Step 2: Turn your Perifit on. You should see the green led blinking fast. 

Step 3: Open BLE Scanner and turn on Bluetooth on your Phone. You will see a list of nearby Bluetooth devices including Perifit (if you don't see any Perifit try restarting Bluetooth). Send us an email if this step fails.

Step 4: Click on "Connect" button next to the Perifit device. You will notice a list of "Services". Find out the one called "Device Info Service" and click on it. Send us an email if this step fails.
