# How do I operate a Flex monitor using the SmartPlex app?
## Operate your Flex Monitor directly from the TFT SmartPlex App using an on-screen controller interface. This guide walks you through accessing directional controls, nozzle settings, and auxiliary functions like stow, deploy, and lights—all from your connected smart device.
The TFT SmartPlex App allows full remote control of your Flex Monitor directly from your mobile device. By replicating the functionality of a panel-mounted or wireless controller, it gives operators the flexibility to adjust monitor direction, stream settings, and auxiliary devices on the fly.
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Open the Monitor Hub
- Launch the SmartPlex App on your connected mobile device.
- From the app’s home screen, navigate to the Monitor Hub.
2. Enter Operate Monitor Mode
- Tap Operate Monitor.
- An on-screen controller will appear, visually mimicking the physical controller (wireless or panel mount).
3. Use Monitor Controls
- Directional Movement:
- Use on-screen arrows to move the monitor up, down, left, or right.
- Nozzle Control:
- Adjust the nozzle between straight stream and fog.
- Stow & Deploy:
- Tap Stow to park the monitor.
- Tap Deploy to move it to its pre-set deploy position.
- Oscillate:
- Enable or disable oscillation.
- Auxiliary Controls:
- Control add-ons such as lights, cameras, valves, or extendable guns, depending on what’s connected.
4. Exit Operate Mode
- Tap the serial number shown at the top of the Operate Monitor screen to exit the control mode.
