  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A WIRELESS CONNECTION BETWEEN POWER TOOL AND MOBILE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20230254913
    Abstract: A method and system for connecting a power tool with a mobile device. The mobile device receives a user request to connect to a power tool and transmits a short-range advertisement. The power tool receives the short-range advertisement and transmits a signal. The mobile device receives the signal from the power tool and determines a signal strength. The mobile device compares the signal strength to a predetermined signal strength value. When the signal strength value exceeds the predetermined signal strength value, the mobile device connects with the power tool.
