In order to use the mobile app, you must first connect your mobile phone together with the Biometric Wallet via Bluetooth pairing. Bluetooth pairing is required only once during the initial connection setup.
Instead of using Bluetooth connection, you can also use the OTG cable to physically connect between mobile phone and the Biometric Wallet. More information can be found here.
1) Power on your device and authenticate yourself to access the wallet.
2) On your device, scroll down and choose the "Setting" menu.
3) Choose "Bluetooth" menu.
4) Choose "Android" menu.
5) The screen will display the device ID and password for Bluetooth connection.
D'CENT device ID is in the format of D'CENT-iD-<number & characters>.
Bluetooth password is the 6-digit numbers displayed on the screen.
While on this screen, the Bluetooth LED will be lit which is located on the top right corner of the device body. It is normal that the blue LED light blinks.

2) If Bluetooth is disabled, please enable it.
3) On the screen of your mobile phone, D'CENT device ID should appear.
4) When you select the D'CENT device ID, you will be prompted to enter the 6-digit password.
5) Enter the 6-digit Bluetooth password as shown on the screen of your D'CENT device.
When the two devices have been paired successfully, the blue LED light will stop blinking and stay lit.
It is normal to see the message "An app is need to use this device" when you click on the D'CENT iD-xxxxxx that is listed under the paired devices. Nothing happens.
If the biometric wallet device is registered on the mobile phone, the next time you use the D'CENT app, a Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the biometric wallet is automatically established.

A pop-up will appear allowing the D'CENT mobile app to find nearby devices. You must press the "Allow" button to synchronize with Cold Wallet.

While your mobile app is opened, power on your Biometric Wallet. If you have already completed the step of Bluetooth pairing, synchronization will begin automatically. Synchronization will take few seconds to complete.
If synchronization does not begin, try turning off the power on your Biometric Wallet and power it back on to start the synchronization.
When the synchronization is complete, you will notice the Bluetooth icon(mint color) appear on the upper left corner of the screen on the mobile app. Also notice the Bluetooth LED stays lit on your Biometric Wallet.
