Notes:

• Users of Android version 6 and higher may have to change the permissions of the app to be able to connect via BLE. To do so, go to Settings > Apps > Withings > Permissions and enable Location.
• If the watch was previously installed with the same phone, make sure to “forget” your device in the Bluetooth settings and uninstalled in the Withings App”
• A low battery could cause detection issues. Changing the battery could help.
