My Bluetooth pyrometer is not connecting to my Squadle tablet. How do I fix this?

There may come a time when your Bluetooth pyrometer does not connect to your Squadle iPad automatically. You'll notice this issue if after going to a temperature check in the Squadle Checklists application and the task action requiring a temperature (e.g. Portion #1, Product Temperature) does not highlight in red.

1. Confirm that Bluetooth is on by going to Settings - Bluetooth and making sure that the setting is On.

2. Confirm that the Squadle Checklists settings has Bluetooth enabled by going to Settings. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Look for Squadle Workflow/Checklist. 
   
   

   Once in the Application make sure thet the Bluetooth Option is Enable. 

   
   
    

3. Confirm that Bluetooth is on and enabled within the Checklist settings. If it's off, turn it on and then exit out of Settings.
4. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and power off your Bluetooth pyrometer.
5. Force quit out of the Squadle Checklists application or turn off your Squadle iPad.
6. Turn on your Squadle iPad if you turned it off. Re-open the Squadle Checklists application.
7. Turn on your Bluetooth pyrometer.
8. After your digital checklists load in the Checklists application, access a temperature check to verify that it is now connected.

Customers utilizing older versions of the MFT pyrometer firmware may encounter operational difficulties. Specifically, temperature readings may take an excessive amount of time to stabilize or may fail to stabilize entirely. Updating the firmware to the latest version resolves these performance issues.

If you are experiencing any issues with your hardware or the connection process, please contact support for assistance.
