Scope Remote User Guide

Everything you need to know to get the most out of your Scope Remote for Anki

Getting Started

Title

Power On/Off

Power-ON:

Hold down the START button for about 3 seconds until the blue LED lights up. Make sure to press the button firmly-it's designed to withstand the pressure.

Power-OFF:

Switch the Scope Remote to GAME mode and hold the START button until the blue LED turns off. Alternatively, disconnect from Bluetooth and then press and hold the START button until the blue LED goes out.

Important!

Ensure that you turn off your Scope Remote when not in use to prevent unnecessary battery drain. This could lead to frequent recharging before each Anki session.

Pro-tip:

To check if your Scope Remote is on or off, just press the START button for 1 second. If the light flashes blue, then your Scope Remote is on.

Bluetooth Pairing

 

1.  Enter Pairing Mode:

  • Press and hold the START button until the blue light flashes twice, then release it.
  • If the light flashes once per second, the remote is in Pairing Mode.

To check if your Scope Remote is on or off, just press the START button for 1 second. If the light flashes blue, then your Scope Remote is on.

Connecting to Another Device

To prevent your Scope Remote from disconnecting during sessions, we've implemented protection for the Bluetooth connection.

Switching Devices:

1. Go to Bluetooth settings on your current device

2. Select "Forget This Device" or right-click the Scope Remote and choose "Remove"

3. The remote will automatically enter pairing mode (indicated by flashing blue lights)

4. You can now sync it with your new device

Pro Tip for Multiple Devices:

If you frequently switch between multiple devices, it's recommended to simply disconnect the remote from Bluetooth at the end of a session. This way, you can quickly reconnect by just turning it on when needed.

Remote Modes

Title

Pre-programmed Modes

The Scope Anki Remote comes with two pre-programmed modes. Let's examine how to access the modes and how they differ from one another.

How to Switch Between Modes

The side of the Scope Remote has the modes labeled.

  • If the mode bar is upwards, then it is in the GAME mode.
  • If the mode bar is downwards, then it is in the KEY mode.

Key Mode

Designed to provide all the essential functions you need to start solving decks in Anki.

Game Mode

Specifically designed for one-by-one and image occlusion cards. Navigate through your cards without interrupting your flow.

In both modes, the Space-bar is the button in the middle since it is the most used button in Anki (required to 'reveal card' and choose 'good' to move to the next card). We decided to keep it closest to your thumb so your time spent per card is as low as possible.

Settings for Ipad Users

The 'Game Mode' on the Scope remote was specifically developed to offer preset configurations optimized for iPad users. Conversely, the 'Key Mode' is intended to provide a platform for extensive customization, primarily for laptop users.

 

Unfortunately, the Anki Remote requires an add-on for customization, and devices like iPads that don't support add-ons won't have custom key mappings available. The customization feature that would allow you to map the undo function to a button is only available when using the remote with computers that can run the add-on.

 

You can still use all the core features of the remote on your iPad, but the button mapping will be limited to the default configuration.

Customization

How to Customize

Add-on Code: 2052746015

1. Download the Anki Remote add-on

Get it from AnkiWeb or add the following code under your Anki Add-ons: 1544884645

 

2. Customize your buttons

Click on any dropdown menu and change any button to whatever function you want.

 

3. Save your settings

Once you customize a mode in the add-on, you must save it.

Important Notice!

If you switch modes on the remote, you must switch the mode on the remote first, head over to the add-on and switch the mode in the add-on as well and press save. This way, the add-on recognizes which mode the remote is on and is able to function according to your customizations.

Common Issues

"The B button is not responding"

 

The 'B' button is programmed to different outputs depending on the remote’s mode.

 

By default, the B button functions as 'Again' in Key mode and as 'Next Cloze' in Game mode. If you are getting an unexpected output, ensure your Scope Remote is set to the right mode.

 

If you have customized your remote through our add-on, make sure the mode on the remote corresponds to the one you have selected on the add-on.
Additionally, please remember to press ‘Save’ on the add-on after you switch modes.

Battery Percentage Issue

 

"My computer always indicates that the scope remote is out of charge whenever I connect it."

The initial batch of remotes was manufactured without a module that reports its battery percentage to the connected computer. As a result, your computer cannot accurately read the battery status. We recommend using the light signals to determine the battery level instead.

 

Remote Acting Strange?

 

 

If your Scope Remote is behaving unexpectedly, you may need to reset it.

 

1. Insert a pin or needle into the hole and press the button for 10 seconds.

2. Turn your remote off and back on again

3. Try to connect to your computer again.
