# Set up Movesense Device
## This article will take you through the steps of setting up the Movesense device and linking it to your Labfront project.
### Setting Up Your Movesense Device
Before linking the Movesense device to your project, make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on and the Movesense is ready to connect.
*To "wake up" the device, touch the two metal connectors at the back. When the red LED flashes, the device is ready to connect.*
1. Open the **Labfront Companion **app to enter the project you're connected to. *If you haven't yet downloaded the app and joined a study, [follow the steps outlined here](https://help.labfront.com/install-app-and-join-study?hsLang=en).*
2. You will see **Movesense** at the top of your screen. Click **Start \> Get Started. **The app will search for the device.
3. The paired device should show up during the scan. Select your device by checking the 12-digit serial number on the back. Then click **Link Device**.
4. Pair the device.

You can also pair a device through the Labfront Companion Settings.
1. Select  **Settings**
2. **Devices** \> **Movesense** \> **Pair Device**
#### **Congratulations, you're all set 🎉! **
Now that the setup process is complete, participants will only need to open the Labfront Companion app** to complete Movesense Tasks **created by the researcher.
*If pairing is unsuccessful, follow the steps highlighted in the app, and if all else fails, reach out to [support@labfront.com](mailto:support@labfront.com). *
