Got your sensor charged? Great — let's get it connected to your phone. Pairing only takes a minute and you'll only ever need to do it once.

📡 Pairing Your Sensor

  1. Wake up your sensor — give it a tap or a shake. Within a few seconds it'll start broadcasting and appear in the app

  2. Open the Phreno app on your iPhone or iPad

  3. Go to Settings → Bluetooth within the app

  4. Select your device from the Nearby Devices list

  5. Tap Connect — after a brief moment, you're paired!

Once paired, you're all set. From now on, your sensor will connect automatically every time you open the app, as long as it's nearby and charged.

✅ How to Know It's Connected

Look for the status indicator in the top-right corner of the app — it'll show Connected in green when your sensor is successfully linked. You can also head to the Bluetooth settings page in the app to see your sensor's current firmware version.

🔧 Having Trouble Connecting?

Don't worry — here are a few things to try:

  • Check the battery — make sure your sensor is charged and close to your phone

  • Toggle Bluetooth — turn it off and back on in your iPhone's settings

  • Plug the sensor in briefly — even just for a moment, this can help reset the connection

  • Shake the sensor — after a period of inactivity, the sensor enters sleep mode to save battery. A little shake will wake it right back up

  • Restart the Phreno app — close it fully and reopen it

If you see a firmware update prompt after connecting, just follow the on-screen instructions to get the latest version installed.
