Pairing with an Android device

The TomTom MySports mobile app allows you to upload your activity data from your TomTom Touch Fitness Tracker to TomTom MySports using your smartphone. It also allows automatic uploads to a number of other websites.

Before you pair your fitness tracker with your Android device, make sure that you are using the latest version of the TomTom MySports app and that you have the latest version of the software for your fitness tracker installed. If a newer version of the MySports app is available, you can download it from the Play Store. If a newer version of the software for your fitness tracker is available, you can download it using the MySports Connect desktop app.

To pair your Android device with your fitness tracker, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that your Android device is compatible with the TomTom MySports app. You can find information about compatible devices in Google Play.
  2. Ensure you have a working internet connection on your smartphone.
  3. Your fitness tracker needs to be connected to a power source. If connecting to your computer, wait for the MySports Connect desktop app to finish updating your device before continuing.
  4. Make sure that your fitness tracker and Android device are close to each other.
  5. Switch on Bluetooth in the Settings on your Android device.
  6. Start the TomTom MySports mobile app on your Android device.
  7. On your fitness tracker, press the button to wake up the screen, swipe the screen until you see the Bluetooth and smartphone icons, and press the button again.
  8. On the Activate your device screen of your mobile app, tap Band.

    Your Android device shows Searching.

  9. When the name of your band appears, tap it.
  10. When the name of your fitness tracker appears in the list on the Searching screen, tap it and accept the request to pair.

    Important: Check your Android notification bar for the fitness tracker pairing request. On some Android devices the pairing notification is shown in the Android notification bar after you have selected the fitness tracker you want to connect. Some Android devices show a pop-up; some don’t show anything. Devices that do show a pairing request require you to accept pairing within a few seconds.

  11. In the MySports mobile app, enter the PIN code shown on your fitness tracker.
  12. Once your MySports app and fitness tracker are connected, tap Done.

Your fitness tracker and the MySports app are now paired. If you have trouble pairing your fitness tracker, see below for troubleshooting instructions.

If you open the mobile app on your phone and it is trying to connect to your fitness tracker, you may need to wake up the fitness tracker by pressing the button. To sync, pull down the Activities screen in the app. If you experience issues syncing with the app, you can always sync your activities using the MySports desktop app.
