If you are still having problems, try restarting your smart-device completely. Q. My R.E.V.™ disconnects often or is much slower than usual. A. This is most likely caused by interference. Ensure that there are no other Bluetooth® devices connected (especially audio devices), as these can cause interference which can cause issues, also make sure that you are standing close to the R.E.V.™ item with no obstacles in the way. If you are still having problems, try turning Wi-Fi off to reduce interference. If you experience further problems, please try connecting with another smart-device. Q.
