At ASIWO, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products and support. The ASIWO U1 Universal Underwater Scooter is designed to enhance your aquatic adventures, offering versatility for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, diving, and more. However, we understand that some users may experience Bluetooth connectivity issues. This official guide aims to assist you in troubleshooting and resolving these issues to ensure optimal performance of your ASIWO U1.
Understanding the Bluetooth Functionality of the ASIWO U1
The ASIWO U1 features a wireless Bluetooth remote control that allows users to operate the scooter in SUP mode. This remote enables you to power the scooter on and off, switch between three-speed gears, and monitor gear and battery status. The Bluetooth connection is designed to operate effectively within specific ranges:
-
Freshwater: 7–8 meters above the surface
-
Seawater: 2–3 meters above the surface
To ensure a stable connection, it is crucial to maintain the Bluetooth receiver and remote within these operational ranges.
Common Bluetooth Connectivity Issues
Users may encounter the following Bluetooth-related issues with the ASIWO U1:
-
Bluetooth Not Pairing: The remote control fails to connect to the scooter.
-
Intermittent Connection: The connection drops unexpectedly during use.
-
No Response from Remote: Pressing buttons on the remote does not elicit any response from the scooter.
These issues can often be resolved by following the troubleshooting steps outlined below.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Ensure Proper Installation
Before troubleshooting Bluetooth issues, verify that the ASIWO U1 is correctly installed on your SUP:
-
Receiver Placement: Ensure the receiver is securely attached to the tail of the SUP and positioned above the waterline to prevent signal interference.
-
Remote Control Pairing: Confirm that the remote control's Bluetooth indicator is illuminated, indicating it's powered on and ready to pair.
2. Check for Interference
Bluetooth signals can be disrupted by various factors:

Obstructions: Ensure there are no physical barriers between the remote and the receiver.

Water Exposure: Water can absorb and reflect Bluetooth signals, weakening the connection.
Position yourself and the remote in a way that minimizes these interferences.

Power Cycle: Turn off both the scooter and the remote control. Wait for a few seconds, then power them back on.

Re-pair Devices: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to re-pair the remote control with the scooter.
