Pairing the Watch with a Parent's or Guardian's Phone

Before you can pair the Bounce™ 2 watch with a parent's or guardian's phone, the parent or guardian must have or create a Garmin Connect™ account.

CAUTION

The Bounce 2 watch has certain features that require an LTE Subscription and must be set up using the Garmin Jr.™ app ( LTE Connected Features). For subscription information, go to garmin.com/subscriptions.

The Bounce 2 watch must be paired directly through the Garmin Jr. app, instead of from the Bluetooth® settings on your phone.

  1. From the app store on your phone, install and open the Garmin Jr. app.
  2. Log on using your Garmin Connect username and password.
  3. Follow the instructions in the app to set up your family and add each child.
  4. If you previously skipped the pairing process or paired the watch with a different phone, press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout, and select Settings > Sync & Pair > Pair to manually enter pairing mode.
  5. Follow the instructions in the app to complete the setup process.
    NOTE: You can pair multiple mobile devices, such as a tablet or another parent's or guardian's phone (Pairing Multiple Mobile Devices).

Pairing Multiple Mobile Devices

After you complete the initial setup (Pairing the Watch with a Parent's or Guardian's Phone), you can pair the Bounce 2 watch with up to two additional mobile devices, such as a tablet or another parent's or guardian's phone.

  1. From the app store on your phone or tablet, install and open the Garmin Jr. app.
  2. Log on using your Garmin Connect username and password.
  3. Follow the instructions in the Garmin Jr. app to join an existing family.
  4. Bring your mobile device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the Bounce 2 watch and 10 m (33 ft.) away from other paired mobile devices.
    NOTE: If you cannot move the devices far enough apart, turn off Bluetooth technology on previously paired mobile devices.
  5. Follow the instructions in the app to complete the pairing process.
    Remember: If you turned off Bluetooth technology on previously paired mobile devices, turn it back on.
  6. If necessary, repeat steps 1 through 5 for each additional mobile device.
