How To Enable Wireless Mode On Milwaukee One-key |
Step 1: Download the ONE-KEY App -- Your Magical Gateway
First things first, you'll need the ONE-KEY app. Think of it as your digital handshake with your Milwaukee masterpiece. Download it from the app store that tickles your fancy (Apple or Android, we don't judge). Just search for "Milwaukee ONE-KEY" and download that bad boy. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Step 2: Befriending Your Tool -- The Not-So-Secret Pairing Ritual
Now, with your app in hand and your trusty Milwaukee by your side, it's time for the grand pairing ceremony. Make sure your tool is powered on and has an M18 battery inserted (don't forget the batteries, folks, or this whole thing becomes a mime show). Open the ONE-KEY app and navigate to the "Add Item" section. This is where the app scans for nearby ONE-KEY compatible tools, so make sure your phone and your Milwaukee are within Bluetooth whispering distance (think 30-50 feet).
Once your tool appears on the screen, tap it gently, like a knight dubbing their squire. Voila! You've just established a connection that would make Romeo and Juliet weep with joy (or maybe that's just the fumes from that old paint can in the corner).
