Bluetooth pairing

"Pairing" is when your computer/tablet/phone remembers your Mindwave Mobile headset, and your Mindwave Mobile headset allows that computer/tablet/phone to connect to it. Note that this is different from "connecting", which is when the computer/tablet/phone is actively sending or receiving data and information.

You must first pair each of your computers/tablets/phones to your MindWave Mobile headset in order for them to connect to each other. To do so:

• Put the Mindwave Mobile headset into "Pairing Mode" by holding the On/O? switch past the "On" position for 3 seconds.
• Important: Release the switch when the light starts ashing blue. If you continue holding for more than 6 seconds, the MindWave Mobile headset will clear all previously remembered pairings.
• Refer to the Bluetooth pairing instructions that came with your iOS, Android, PC, or Mac device to search for and pair to the MindWave Mobile headset.
• If prompted, enter "0000" for the authentication key.
• Your MindWave Mobile headset can "pair/remember" up to 3 computers/tablets/phones at the same time.

Bluetooth Connection

Depending on your computer/tablet/phone, it may automatically connect to the headset whenever an application needs to use the headset. If your Bluetooth software does not automatically connect when an app is started, please refer to the Bluetooth connecting instructions that came with your iOS, Android, PC, or Mac device to manually connect to the headset before running your apps.

Serial/COM Port Name or Number

Some games and applications will ask for you to enter the serial COM port name or number for the game or application to connect to the headset. Use the Bluetooth software on your computer/tablet/-phone to determine the COM port name or number that your MindWave Mobile has been assigned to.
