2. Can fitness band only be paired with one device at a time?
Yes, you can only pair the fitness band with only one device at a time. It is not possible for any branded device to pair with multiple or so as it required complex algorithms to be loaded in the device which in turn consumes more data that has to be stored.
As of now, there are no such pairing options available in the market. May be we can expect in future.
3. What is the reason for my screen turning black?
Sometimes the buttons on the fitness band may not respond quickly. Further, when you press the button, the screen may remain black. Leave it for 1-minute and again press the buttons gently.
