Make sure your phone or tablet is successfully connected to

the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network that your device will be placed on.

You may ﬁrst need to enable and allow location services on your

If your Wi-Fi network is a mixed 2.4GHz/5GHz network, try using

AP pairing mode for better results.

If you still have issues with your mixed network, you may need to

access your router settings and/or call your Internet Service

Provider to create a separate 2.4GHz network.

You may need to fully charge your Orb before pairing.
