One of the images appears to indicated that two Edge devices are bluetooth connected to the iphone6. I only connect and manage by Packtalk Bold devices one at a time. I don't recall whether I learned the hard way that this was a prerequisite or if I chose this approach just to keep it as simple as possible. Regardless, I would give that a try. Also, I uniquely named mine in order to identify whether I was working with mine or my wife's. I added a sticker to the back of hers for differentiation purposes.
My process is:
Turn a Packtalk Bold on.
Switch it to bluetooth mode.
Start it bluetooth pairing mode.
Bluetooth pair it to the phone.
Start the Cardo Connect app.
Do whatever I need to do.
Turn off the Packtalk Bold.
Close the Cardo Connect app.
Rinse and repeat for the other Packtalk Bold.
Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595
Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595
You are quite correct there do appear to be two Edge devices connected to the iphone 6 and I assume (!) that this is why the Cardo Connect will not find a device. I paired the Edge to the 6 per your steps and those of the Book of Words without success and did exactly the same for the 14 with success. Perplexing. Oh, and I had no success pairing the Edge to an ancient ipad running Connect 5.9. The age of the Bluetooth sw perhaps?
Thanks for your help

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595
Debating this with another chum suggests that the BT profile in a 6 may lack something required by Cardo Connect and/or the Edge.

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595
I cant help with the iphone. I did connect mine via the Ipad to see the difference - but its not the same.
However. I found the packtalk manual useless.
I note that you have two edges paired to the phone. BY the time I had finished I didn't want either edge talking to the phone.
Explanation in the atatched. The notication permissions are set up differently on the iphone. I don't think it geives you such fine control.
I know its not the problem you are having - but i had all sorts of problems - which is why I wrote it down.
There may be something....

Re: Using a Packtalk Edge with a Zumo 595
Pretty sure that it's related to the version of BT running on the iphone 6 and the functionality of some of it's operational subsets <--- quoted from a chum who knows about such things!jfheath wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:22 pm I cant help with the iphone.

Yep, I have your, very helpful, document.
There doesn't appear to be any problem when I use the iphone 14 insofar as the Edge is paired only to my Zumo and _my_ phone (the 12) is paired only to the Zumo, thus the Edge knows nothing about the 12 and the 14 is used only for Edge programming.
N.B. I have yet to use the Edge in "anger". Not sure that "first use" should be left until I am boarding the train for France!!
