How To: 5 Easy Steps To Connect Your Cricut Machine Via Bluetooth

 Hey Y'all,

The process is fairly simple, and in todays blog I'll share how to with Windows & android, since those are the products I own and am familiar with.

First, via Android:

1. Ensure your Cricut machine is powered on and within 10-15 feet of your mobile device. The further away the weaker the connection.
2. Open Settings and then Bluetooth.
3. Ensure that Bluetooth is ON and select your Cricut machine's Bluetooth device code from the list. Your machine's Bluetooth device code is printed or engraved on your machine, near the serial number.. If prompted for a PIN or pairing code, enter 0000 Cricut Explore Air 2 or older may require this. Newer machines do not.
4. Your Cricut machine is now paired for Bluetooth connection!
5. Return to Design Space and New Product Setup. Your Cricut machine should now show up as connected during setup.

Next via Windows:

1. Ensure your Cricut machine is powered on and within 10-15 feet of your computer.
2. From your Start menu, select Settings (gear icon) and then open the Devices option.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Ensure that Bluetooth is ON and click Add Bluetooth or other device.
   
   
   
   
4. Select Bluetooth and wait for the computer to detect your Cricut machine. This took awhile for me, so be patient. Select your machine's Bluetooth device code from the list. Your machine's Bluetooth device code is printed or engraved on your machine, near the serial number. It is normal for Cricut machines to show up as an Audio device in this list. 
5. If prompted for a PIN or pairing code, enter 0000.
6. Your Cricut machine is now paired for Bluetooth connection!
