Plugging the Entagged into the camera


Make sure you have the correct Entagged for your camera. You can check the compatibility list here. You can find instructions on plugging in the Entagged here.

Pairing the Entagged to a phone


Initial pairing

Here’s how to pair your Entagged when using it for the first time.

1. Plug in your Entagged and turn on your camera. The Entagged’s LED will light up yellow when it is plugged into the camera correctly and is getting power.

2. Download and install the free Entagged app from the Apple AppStore or the Google Play Store.

3. Open the app and allow Bluetooth Access.

4. Read through the first on-boarding screens by swiping left. Tap “START SEARCHING”.

5. The app will continuously search for Entaggeds to pair with. It’s so quick, your Entagged might already be there from the start.

6. Just tap on the Entagged you want to pair. If the pairing was successful, a check mark will appear. Tap “DONE”.

7. Make sure you allow the app to use your phone’s camera. The app uses your phone’s camera as a barcode scanner.

8. From now on the Entagged will always automatically reconnect with your phone when you turn on your camera. When it is connected to the app, the Entagged’s LED will light up turquoise.


Pairing an Entagged from within the app

If you’ve already paired an Entagged before, here’s how to pair additional Entaggeds or pair an Entagged again after unpairing it:

1. Plug in your Entagged and turn on your camera. The Entagged’s LED will light up yellow when it is plugged into the camera correctly and is getting power.

2. Navigate to the “YOUR ENTAGGEDS” screen by tapping the Entagged settings icon at the bottom of the app menu.

3. In the “YOUR ENTAGGEDS” screen, the app will continuously search for Entaggeds to pair with. It’s so quick, your Entagged might already be there from the start.

4. Just tap on the Entagged you want to pair. If the pairing was successful, the Entagged will move to the top area of the screen and its name will change from the Entagged’s serial number to your camera’s model name.

5. From now on the Entagged will always automatically reconnect with your phone when you switch on your camera. When it is connected to a phone or tablet, the LED in the Entagged will shine turquoise.

The switch to the right of each Entagged lets you disable and reenable them manually if necessary. The Entagged can only be connected to one app at a time, so if you want to pair and use it with a second phone or tablet, you need to disable it on the first phone or unpair it.

If no Entaggeds are enabled, the app will automatically switch to a “Virtual Entagged” indicated at the top of each main screen. This is exclusively a demo mode to test app features or to show a friend or colleague how the app works, when you don’t have an Entagged connected. Beware that no codes will be sent to the camera!

Unairing an Entagged

1. Navigate to the “YOUR ENTAGGEDS” screen by tapping the Entagged settings icon at the bottom of the app menu.

2. Tap on the Entagged you want to unpair. You can also unpair Entaggeds that are not currently connected.

3. Tap “Unpair Entagged”.
