Troubleshooting an Unsuccessful Owlet Phone Connection

There could be several reasons why your Owlet is not connecting to your phone. Firstly, it is important to ensure that your phone’s software is up to date. If your phone is running on an outdated version, it may cause compatibility issues with the Owlet device. Secondly, make sure that you are using the new Owlet Care app, as the older version may no longer be supported. Additionally, it is essential to check that you are connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi speed, as Owlet devices do not support 5 GHz networks. Poor internet connectivity or network issues may also cause connection problems. Lastly, check that your Owlet device is fully charged and within range of your phone’s Bluetooth signal. If none of these solutions work, you may consider contacting the Owlet support team for further assistance.
