If issues pairing the device to HealthBridge is encountered, taking the batteries out of the device, waiting a few minutes, and then adding them again is a useful troubleshooting step. This is a hard reset on the device. Attempt pairing with the device after this step is taken.
Turn the phone off, wait long enough for the phone to completely close, wait a few more seconds, and reboot the phone. Sometimes just restarting a phone will help to resolve some issues with Bluetooth connectivity.
