Steps **4**

Tools **None**

Parts None

Works for Corded Dolphin robots with an On/Off LED and a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi power supply, such as the M600, M700, X40 Plus and Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi.

Short answer Blue light. Flashing blue on the connectivity LED. Steady blue means connected by Bluetooth.

- Stand near the robot and its power supply. Done?
- Open the MyDolphin Plus app and choose the Bluetooth option. Done?
- If it does not connect, restart the app. Did it work?

**Fixed when:** The connectivity LED turns steady blue.
