Get started with xBand

Turn xBand on

Press and hold both buttons at the same time until you feel an increasing vibration.

Turn xBand off

Press and hold both buttons at the same time until you feel a fading vibration.

Charge xBand

1. Plug in the USB Type C cable into the charging adapter.

2. Plug in the other end of the cable to any USB charger or powered USB port.

3. Connect the charging adapter to xBand. The charging pins on the underside of xBand should be aligned with the pins on the adapter.

4. If the adapter is connected correctly and xBand has started charging it will vibrate a short vibration signal.

Low battery

When xBand has less than 20% battery it will give you a warning by vibrating a pattern that feels like three pulses linked in a smooth, wave-like pattern. When the battery level is getting low, the vibration strength will also be set to very weak.

App

The watch functionality on xBand is designed to function without a phone, but when connected you get access to additional settings and features, like receiving phone notifications.

In the app you will find guides and other helpful resources to get you started.

Install the mobile app

Install the xBand app from App Store:

xBand App on the App Store

Or from Google Play:

Connect xBand to your phone

Open the app and ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.

If this is your first time connecting xBand, or if it was previously paired with another phone, you’ll need to put it in pairing mode:

1. Press and hold both xBand buttons simultaneously for about 8 seconds. xBand will start (or restart) and vibrate, but keep holding the buttons until you feel two short vibrations indicating pairing mode. xBand will continue to be in pairing mode and vibrate the pairing vibration periodically for 3 minutes, or until it connects or is turned off.
2. Hold xBand close to your phone.
3. In the app, press the "Search for an xBand" button on the Home screen and wait for the connection.
4. If prompted, grant permission for your phone to connect to xBand.
   

Once paired, xBand will automatically reconnect to your phone when nearby. If it has been disconnected for a while, press any button on xBand to wake it up. If that doesn’t work, try restarting xBand or re-entering pairing mode.

Choosing a Mode

xBand offers two main modes, each designed for different use cases. Watch Mode is the default and focuses on time and alarm functions, while Morse Mode is tailored for communication and notifications. You can switch between modes through the xBand app.

Watch Mode

Watch Mode is ideal for time-related features, such as checking the time or setting alarms. Vibration patterns are short, simple and intuitive. Most features can be used without being connected to your phone.
