TROUBLESHOOTING

1. WiFi or SIM setup failure

   • Several factors can affect the setup process. The following are common issues: OWiFi frequency: The Device can only connect to 2.4GHz networks, channels 1 – 13.
     2WiFi password: Go through the device setup again and ensure that you have set the correct WiFi password for the network.

   • WiFi security type: The Device supports OPEN, WEP, or WPA/WPA2 types.

   • WiFi channel width: Make sure it is set to 20MHz or “Auto”.

2. Internet connection: Make sure your device’s WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubibot.com using a mobile connected to the same WiFi).

   • Low battery power: WiFi uses a lot of power. Your device may be able to power on but may not have enough power for the WiFi. Please charge the device.
   • Make sure the SIM card is installed correctly and has a good mobile signal.

3. Please make sure the device has entered WiFi setup mode.

   • For direct problem diagnosis, please use the PC Offline Tools to go through the setup process and contact us with the response error code in Tools – Get Device Last Error. This can help us to remotely diagnose.

4. Failure to set up via Ethernet cable: Please check if the Ethernet cable is plugged correctly.

   • Please check if the Ethernet cable is in good condition.
   • Please check if the Ethernet cable has access to the Internet.
   • Please check if the batteries are too flat to set up.
   • please check if the Ethernet switch is 100 Mbps or lower.
   • If all the above conditions are excluded, but you still can not activate the device, please check whether the network rejects DHCP (automatic IP allocation); Or, you can also try to re-plug the Ethernet cable and go through the setup process again.
   • Failure to Sync Data. Please check the following: With the device switched on, press the power button once to trigger a manual data sync. You can hear “sync completed” after the data is transferred. If it says “sync failed”, try the next steps.
   • Check that the device has sufficient battery power for data sync. Data synchronisation consumes a lot of power – the device may be on, but unable to sync data. Please check the battery icon on the screen. Charge the device before it runs out of the power.
   • Make sure your device’s WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubibot.com using a mobile connected to the same WiFi).
   • If you are using mobile data, check that your SIM card is activated. Check if your mobile data allowance is used up. And, check if the Ethernet cable is firmly connected.
