Overview
If you're experiencing connectivity or movement issues with your Omni One, a weak Bluetooth signal could be the cause. You can use a free diagnostic tool called ToolBlex to check the signal strength between your PC and your Omni One treadmill.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Download ToolBlex Bluetooth Signal Analyzer
Install the software on your Windows PC.
- If Omni Connect is currently running on your PC, exit the application before launching ToolBlex.
Note: ToolBlex is a third-party utility used to scan and report signal strength (RSSI) for Bluetooth devices.
2. Launch ToolBlex and Check the RSSI (Signal Strength)
Open ToolBlex and start a Bluetooth scan.
Locate your Omni One from the list of nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Once your Omni One is selected, look for the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value, which is displayed in dBm.
Signal Strength Guide:
✅ 0 to -40 dBm: Excellent signal—no issues expected.
⚠️ -40 to -70 dBm: Good signal—may result in intermittent movement issues.
❌ Worse than -70 dBm: Moderate signal—likely connection failures.
Improving Your Signal
If your RSSI falls outside the optimal range:
-
Use 2.0 Ports:
We recommend using a USB 2.0 port and cable for the dongle and extender (not a USB 3.0 port, which is blue), as some 3.0 ports can cause interference. Ideally, avoid plugging anything into 3.0 USB ports on your PC where possible.
Use a USB Extender:
For best results, use a USB extension cable to position your Bluetooth dongle 1' away from the power LED (this is the optimal distance as interference can occur if closer than this, and signal loss can occur if further away).
Position Your Bluetooth Dongle:
Ensure the Bluetooth antenna is in the upright position and faces the Omni's receiver (which is behind the power LED).
