TROUBLESHOOTING
If you’re having trouble still getting your Bluetooth scale to work for you, here are a few things to look at:
1. Make sure your Bluetooth is toggled on in your settings. Sounds silly, but it happens.
2. If you have an iOS device and you’re looking for the Bluetooth scale to show up in your Bluetooth settings on your phone, STOP! As mentioned above, the scale will not appear in your device settings so please stop looking for it to appear.
3. When you use the scale for the first time, you should see a notification pop-up on your device asking permission to access the scale. Hit “Ok” in order to allow it to.
If you own an iOS device, here is a way to check if the bluetooth is on inside the app (Android does not have this option).
Go to Settings on your device and scroll down until you see the Bar Patrol App icon.
Once you select it, you’ll want to make sure that the Bluetooth is toggled on.
Now that you’ve ensured that your Bluetooth is on everywhere, go back to the instructions above and test it out.
