The treadmill does not show up
Make sure the treadmill is switched on and the belt console is awake. Many models only advertise Bluetooth while the console is on.
Turn Bluetooth on for your phone and allow Bluetooth access to Treadmill Pro in the phone settings.
Close other fitness apps. A treadmill usually accepts one Bluetooth connection at a time.
Move the phone close to the console, within a metre or two, then try again.
Switch the treadmill off for ten seconds, switch it on, and tap Connect again.
