How do I connect my Motion or Motion Sport to my phone?
The connection process is the same for both the NOLATR Motion and Motion Sport.
1. Turn on the Motion
First, make sure your Motion or Motion Sport is sufficiently charged and switched on.
The button on the band is simply the on/off button. You do not need to use this button to activate Bluetooth or enter a special pairing mode.
- Green light: the Motion is switched on.
- Red light: the Motion is switched off.
Once you see the green light, the Motion is on and can be detected by the NOLATR app.
2. Open the NOLATR app
Enable Bluetooth on your phone and open the NOLATR app.
Go to:
Profile → Connect Device → Search Again
Make sure you allow the NOLATR app to use Bluetooth if prompted.
3. Look for the DS code
The Motion and Motion Sport may appear with a DS code or DS number when searching for the device. This means you may not see the name 'Motion' or 'Motion Sport' displayed.
This is completely normal.
Tap the detected DS device in the NOLATR app and wait a few seconds for the connection to be established.
Important: Always pair your Motion or Motion Sport through the NOLATR app, not directly through your phone's Bluetooth settings.
4. First synchronization
Once connected, synchronization will start automatically. During the first connection, it may take several minutes before all available data becomes visible.
Keep the NOLATR app open for a few minutes after pairing and leave Bluetooth enabled.
Some measurements, such as sleep, HRV, stress and recovery, only become available after sufficient data has been collected. We therefore recommend wearing your Motion throughout the day and night. With a new device, it may take several hours to a few days before a more complete overview of your measurements is available.
Can't find your Motion?
Please check the following:
- Is the Motion switched on? Green light = switched on.
- Is the Motion sufficiently charged?
- Is Bluetooth enabled on your phone?
- Does the NOLATR app have permission to use Bluetooth?
- Is the Motion still connected to another phone, tablet or iPad?
If you see a DS code in your phone's Bluetooth settings that is already paired, select it and choose 'Forget This Device'.
Then completely close the NOLATR app and open it again. Go to Profile → Connect Device → Search Again and select the DS code from within the NOLATR app.
If the device is still not found, restart your phone and repeat the steps above.
Do I need to pair the Motion every time?
No. After the first successful pairing, you do not need to pair your Motion or Motion Sport again each time. As long as Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, the band can automatically reconnect and synchronize when you open the NOLATR app.
