XNote allows you to connect your smart pen via Bluetooth at any time. You can access the scanning screen from the Pen Status Badge on the Home screen (see 2.5.1) or during the initial onboarding flow.
Make sure your pen is uncapped and Bluetooth permissions are granted before scanning. If this is your first time, these are handled during onboarding (see 2.2 Steps 7-8).
Step 1 : Scanning for Your Pen
XNote begins scanning for nearby pens. A pulsing animation will appear while searching. Make sure your pen is uncapped and nearby.
Step 2 : Select Your Pen
When your pen is discovered, it will appear in a list showing "XNote Smart Pen" with its MAC address. Tap on your pen to start connecting.
Step 3 : Connecting
A spinning animation will appear while XNote establishes the connection. This may take a few seconds.
Step 4 : Connected
A green checkmark confirms the connection is successful. You will be automatically redirected to the Home screen.
If connection fails:
A red icon will appear with the message "Connection failed". Tap "Try Again" to restart the scanning process. Make sure your pen is turned on and nearby.
