There are many possible causes for a disconnection.
To reconnect, please follow these instructions step by step until your connection is fixed.
Bring devices close
It might be that your CardioWatch and your mobile device are too far away from each other, thus unable to communicate. Place your mobile device close to your CardioWatch.
Enable Bluetooth
Please check that Bluetooth is turned on on your mobile device settings. It not, please enable it.
Give Location permission
On Android devices, the location is used by the Bluetooth pairing process to locate the devices nearby. Please check that the location permission is on for the Corsano app on your mobile device settings.
