Troubleshooting

1) When connecting your Hudly to the Vehicle Health Monitor (VHM), you may notice that it finds it within yourBluetoothh settings menu and, when attempting to pair, does nothing. The VHM will not show a connection inside of the Bluetooth menu on your phone, but will connect through the applications that you wish to use your VHM with.

2) When using your VHM with the Hudly App or third-party apps (make sure they don't specifically say that they only work with one particular dongle) you'll simply launch the desired app and it will automatically find and connect to your VHM. All connection information and data will be handled through the Hudly App or the third-party app that you are using.

3) There is a light on the VHM. At times the light will be red and at others, blue. Please note that the red light is not indicative of a malfunctioning or disconnected unit and may simply be showing as red through the application that you are using.
