How to connect the Impulse app to my e-bike?

In case the Bluetooth-Low-Energy function of your smartphone works properly, connecting your e-bike to the Impulse app is easy. Please watch the above video clip for details.

If the connection does not work, please check the following:

• Make sure you did not inadvertently disable Bluetooth for the Impulse app within your smartphone settings. If Bluetooth is disabled for Impulse, please enable it.
• Try out by the aid of other devices if a) the Bluetooth-Low-Energy (sometimes named "Bluetooth Smart" or just "Bluetooth") function of your smartphone works and if b) the Bluetooth unit of your Impulse display works. If one of these does not perform, please contact the respective dealer or manufacturer.

     

After a while I don't see any navigation instructions on the e-bike display. What can I do?

The setting for battery performance optimisation on Android smartphones (as of Android 6) can affect the connection between display and app. This can be fixed for the Impulse app as follows:

• Open "Settings" of the Android device
• Select the "Battery" menu item
• Press "Battery Performance Optimisation" in the upper right corner of the screen
• Select "All Apps"
• For Impulse, select "Do not optimise

On Samsung devices: open "Settings", select "Battery", open "Battery consumption", select "Optimize battery consumption", deactivate the switch for the Impulse app.
