DIAGNOSIS: The Bluetooth handshake between your phone and the scooter's controller is failing. This is often a device permission or proximity issue.
FIX: 1. Turn the scooter power ON. 2. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings and delete/forget any existing "TurboAnt" or "V8" devices. 3. Force close the TurboAnt app, then reopen it. 4. With the scooter within 3 feet of your phone, initiate the pairing process from within the app only, not your phone's main Bluetooth menu.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: The scooter's Bluetooth module may need a hard reset. Turn the scooter OFF, wait 60 seconds, then turn it back ON. Ensure your phone's Location/GPS services are enabled, as this is required for Bluetooth pairing on many Android devices.
HEADS UP: The scooter's Bluetooth signal is weak. For reliable pairing and connection, keep your phone within a 5-foot radius of the scooter's deck, not the handlebars.
