GETTINGSTARTED
1 Download and install the Wink app on
your mobile device as outlined in the
Quick Start Card. The app will enable a
Wi-Fi® connection between your mobile
device and Spotter.
2 Turn Spotter ON, either with battery
power or with the included AC adapter
for a continuous power source.*
To use the pre-installed batteries, pull
and remove the ribbon.
Note: Installing batteries improperly may
result in damage to Spotter’s hardware.
3 Open the Wink app. Follow the app’s
instructions to connect to your Spotter.
Your mobile device connects by sending
light pulses into a sensor on your
Spotter. It is best to do this in a dimly
lit environment.
* For optimal performance, battery mode should
only be used with light or motion sensing
functions. For all other functions, be sure to use
the power adapter.
Correct adapter jack is located on Spotter’s right
side when the house icon is oriented upwards.
Spotter has built in magnets so you can use on any
magnetic surface.
Use screws to attach Spotter more permanently.Front Right side
For semi-permanent to permanent mounting use
included adhesive tape to secure Spotter.
USINGSPOTTER
1 Once connected, Spotter is ready to
monitor motion, sound, light, temperature,
and humidity.
2 There are many ways you can store
Spotter for personalized monitoring:
No attachment – Place Spotter directly
on any indoor counter, table, or flat
surface where monitoring is needed.
Magnets – Use Spotter’s built in magnets
to stick it on any magnetic metal surface
like your fridge, washer and dryer,
or select cabinets
Double-sided wall mount tape – For
semi-permanent to permanent mounting
(depending on surface) use included
adhesive mounting tape to secure Spotter.
Adhesive mounting tape may damage
certain surfaces during removal, so please
test before using.
Screws – Use included screws to attach
Spotter even more permanently. Remove
Spotter’s back cover. Align up arrow to
point up, perpendicularly from the ground
and screw the back battery door into the
surface you wish to mount Spotter on.
3 Receive notifications via the Wink app
when Spotter detects one of the options
specified. Refer to the app for details
on how to personalize your settings.
