FAQs - Trouble shooting Sparky™

When you click on the app icon to start Sparky™, the app starts and immediately starts searching for the spirometer via Bluetooth. If it cannot find a spirometer nearby, the game will not start. It will give you a message that this is the case. Please ensure that your spirometer is nearby.

Check your wi-fi or data to make sure they are enabled. 

If your MIR Spirobank Smart spirometer is nearby, and the game does not start, please check the batteries of the spirometer.

If you have checked and have replaced the batteries, close the game and restart to connect it.
