Turning on Bluetooth for your Huawei Band 4 isn't a matter of toggling a switch on the band itself; instead, your band is ready for Bluetooth pairing by default when active. The key to connecting your Huawei Band 4 to your smartphone is to use the Huawei Health app for the pairing process.
When you use your Huawei Band 4 for the very first time, it's essential to connect it to its charging cradle to activate it. Once activated, the band's Bluetooth functionality is enabled automatically, making it discoverable for pairing.
Connecting Your Huawei Band 4 Via the Huawei Health App
To successfully "turn on" and utilize Bluetooth for your Huawei Band 4, follow these steps to pair it with your smartphone:
-
Download the Huawei Health App:
- If you don't already have it, download the official Huawei Health app from your phone's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
-
Ensure Band is Ready:
- Make sure your Huawei Band 4 is charged and activated (connected to the charging cradle if it's the first use).
- Keep the band close to your smartphone.
-
Open the Huawei Health App:

Navigate to Devices:

-
Add Your Device:
- Select "Add device" or "Pair device."
- Choose "Smart Bands" or navigate through the list to find "Huawei Band 4."
-
Initiate Pairing:

Important Considerations:
- Avoid Direct Bluetooth Pairing: Do not attempt to pair your Huawei Band 4 directly through your phone's Bluetooth settings. Always use the Huawei Health app for a successful and stable connection.
- Location Services: For Android phones, ensure location services are enabled for the Huawei Health app to detect devices effectively.
- Background App: For continuous data synchronization and notifications, ensure the Huawei Health app is running in the background and is not restricted by your phone's battery optimization settings.
By following these steps, your Huawei Band 4 will be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing you to synchronize data, receive notifications, and manage settings through the Huawei Health app.
