Is my tablet or phone compatible

with LUMI™?

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?

A: Try downloading the application on the Amazon AppStore™. All WowWee

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

compatible smart device?
