Pair Aidlab with your smartphone (iOS or Android) or compatible smartwatch before your first connected measurement. You do not need to wear Aidlab while pairing. Put it on after the connection is confirmed and before you start recording or working out.
Connect Aidlab to your smartphone
Pairing lets Aidlab send data to your smartphone and synchronize measurements. Once connected, you can use the app to view live values, review trends, check workout history, and export data.
Steps to connect Aidlab to your smartphone
- Enable Bluetooth: turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and keep it close to Aidlab.
- Turn on Aidlab: press and hold the power button on Aidlab for 1 second.
- Check the LED: fast pulsing means Aidlab is on but not connected over Bluetooth.

- Confirm pairing: once connected, the LED will pulse slowly.
- Put Aidlab on: adjust the chest strap and confirm that live data appears in the app.
