  If the Bluetooth radio interface is unable to find the battery with the app, it could be due to two reasons: the Bluetooth radio interface on the battery or mobile device is deactivated, so you should activate it. Also the distance between the battery and mobile device is too long, so you should reduce the distance.

  If your Stihl Paint Sprayer isn't drawing up plant protection product, the pump may be stuck or the filter/spraying unit could be clogged. First, fill the container, insert the battery, and switch on the sprayer. Keep the spray gun switch lever pressed for about 1 minute. If it still doesn't work, stop using the sprayer and contact your STIHL dealer. Also, try cleaning the filter and spray attachment.

To attempt to fix this: * Remove the battery. * Drain the container completely. * Insert the battery and switch on the sprayer. * Squeeze the trigger switch for 30 seconds. * Refill the container.
