- The battery of your Pulse HR is empty
- The screen of your Pulse HR is stuck on 1009
- You have trouble finding your Pulse HR via Bluetooth

Note: if the Withings App remains on Configuring your device, please forget the watch from the Bluetooth setting of your phone. Log out of the Withings App, delete the app and reinstall it. Log back in, and attempt to configure the tracker again.

Before proceeding with these steps, please make sure that your device is compatible with Pulse HR.
 

The battery of your Pulse HR is empty

When you first receive your Pulse HR, it is possible that the device will not power because the battery will be depleted. Charging the Pulse HR for a full two hours will allow you to install and begin using your tracker.

The screen of your Pulse HR is stuck on 1009

If the screen of your Pulse HR is stuck on 1009 or if nothing happens when you press the button, make sure that you have removed the sticker from the screen before installing the device.

You have trouble finding your Pulse HR via Bluetooth

1. Make sure your Pulse HR is close enough to your mobile device (1 m/3-4 ft.).
2. Make sure your Pulse HR displays "go.withings.com" when you press the button.
   If it doesn't, try to charge your tracker. If your Pulse HR displays the current time instead of "go.withings.com", try to perform a factory reset.
3. Disable and re-enable Bluetooth on your mobile device, if necessary.
4. Check if your Pulse HR has already been paired with your phone. To do so, go to the Settings of your mobile device, select Bluetooth and locate the Pulse HR in the list of devices. Select the small icon to the right of the watch and select the option to Forget or Remove the device.

If you still encounter this issue, reach out to Customer Service by clicking the Contact us button at the bottom of the page.

Note: Android users may have to change the permissions of the app to be able to connect via BLE. To do so, go to Settings > Apps > Withings App > Permissions and enable Location.

Your Pulse HR doesn't restart after the installation

If your Pulse HR doesn't restart after the installation, try to perform a factory reset. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the Settings of your mobile device, select Bluetooth and locate Pulse HR in the list of devices. Select the small icon to the right of the watch and select the option to Forget or Remove the device. 
2. Press and hold the button of your Pulse HR until the information screen is displayed.
   
3. Click the button briefly to display “Factory reset”.
4. Press the button again until “Reset in 5 clicks” is displayed.
5. Click the button five times to effectively reset your tracker.
6. Try the installation process again.
      

The setup process fails

 If the setup process fails:

1. Make sure you have access to the internet on your mobile device.
2. Make sure that you don't put the app in background during the installation process.
3. Make sure that your mobile device is not asleep during the installation process.
4. Keep your Pulse HR close to your mobile device during the installation process.

Note: if your Withings App says that the PIN or pairing code is incorrect, it means that your mobile device needs to be restarted.
