Install & Configure Application on phone
NOTE: It is preferable to do this on an Android phone, as the UUID that
is advertised by the devices is obfuscated by an iPhone before being
displayed, whereas using an Android, the UUID displayed will match the BTMac
address of the device so you can correlate it to the TagDetails.Download and
install the nRF Connect Application from Google Play or Apple Store. nRF
Connect for Mobile:

range.
Upgrade device
Once you have been able to see and connect to a device, you can now upgrade
it.
- You should have been provided with a .bin file, copy this to your phone.
- Scan for devices using nRF connect
- Create a GATT connection to the device you want to upgrade by clicking “Connect”
- Go to the DFU tab
- Select the .bin file as the upload image
- Click “start” and wait for the progress to complete
The upload process will take about 2 minutes, the closer your phone is to the device the faster this will be and the less likely it is to be interrupted.
