troubleshoot
Slide disconnecting / odd bluetooth behaviour
If you're experiencing any strange bluetooth behaviour, such as the Slide disconnecting or not connecting at all, it's likely that the Slide has been paired directly to the operating system. If the Slide is directly paired to the operating system then it will compete with the web app or desktop app for the connection. This can cause the Slide to disconnect or not connect at all.
- Unpair the Slide device according to your operating system (see right).
- Triple press, then hold, the Slide button until the light flashes red.
- Triple press, then hold, the Slide button until the light flashes blue.
