When to Use Bluetooth
Bluetooth is useful when:
- A scooter is offline (no IoT connection)
- You need to put a scooter into or out of Transport Mode
- Performing local diagnostics on a scooter
- The scooter is nearby and you want faster response than network commands
Note: Make sure your phone's Location services and Bluetooth are both enabled, and that the Launcher app has permissions for both.
