so could damage the detector.
Connect
Pair and name your detector

The detector will now pair with the app.
Note: If you have more than one detector, you will need to connect each detector individually.
-
An audible alert will sound and your detector’s LED will turn solid blue to indicate your detector is paired. Press NEXT.
-
Create a custom name for the detector or select one from the list. Press NEXT.
Connect to WiFi
- Choose your network from the list. Press NEXT.
- Enter your WiFi password, if necessary. Press NEXT.
- When connected to WiFi, the LED will turn solid green for 5 minutes, then turn off to preserve battery life.
Note: If you remove and replace the detector’s batteries, it will reconnect to your WiFi network automatically.
Configure
Continue to follow instructions in the app to configure your detector.
Select the alert levels you want for high and low humidity and temperature
warnings, or keep the preset levels. Identify the people you want to be
notified in case of an alarm. These settings can be updated at any time using
the app.
Placement
Place the bottom of your detector flat on the floor or a surface. For wall
mounting, use the included screw and hang the detector on the bottom cover’s
mounting keyhole.
Optional cable sensor
To install the optional cable sensor, remove the sensor jack plug and
insert the cable sensor. Insert the sensor jack plug at the end of the cable
sensor.
Accessory cable sensors (sold separately) can be connected to extend the cable
and increase the water sensing area.
The entire length of the cable is an extended sensor. You can hang the
detector from the wall or place both the detector and cable sensor on the
floor.
Note: The cable sensor jack is NOT for plugging in a power adaptor. Doing
so could damage the detector.
