## Connecting Your Radio (BLE)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The app pairs with your MeshCore radio over Bluetooth Low Energy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Windows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On Windows 11 (tested on 25H2), pair the radio through the system Bluetooth menu **before** connecting in the app:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Open **Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Add device → Bluetooth**.
|
||||||
|
2. Select your MeshCore radio and complete pairing, entering the **PIN** when prompted.
|
||||||
|
3. Launch MeshCore SAR and connect — the radio now appears as a paired device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the radio does not show up or fails to connect in-app, remove it from the Windows Bluetooth menu and repeat the pairing step.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### iOS / Android
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Connect directly from within the app — no separate system pairing step is required.
