Quick Start
»First of all, charge up MiTail. Simply connect the charger to MiTail with the supplied
USB-C cable. The charger can charge it to around 80% in around 2h 15 minutes.
»Download the app from the app store. Search
for “The Tail Company” or “Crumpet” or scan the QR code:
»Switch on MiTail by pressing the power button for 2 seconds.
Its at the body end, under the fur.
Please note, you can use MiTail whilst its charging, but not if the batteries are
completely dead. So for the first time, please give MiTail a really good charge!
»Run the app! Agree to the permissions it requires. It will then look for your tail. After
a short while, it should find it. Click “Connect to MiTail”, and you are ready to go!
»There is no need to “pair” your tail! Just use the app to search and
connect.
»When MiTail is running low on batteries, the app’s battery gauge will go red. The red
LED on MiTail will also blink to let you know. Time to charge!
To switch o MiTail, press the power button for about 4 seconds and MiTail will power
o. If MiTail is unused for 5 minutes, it will switch itself oto save power.
You can also use MiTail with a powerbank when your batteries are low. Just connect it
up, and MiTail will charge while it moves. But be careful not to break the USB socket.
FAQ
•If your phone can’t see MiTail, make sure the tail is on, and has been charged!
Also make sure Bluetooth is ON and location permissions are enabled in
Settings. You don’t need to “Pair” it. Just run the app and follow the instructions
there.
•Your tail has “No Phone Mode” too allowing it to move without using a phone.
Crumpet lets you switch this on and off. Details in the app.
•If you have trouble with anything MiTail, please visit our Telegram group or
email us! We also discuss new features and new gear we are working on there
too.
• Its not usually a good idea to brush your tail covers too much.Ifthey have marks,

use a damp cloth to rub them. Or use your fingers to remove anything that may be
stuck there. They are not suitable for dry cleaning. A little light brushing is fine.
• Don’t sit down with yourtail on! With the new D-Clip, its easy to remove the tail, and
reattach. If you leave it on, and it tries to move, it can damage the insides.
Technical stuff about MiTail
MiTail requires a USB-PD capable charging adapter. PD charging is only possible via
a type-C USB connector. Adapters with USB-A output will not charge MiTail. The
adapter should provide at least 9V - almost all PD adapters can. If the adapters’
rated power is less than 24W, charging will take around 3 hours. The current
firmware (4.04) sets the max charging speed. Powerbanks behave the same as
above. Below you can find out what the LEDs mean:
Red LED -OFF when not charging or not connected to a suitable charger. "Breathing fades" when charging,
increasing in speed as charging increases. And SOLID ON when charged!
Blue LED - Blinkingmeans its ready to connect.ONmeans MiTail is connected to your phone.
IMPORTANT! TREAT YOUR USB WITH CARE!
You can break your USB socket if you dont treat it well! Please be gentle when
connecting and disconnecting the USB lead
TAKE EXTRA SPECIAL CARE WHEN CONNECTING A POWERBANK AND THEN USING YOUR TAIL
If you apply pressure to one side ofthe connector, you can break your tail!
Always use a 90 degree USB-C lead when using a powerbank.
