If you are having trouble syncing your Lioness, check for the following things.

1. Make sure Lioness is charging.

Yes, first the classic IT "make sure it's plugged in" response, but it does happen which is why we mention it!

If your Lioness might be out of battery, plug your Lioness into charge. Don't worry if you don't see any lights yet.

2. Check whether your device has its bluetooth enabled.

To sync, make sure your Lioness is powered on and nearby, and your device has its bluetooth enabled. Always try pairing from within the Lioness app, not from your Bluetooth settings.

Forgot the Bluetooth Pairing Code?

Bluetooth Pairing Codes:

  • iPhone: 6496

  • Android: 006496

You should only have to enter this code once per device (phone, tablet, etc.).

3. Restart your Vibrator, Bluetooth, and App

By today's standards, Bluetooth is an ancient technology and has quite a few bugs. Many Bluetooth connection issues can be solved quickly by any combination of the following:

  • Turning your phone's Bluetooth off and on again

  • Closing out of your app and restarting it

  • Turning your vibrator off and on again

  • "Unpairing" or "forgetting" your Lioness Vibrator from your Bluetooth settings and pairing it again through the Lioness app

  • Restarting your phone/tablet

4. Check the lights on your vibrator

  • Solid green sync light: good to go

  • Flashing red sync light: out of storage, but still good to go

  • No flashing red lights, no vibration: firmware was not uploaded or not uploaded correctly. Instructions and video on how to fix that here.

  • No lights/vibration when turning on: vibrator out of battery and/or firmware was not uploaded correctly. Instructions and video on how to fix that here.

  • Anything else: click here

Remember:

  • Your vibrator is not supposed to be paired to your phone while you use it.

  • Syncing/pairing should only be done from the Lioness app, not your phone's Bluetooth settings.

5. Update Lioness's firmware

  1. Plug your Lioness into charge. Don't worry if you don't see any lights yet.

  2. Press and hold both buttons for 8-10 seconds until the lights turn solid red.

  3. Open the Lioness app and press the rectangular button that says “Sync Sessions.” It may take a bit to find the vibrator on the "Searching nearby..." screen.

  4. Once the update starts, leave your phone and vibrator next to each other until it finishes, and you're all done! Do not navigate away from the app!

  5. If you are having difficulties updating the firmware, consult this guide here.
