  • Updated

Who is this for?

You use Bluetooth pairing to connect the Eko device to the Eko App. This is what gets heart sound data from the Eko device to the app. If the two aren’t paired or they have a poor Bluetooth connection, the app won’t receive the data.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile device

2. Connect your Eko device

Tips for Bluetooth connection

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile device

Follow your mobile device’s instructions for turning on Bluetooth. When Bluetooth is on, the icon on your mobile device will look like this:

After a successful connection, the light on the Eko device will turn from flashing to solid. From now on, the app automatically connects to the Eko device when:

  • Bluetooth is turned on for your mobile device, and

  • The Eko device is turned on.

Note

An error message shows if the Eko device isn’t connected to Bluetooth or connection is lost. You can retry connecting the Eko device with the app.

Tips for Bluetooth connection

Reduce distance

Make sure there aren’t objects such as walls, furniture, or people between the Eko device and your mobile device. Tips to improve Bluetooth connection:

  • Reduce the distance between the Eko device and your mobile device.

  • Allow a line of sight between the Eko device and your mobile device.

Lost connection

You’ll lose Bluetooth connection if you force close the Eko App or turn off the Eko device. The LED light on the Eko device blinks white when it’s no longer connected.

To regain connection:

  • Turn on the Eko device.

  • Open the Eko App and re-pair the Eko device.
