Is my tablet or phone compatible
with LUMI™?
Q1
Q3
A: LUMI™ can be controlled using our
free apps available for compatible
smart devices featuring Bluetooth®
Smart technology. These apps
are available on iTunes® or the
Google Play™ store.
iOS devices: All iPhone®, iPod® and
iPad® devices (excluding iPad® 2) which
run iOS 9 or later are compatible.
Android™ devices: The app is
compatible with most Bluetooth® Smart
Ready (also known as Bluetooth® Low
Energy) devices running Android™
4.4.4 (KitKat) or later. The easiest way
to test compatibility before purchasing
the product is to attempt to download
the LUMI™ App. If your device is not
compatible, Google Play™ will not
allow you to see, download, or install
the app. If the app can download,
install, and run correctly on your
device, we expect full compatibility.
A: LUMI™ only works with devices which are Bluetooth® Smart Ready and running
compatible operating systems.
Generally our toys are expected to be compatible with most Android phones or
tablets that are Bluetooth® Smart Ready (also known as Bluetooth® Low Energy)
and running Android™ 4.4.4 (KitKat) or later.
The easiest way to test LUMI™ app compatibility on your Android™ device
is to attempt to download the LUMI™ App. If your device is not compatible,
Google Play™ will not allow you to see, download, or install the app. If
the app can download, install, and run correctly on your device, we expect
full compatibility.
I cannot access Google Play™ on my Android™ device, how can I download
the application?
Q2

applications are officially provided there for users who cannot use Google Play™.
When I try to download the LUMI™ app on my Android™ phone, it says it’s
incompatible with my device.
My LUMI™ won’t show up in the app when I try to connect.
Q4
A: Make sure your LUMI™ has fresh/fully charged batteries
and is turned on, then close the app and switch Bluetooth®
on/off in your device settings. If you’re still having
problems, try restarting your device completely.
Q5
A: This is most likely caused by Bluetooth® interference. Ensure
that there are no other Bluetooth® devices connected or
switched on (especially audio devices), as these can cause
interference which can cause issues. If you’re still having
problems try turning your device’s WiFi off to reduce
interference.
My LUMI™ disconnects often or automatically lands after
taking off.
Q6
A:
Most likely the battery needs
charging; try recharging or
swapping the Rechargeable Battery.
If you’re still having problems, try
restarting your device completely.
My LUMI™ takes off, but then the
motors stop running and it falls
down.
Q8
A: Ensure that the Pod is in an open
clear space indoors with line of
sight to the toy. LUMI™ will not
function correctly in crowded
spaces or outdoors.
LUMI™ has trouble tracking or
seems to get confused about where
to fly.
A: No. LUMI™ can only be used
together with a compatible smart
device.
Can I use LUMI™ without a
