Power consumption

First, make sure your hub is set up and switched on. That’s what keeps your phone connected.

When you see a steady blue or aqua light on the front of your hub, you’re good to go and can start setting up your phone.

If things don’t work straight away, give it 5 minutes and try again. Your hub might just be finishing an update.
