With both Dolphin and PowerSeeker turned on (blue LED light), tap on the top bar of the screen will open the status list, where you can check if the PowerSeeker is already linked with the Dolphin.
If for some reason you want to link the PowerSeeker with Dolphin manually, you can follow this tutorial link.
