You should receive a prompt to pair. Confirm it when it appears.

Make sure Bluetooth and Location permissions are enabled on your phone.
Restart the app and keep the tabs close to the phone.

Forget or delete any saved “Dharma Dr.” devices.
Restart the Dharma Dr. app.

Troubleshooting Checklist

Only one tab connects? Put both tabs back in the case, wait 10 seconds, then try again.
Bluetooth already used? Try manual pairing to override the old connection.
