3. Turn on your Zowi

The setup wizard checks that your Zowi is ready. Make sure it is turned on and nearby. If it is already on, choose “It's already on”. If you don't own a Zowi yet, you can still explore the app without one.

The Reset button, shown in developer mode, removes the registered Zowi from the app and from the Bluetooth system. If no Zowi is registered, a warning message is shown instead.
