Here we will explain how to tell the Orbiter what room you are in so that you can choose scenarios from that room.

The mobile orbiters (the mobile phones) use a different technology called Bluetooth. Your media directors normally have a Bluetooth dongle which is the transmitter. The range for Bluetooth is much shorter-about 30 feet or 10 meters from the transmitter. The mobile orbiters can, therefore, usually determine what room you are in because the media director in that room will detect a much stronger signal strength from your mobile phone than the other media directors. With the mobile orbiter, whenever you enter a room with a media director the mobile orbiter automatically switches to that room and shows you the scenarios for that room. Of course you can still manually override this and tell the mobile orbiter what room you want to control. You can control any room in the house-not just the room you are in.
