isn't going to blink, the battery is empty. You have to charge it now.
The normal procedure to connect your phone with the SmartRemote is as follows.

If the connection procedure from above does not create a connection between the SmartRemote and the SmartGoals Sport App this might help you:
1. Check if the SmartRemote is functioning properly without the SmartRemote. Do the SmartLight respond to pressing the buttons on the SmartRemote?
2. Check if the battery of the SmartRemote is not empty. You can check this by pressing a random button on the remote. When the red signal led is blinking for a short period, the remote has enough battery power.
3. Check if the Bluetooth LED is lighting up when the Bluetooth button is pressed. Every time the Bluetooth Button is pressed, the Bluetooth led will keep blinking for 5 seconds.
4. Check if the Bluetooth of your smartphone is enabled. If not, there will be a red bar in the SmartGoals Sport App indicating that: ''Bluetooth is disabled. Please turn it on...''
5. Check if the app can find / discover the SmartRemote in the Settings menu. If the remote can be discovered, the name: SG_Remote_[SETID] should be visible.

SmartLights
If the batteries of the SmartLights are completely empty it takes 12 hours to fully charge them.
If the batteries are not completely empty it can take much less time. The SmartLights will indicate that they are fully charged when they light up blue inside the charger.
You can easily train for 8 hours with a fully charged SmartLight.
When a SmartLight keeps blinking orange inside the frame the two SmartLights are not able to link their Infrared sensors. Something blocks their vision.
Some things that might have happened:
- Something is obstruction the vision of the sensors. A ball, player or some other object is insde the SmartGoal. (Remove the object that blocks the sensor vision.)
- The sunlight is shining directly into one sensor and overwhelmes the sensor sensitivity. (Turn the SmartGoals away from the direct sunlight beam)
- One SmartLights battery is empty. Please charge everything and try again.
When a SmartLight doesn't turn on in the frame the following two things could cause the problem:
- The battery is completely empty. Please charge it before using it again.
- The frame does not have an activation magnet. Please try another SmartLight in the frame to see if this one works out.
If one SmartLight doesn't turn on in a SmartCharger it might be the case that the electric connection is not good enough.
- Make sure the power cable is connected and powered with the power socket.
- Try cleaning the metal parts of the SmartLight as well as the charger to ensure electric connectivity.
- Try turning the SmartLight in a slightly different position until it makes contact and lights up.
If the SmartLight does not turn blue after 12 hours of charging inside a SmartCharger nothing bad is going on. The electric connectivity of the charger might be not 100% connecting.
- Please clean the metal parts of the SmartLight and SmartCharger.
- Turn the SmartLight in a postion that has better electric connectivity.
(When a SmartLight lights up inside the Charger you can be sure that the battery will be charged.)

- Make sure the power cable is connected and powered with the power socket.
- Try cleaning the metal parts of the SmartLight as well as the charger to ensure electric connectivity.
- Try turning the SmartLight in a slightly different position until it makes contact and lights up.
If one side of the Charger does not charge the Smartlights there might be a problem with the electronic connectivity of the charging plates.

One important thing to know is that the SmartGoals App communicates with the SmartRemote and the SmartRemote communicates with the SmartGoals and the other way around.
In order for the SmartGoals App to measure the right scores it is key that the SmartRemote "hears" all the signals that are send by the SmartGoals.
Keep always within 30 meters of all SmartGoals with the SmartRemote to ensure a reliable timing circuit.
