Just updated my 712 and now it will not pair I had no problems before updating.

I installed the 5.36onto my android and then the problem began. I have gone through the steps Victron has suggested with no positive results.

My phone will find the 712 but will not pair I have used 0000 / 1234 and have not changed those since I bought it.

Any suggestions?

Hi, have you tried 6 zeros? 4 is not right.

If that doesn't help, please let us me what steps you took already. Thanks! Matthijs

6 zeros work. I have the 712 paired but the app will not find it. I have done a search typing in the Smartbmv hq2020tv4qw no luck.

Ideas?

hi, you shouldn’t pair or connect from it from the menus in Android. See step 5 in the trouble shooting section in the VictronConnect manual:

Ps. make sure to start with chapter 11.1; the generic bluetooth trouble shooting chapter.


and if that doesnt help, continue on chapter 11.2
