About connectivity:

\-       Online connectivity brings new features: live tracking, real time wind reports, SMS messaging… (for more info, please read chapter “Parameters: Online Functions”).

\-       IMPORTANT: for bluetooth connection to work properly with your phone, you must enable both **bluetooth** AND **bluetooth Internet connection sharing** (“bluetooth tethering” on some phones): see [this tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR3RYwWmFhQ).

\-       Whereas Wifi significantly reduces battery life and therefore should only be used on the ground, **bluetooth is highly energy efficient and should be the connectivity used in flight.**\
(standby weather forecast only use Wifi to update its data)

\-       After your flight, if you have filled your credentials in the Evolution (Parameters > Advanced Parameters > Pilot credentials), the flight will automatically be uploaded to your Syride online profile.

\-       WIFI with WEP keys are currently not supported by the Evolution (most wifi networks use WPA/WPA2 keys nowadays).

\-       Wifi and bluetooth cannot be used simultaneously. Activating bluetooth will disable the wifi and vice versa.

\-       On most phones, you will have to be on a specific page to be visible by other devices (including the Evolution) on bluetooth (that’s usually the bluetooth scan page).
