This is how you set up your new Astari Wearable
A Short Setup Video
Please see the step by step guide below.
STEP 1 - Fund your wearable
First you need to set up a free Curve wallet account to store your payment card(s) that you want to use to fund your Astari wearable. You connect your payment cards by storing them in your Curve wallet and then connecting this wallet to your wearable. In some cases you can connect your bankcard directly as well, you can see which banks can be linked directly here. If your bank is not yet directly supported, this is no problem, but you will need to set up a Curve account first. Store your payment card(s) in the wallet, then simply connect the Curve wallet to your wearable.
What is Curve
Curve is our wallet partner and is used in most cases to connect your payment card(s) to our wearables. Simply set up a Curve account and connect the cards you to fund your wearable with to this wallet. After that you just need to link your Curve wallet to your wearable and you are ready to go.
STEP 2 - Download the Manage Mii app
The Manage-Mii app is the control center for your wearable, allowing you to easily set up, adjust and (temporarily) freeze it, giving you full control over your wearable and its features.
Only you need this app to set up and manage the wearable(s). It is not necessary to have the app or phone nearby when paying with the wearable.
STEP 3 - Pair the wearable
Location NFC reader
Open the Manage Mii app and start placing your wearable on the back of your mobile phone. See the NFC 'sweet spots' per device type in the image.
If you experience difficulties during pairing, we recommend removing the phone case and ensuring that no other (payment) cards are close to the NFC reader of your phone, as these can disrupt the signal. It is important to hold the wearable still against the phone and not to place the phone on top of the wearable.
STEP 4 - Link your Card/ Curve wallet
When you have connected your payment cards to Curve you will now link your Curve wallet/card to the wearable to finish the setup. Go in the Curve app to launchpad -> Account -> Card details. Here you will find the card number you will enter in the Manage Mii app to connect the cards in your wallet to the wearable. If you have a payment card that is supported to link directly, you can simply enter this number. Now hold your wearable flat and still against the NFC point on your phone until the setup is complete, and you are done and ready to pay!
