• Enable Bluetooth — Make sure Bluetooth is ON on your phone.

• Grant permissions — Allow the app to use Bluetooth and Location Services.

• Enable GPS (Android only) — Android requires GPS to be ON for Bluetooth communication.

• Disconnect other devices — Phones have connection limits (10-16 devices).
