Will Dharma Dr Work Without Internet Access?

Yes. Dharma Dr Tabs do not require an internet connection for standard use. The Tabs connect to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, which means you can run sessions anywhere — even without Wi-Fi or mobile data.

When Internet Is Not Required

• Independent Mode: Use the Tabs without the app at default light and vibration settings.
• Standard sessions in the app: Lights, vibration, audio BLS, presets, and session timers work entirely offline after the app is installed.
• Travel and offline use: You can use Dharma Dr in airplanes, remote areas, or places without cell service.

When Internet Is Required

• App installation and updates: You need internet to download the Dharma Dr app and install updates from the App Store or Google Play.
• Remote Access sessions: Internet is required when a therapist connects to control your Tabs remotely.
• Support tickets: Internet is required if you need to contact Dharma Dr support.

Troubleshooting

• Can’t connect without Wi-Fi: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device — internet is not needed for this step.
• App won’t open offline: Update to the latest version to ensure full offline functionality.
• Features missing offline: Only Remote Access and cloud-dependent features require internet. Standard sessions should still work.

Tips & Best Practices

• Download the app and updates while connected to Wi-Fi before traveling.
• Charge your Tabs fully before use in remote locations.
• Use Independent Mode for quick access if your phone battery is low or unavailable.
