Bluetooth problems

If a Bluetooth keyboard or Bluetooth output (computer or iPad) will not connect, drops out, or behaves oddly, the most reliable fix is to unpair and pair again:

  1. On echolocation, open the Bluetooth settings for the keyboard or computer connection.
  2. Forget / unpair the device from echolocation.
  3. On the keyboard, computer, or iPad, also forget echolocation (or the keyboard) in that device’s Bluetooth settings if it still appears there.
  4. Pair again from scratch using Connecting a keyboard or Connecting an output device.

Clearing the old pairing on both sides avoids half-connected states that are hard to recover from.

Reset button

If the device freezes, will not wake, or Bluetooth still misbehaves after re-pairing, press the reset button on the front of the CoreS3 (the round button marked with a circular arrow, next to the microSD slot). That restarts echolocation without wiping your settings.

See Power for where the power and reset buttons are, and how to charge the device.
