M.R.F.C. Client

This is not a stand alone App! It must be connected via Bluetooth to a Model Railroad Fast Clock App running on another Android device.

Add multiple Fast Time Clock displays around your Model Railroad Empire!

To use this App, Pair two Android devices (see below). Then load the Model Railroad Fast Clock App on one and this app (M.R.F.C. Client) on the other. Start the clock running and you should see the time displayed on both devices. There may be a delay as the clocks connect to each other.

The distance between the Fast Clock and it's clients is determined by the quality of the Bluetooth transceiver in the Android device used. Most devices have a range of 12 to 18 meters (40 to 60 feet).

For two Android devices to communicate via Bluetooth they must be paired, permissions allowed, and radio turned on. On each device open the settings menu, click “Wireless and Network”, “Bluetooth Settings”, and ensure “Bluetooth” is checked (turned on). On the first device click “Scan Devices”, on the second click “Visible” to make the device visible. When you see the name of the device you want to connect to, click it and then accept the confirmation message that displays on both phones.
