      How do I test Trek signal strength on the Parsyl Passport?

      Trek Signal Strength is an indicator of how quickly data will be transferred from a Trek to a Passport.

      What is Trek Signal Strength?

      Treks that are in the medium or strong range will transfer data at the fastest rate. Treks that show a weak range will take longer and/or might not consistently transfer data to a Passport.

      Step by Step

      1. Open the Parsyl mobile app, scan the QR code on the front of the Passport, then press the blue button on the left side of the Passport. 
      2. Select Test Trek Signal to see Treks in range.
      3. A list of Treks will appear, ordered by signal strength. No further action is  needed for Treks with a medium or strong signal.

      Improving Trek signal strength

      • Moving the Passport can improve Trek signal strength. 
      • The fewer barriers in between the Passport and the Trek(s), the better the signal strength will be.  After you move the Passport, you need to retest the signal strength.

      Retesting Trek signal strength

      1. Exit the Passport detail page.
      2. Move or reposition the Passport or Treks.
      3. Wait 3 minutes and then reconnect to the Passport.
      4. Select the Test Trek Signal.

      Note: The Passport cannot scan for Treks while connected to the mobile phone. To rescan for nearby Treks after adjusting their positioning, close the app, wait 3 minutes, and then reconnect to the Passport.
