Please find a good list below if the machine or the app is having issues with connecting/disconnecting, not working properly etc.
- Bluetooth disconnect - If the app is connecting/disconnecting continuously, please do the following:
- Check the RSSI Value: Click three times on the “touch to connect” text (iPhone/iPad). If the -RSSI value is more then -85, it’s considered a bad connection. A value between -50 to -85 is considered ok connection. The higher the number (example -90) the worst the signal is.
