Be sure to check the article -  connecting for the first time HERE

Before connecting prepare your POWERUP 4.0

• Make sure that the POWERUP is fully charged.
• Turn the switch to the ON position (it's a tiny switch located behind the antenna).
• The LED will blink slowly in a bright blue color.

Before connecting prepare your smartphone

• Enable location services on your phone.
• Check your smartphone's compatibility compatible phones.
• Install the latest POWERUP app.
• Turn on your phone’s Bluetooth.
• Turn off your phone’s WiFi.

How to connect

• Open the app. and click the fly button, the app will display "NOT CONNECTED" until a connection is established.
• Bring the POWERUP close to the smartphone. Pairing is done by proximity between phone and smart module, just "Touch & Go". this should take up to 3 seconds.
• When the connection is established the POWERUP LED will double blink, the app "searching" note will disappear and fly screen will open, and the battery level and dBm level will show. 

Troubleshooting:

• Make sure that WiFi is turned off and Bluetooth is turned on.
• For Android smartphones, check that "location" services are enabled
• You might need to restart your phone if it doesn't connect. 
• If the app keeps showing "searching" and the module doesn't connect, restart the module, kill the app (force stop it) and launch it again.
• Make sure no one else has already connected to your POWERUP. If the LED light blinks twice every second, it means it is already connected to another phone. Turn the module off and on again, move away from other phones, bring the POWERUP close to your's and try connecting again.
• Remove your smartphone cover, some cases may disrupt the radio communication of bluetooth.
