What is the Legacy Bluetooth Mode?
With Firmware 4 comes changes to how Bluetooth operates, which can cause compatibility issues with apps and 3rd party software that depended on the way the Old Bluetooth functioned. To help mitigate that, we made a special mode that can be accessed using only the buttons on the device so you can then swap to the Legacy Bluetooth and connect to said apps such as Handyverse App.
How do I access the Legacy Bluetooth Mode?
For you to be able to connect using Legacy Bluetooth Mode, please follow these simple steps:
Hold Button UP
While holding UP, long press the Action button
If done correctly, the Handy will change from whichever mode it was previously on to a Blue LED to indicate the change, once it reaches this stage, you can safely connect to the apps that necessitate this connection
When should I use this mode?
Usually, this mode is to help troubleshoot your connection and to connect to apps like Handyverse or any other 3rd Party Software that depended on Bluetooth. It can also help you troubleshoot software that currently is having issues with Firmware 4, this way you can best determine which mode operates better for your usage.
I can't access this mode, what do I do?
