3. Connect the Device

Adding a device works slightly differently on Android and iOS. Three connection methods are available: Quick Connect Mode (recommended), Hotspot Mode, and Bridge Mode.

Android version

Quick Connect Mode (Recommended)

（1） On the LixelGO home page, tap Quick Connect Mode; the app automatically searches for nearby devices.

（2）Find your target device in the list (for example XGR-ACPJ02 or AB00001003) and tap to connect.

（3）Select your phone brand as prompted (SAMSUNG / PIXEL / XIAOMI / OPPO, etc.); the app automatically reads the device's network configuration.

（4）Tap and select the device Wi-Fi and wait for the connection to complete.

（5）Once connected, the screen shows device information: model (e.g. Lixel K2), firmware version (e.g. 3.3.1), serial number, storage, and status such as USB mode, calibration, and point count.

（6）Tap the blue GO button in the lower-right corner to enter the device workspace.

Hotspot Mode

（1） In LixelGO, tap Add Device and grant the required permissions.

（2） Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, search, and connect to the device's Bluetooth.

（3） Turn on your phone hotspot, enter the hotspot name and password, tap Configure, and the device automatically connects to the phone hotspot.

（4） When both the network and data connection statuses show success, tap Finish to view the basic information of the connected device.

Bridge Mode

Tap the plus sign in the upper-right corner, select Bridge Mode, and follow the on-screen steps. First search for and connect to the device's Bluetooth, then configure and verify the network. After connecting correctly, tap Finish to view the device's basic information.

iOS version

Quick Connect Mode (Recommended)

Quick Connect Mode is used by default. Press and hold the power button to turn on the scanner (the indicator light changes from fast-flashing blue to solid green), then follow the same steps as on Android: on the LixelGO home page tap Quick Connect Mode, select and connect your device, and once connected the screen shows the device information.

Hotspot Mode

Before using the app, configure your iPhone first: go to Settings → General → About and change the Name field so it contains only English letters, with no spaces or special characters. This name is used as the phone's hotspot SSID. Then turn on the phone's Bluetooth, connect to the device's Bluetooth, turn on the hotspot, enter the name and password, and tap Configure.

Direct Connect Mode

• Press and hold the power button to turn on the Lixel K2. Tap Add new device, tap close, and then follow the steps.

• First-time connection: grant the requested permissions — tap Allow, select WLAN & Cellular, and tap Allow again.

• Turn on the phone's Bluetooth and connect to the device's Bluetooth, then configure the network: enter your iPhone's device name and hotspot password (keep the password as simple as possible), tap Configure, and read the tips carefully.

• On the first connection, the data connection may fail due to permissions. After returning to the app, tap Configure to trigger the permission dialog again; select Allow to establish the connection immediately.

• When both the network and data connection statuses show success, tap Finish to view the basic information of the connected device.

Bridge Mode

Tap the plus sign in the upper-right corner and select Bridge Mode. Tap close and go to the connect page: first search for and connect to the device's Bluetooth, then configure the network (see the Direct Connect Mode steps above for details). After connecting correctly, tap Finish to view the device's basic information.

4. Device Management

On the device screen, pull down the device name at the top to manage connected devices. Tap Remove Device to disconnect the device.

5. Device Activation

The first time you use the device, the activation page appears grayed out. Tap Connect and follow the prompts to complete device binding. Once activated, the device is ready to use.

6. Request a LixelStudio Activation Code

After device activation, LixelGO automatically opens the LixelStudio activation code request page, where you can request the code directly.

If you skip it for now, you can re-enter the request flow later via Me → Personal Info → Request LixelStudio Activation Code.
