Blitzl Installation and Basics
When you are in the vicinity of a Blitzer, its chosen Category will appear on your Home screen. To start a conversation, simply tap on that Category and then its name. You can send the owner of the Blitzer a message and start a chat. Now you can also join the Blitzer to receive broadcast messages from its owner.
To Set Up Your Own Blitzer:
Go to Settings/Manage Blitzers and select a Blitzer with a unique sensor code in range;
Follow the steps to configure the Blitzl Free mobile phone as sensor and/or Pro IP67 Blitzl sensor(s) with your preferred Category and Content;

Set Up Blitzers
Blitzers can be edited or deleted at any time. You cannot see your own Blitzers on the Home page - just the Blitzers of others in range. Note that when using portable individual mobile phone Blitzl sensor mode you can only see the Blitzers of others in the Home screen when both have the app opened.
