Bluetooth®

To get the best from your Bluetooth® connection, please refer to the recommendations shown below.
You can use your Bluetooth® connection:

  • to send messages to another Kurio Watch,
  • to send messages to an Android Smartphone or tablet using our Kurio Watch Messaging app (download free from Google Play),
  • to play 2 Player Tic Tac Toe and Battleship with another Kurio Watch,
  • as a Bluetooth® peripheral of an Android Smartphone or tablet (for example, to place or receive a call with your Kurio Watch or to listen to music through your Kurio Watch’s speaker).

Just like you connect another Kurio Watch, a Bluetooth® headset is like a classic device. You can follow the Bluetooth® connection principles listed before.

By default the Smartphones are sharing the contacts with the Bluetooth® devices. To avoid any unfortunate calls, go into your smartphone Bluetooth® settings and set the sharing parameters to un-authorize the contacts sharing.

  1. Important: Bluetooth® can only actively connect one device at a time. If you need to disconnect from one device (like another Kurio Watch) to connect to another device, simply shutoff the Kurio Watch and turn it back on. That will allow you to connect to a new device.
  2. Bluetooth® normally has a range of up to 33 feet.
  3. Bluetooth® connection is OFF by default to extend battery life. It is good practice to switch Bluetooth® to OFF when not using it.
  4. Any time you are having difficulties with Bluetooth®, a simple reset by turning the Kurio Watch off and back on will usually solve the problem.
  1. Turn Bluetooth® on. From the drop down menu on the Kurio Watch, touch the ‘Bluetooth® icon’ to turn it blue (when it is blue, it means that the Bluetooth® is ON).
  2. Search for nearby devices –
    Go to ‘SETTINGS’, select ‘SYSTEM’, ‘BLUETOOTH®’, and ‘MY DEVICE’. Touch ‘SCAN’, and let the unit scan for nearby devices.
    This will detect all Bluetooth® devices:

    • Within a 33 feet range.
    • Whose Bluetooth® has been turned on.
    • Which are visible to other devices.
    • Which are not already connected to other devices.
  3. Select the device you want to connect to.
  4. The devices will pair and connect, touch ‘Yes’ when the passcode shows on the screen. The device will undergo a similar process.
  5. Allow your device to connect.
  6. Once the connection has been established, you will see a small logo 0-0 near the name of the corresponding device on your Kurio Watch. Press ‘Back’ to quit the Settings menu.
    1. Your Kurio Watch shows the ‘CONNECTING’ message for a long time and does not seem to be able to connect. If the ‘CONNECTING’ message shows for more than 20 sec approx., sw.itch both devices off and try to connect again (check that Bluetooth® is switched on)
    2. Your Kurio Watch displays a ‘CONNECTION FAILED’ message. Try pairing again – if that does not work, switch both devices off and try to connect again (check that Bluetooth® is switched on).
    3. When pairing to another device, sometimes the Kurio Watch requires the other device to initiate the pairing process. In these cases, simply ask the owner of the other device to initiate the pairing / connection from his / her device.
    4. When scanning, your Kurio Watch cannot see/find the device to which you want to connect. Ensure the Bluetooth® connection on that device is turned on and that it is visible. Ensure the device is not actively connected to another device. If it is, it must first disconnect from that device before being visible and being able to connect to the Kurio Watch.
    5. Your Kurio Watch does not show up when other devices scan. Ensure the Bluetooth® connection on your Kurio Watch is on and that it visible to other devices. (You can check the status in ‘SETTINGS / SYSTEM / BLUETOOTH® / VISIBILITY’ (status must be ON)).

    Ensure your Kurio Watch is not actively connected to another device. If it is, it must first disconnect from that device before being visible and being able to connect to the device of your choice.
