The Laser Technology SpeedCapture may not access the camera if the laser is powered off or not properly connected via Bluetooth. Ensure the laser is powered on and try tapping the device serial number to reconnect. If issues persist, forget the device in Bluetooth settings and re-pair it, or restart the phone.
