Introduction
Introducing VGo and the power of “active presence”. VGo gives you the ability to not only be
in a remote location but also to move around in that remote location. Manage your staff, check
on the patient, inspect the lab, meet the visiting client, diagnose the manufacturing line, visit
with co-workers, monitor development progress –from anywhere. With just a broadband
internet connection you can move around and interact through VGo as if you were there.
VGo allows you to navigate around a place of business and engage in 2-way video conversations
with exceptional audio and video quality. It’s completely interactive and easily used by anyone
who has been given permission. VGo is a revolutionary communications experience.
About this VGo System
This VGo is a truly remarkable device –it will change the way you work, interact with others and
give you more time. There are a few things to remember:
It is designed for indoor use
Although it has sensors to prevent accidents, if you override these sensors and drive it
down a set of stairs it will most likely result in serious damage.
The standard battery will last 6 or more hours before it needs to recharge. The
extended life battery will last at least 12 hours.
Although the VGo will tell you when your WiFi signal is getting low, be careful not to
drive out of range, you may lose your connection.
The VGo PC App is only available for Windows operating systems today, but check for a
MAC version in the future.
VGo is a real-time communications device. This means that, unlike a movie that may be
streamed to your laptop or mobile phone, the data transmitted (audio, video and driving) must
go between the VGo and the remote user reliably and immediately. The VGo’s performance is
dependent on the quality of the network connection from the VGo to the remote user. Careful
attention must be paid in particular to the WiFi environment to which the VGo connects to
transmit and receive audio, video and driving commands. Not all WiFi environments are setup
for real-time communications and so the network configuration must be reviewed and modified
as appropriate. See the section on VGo Technical Requirements for more details.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by VGo Communications, Inc. for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Remove any foreign substances accumulated on the cliff sensor windows or the VGo may be in
danger of falling down the stairs. This may cause personal injury and/or critical damage to the product.
To prevent risk, clean the sensor window.
Always keep the power cord of the charger plugged into the outlet. Although the VGo has a self-
charging function, if the power cord of the charging dock is unplugged, it cannot charge itself
automatically.
Install the charging dock in a location that can be easily accessed by the VGo. Allow at least 1
foot of space on either side of the charging dock. Be sure there is at least 4 ft of clear space above the
charging dock. Be sure there are no highly reflective materials nearby such as floor mirrors or polished
metal cabinets that could cause the docking sensors to incorrectly guide the VGo.
Do not place any metal objects on top of the charge dock as this will result in critical
damage to the charger.
When cleaning the product, do not spray water directly onto the exterior or wipe it with a
volatile material such as benzene, thinner or alcohol as this may result in critical damage to the product.
Before cleaning the charger, make sure to disconnect the power cord.
Replace faulty battery only with VGo certified parts. Do not use 3rd party batteries.
VGo is designed to operate in temperature between 5 ºC to 40 ºC. Operation outside of this
range may result in damage to the product.
Store at a temperatures between -10 º to +50 ºC. Remove batteries during storage.
VGo complies with FCC Part 15 Class A, and is intended for use in business, industrial and
commercial settings.

Network Requirements for the VGo
Active Presence is enabled by a remote user who is connected to a VGo through a network. The
users and VGo’s “presence” and connectivity are managed by VGoNet, an intelligent cloud-
based service that is invisible to users.
VGo requires the following network elements for successful operation:
Broadband internet access with minimum 768Kbps upload speed
If inside the firewall, the following outbound firewall ports must be open:
oPort 5222 (XMPP, TCP)
oPort 3478 (STUN, UDP)
oPort 80 (HTTP Non-Proxy, TCP)
oPort 433 (HTTPS, TCP)
802.11 b/g (at 2.4 Ghz) or 802.11 a (at 5.0 Ghz) WiFi network coverage over the area
where the VGo will be used
oWiFi Security can be Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2
802.1x authentication using the EAP-TLS method is supported
oOther devices, that connect to the same network that VGo is using, which are
802.11b only, should be restricted to the max data rate only (11Mb)
This prevents low data rate devices from bringing down the overall data
rate of the network
If the VGo will be setup for WiFi Roaming (where it can automatically move from one
access point to another as it travels around a building)
oAccess Point features Dynamic Transmit Power Control and Dynamic Channel
Assignment should be turned OFF
These settings are not intended for use with a real-time roaming device
such as a VGo or wireless phone. These settings could cause
unexpected, random low WiFi signals and channel re-negotiations which
will severely impact performance.
oUtilization (traffic) rates must be within network design guidelines for both
wireless and wired connectivity
An overloaded network will generate packet loss and impact
performance
oAccess Points must not have any settings that could exclude VGo from
connecting to the AP
For example, one AP may permit any device to connect but if the next
only permits specific MAC addresses and the VGo is not one of them,
then the VGo cannot Roam.
oAll WiFi APs and Controllers must be served by the same DHCP server
VGo must have a constant IP address
oAll WiFI APs should be configured with the same security settings (SSID,
Authentication, Password, etc)

VGo User Guide v1.4.1

Network and PC Requirements for Remote Users
The person who will be operating the VGo remotely must have a PC with the following minimum
configuration:
Windows 7, Vista or XP (with service pack 3). Windows 7 is recommended.
Mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended –this is the easiest way to drive
and control your view
2GB RAM
30MB available hard disk space
Core Duo 1.6 Ghz or greater processor
Camera, microphone and speakers (integrated or separately attached)
PC can be hardwired or wireless
PC cameras with a “face finding” feature in its software is recommended. This helps
fill the VGo’s screen with the user’s face and less of the surrounding background.
For users that will be operating VGo’s in a noisy environment, a headset if
recommended. The headset will reduce background noise heard by people who are
with the VGo and also enable the remote user to better hear sounds picked up by
the remote VGo without having to raise their PC speaker volume excessively.
For users that will be operating VGo’s in an environment with other individuals who
are working nearby, a headset is recommended so that others are not disrupted.
The remote user’s PC must have the following network requirements for successful operation:
Broadband internet access with minimum768Kbps upload speed
If inside the firewall, the following outbound firewall ports must be open:
oPort 5222 (XMPP, TCP)
oPort 3478 (STUN, UDP)
oPort 80 (HTTP Non-Proxy, TCP)

Setting up the VGo
Setting up a VGo for the first time will take about 15 minutes. If you are not already a registered
user on vgocom.com, it will take an additional 5 minutes to setup your account and download
your VGo PC App software onto your PC.
There are 4 steps in the setup process:
1. Setting up the hardware (5 minutes)
2. Setting up the wireless connection (5 minutes)
3. Creating a VGo account and downloading the VGo PC App (5 minutes if not a current
user)
4. Authenticating the VGo with the VGoNet network (5 minutes)
Before you begin –you’ll need to know the name of the WiFi network that VGo will use
and any associated keys/passphrases/password(s) required for connection to that WiFi network.
Depending on the WiFi type, there may be additional information you need –see below in Step
2 –Setting Up the Wireless Connection for more details. (If you do not have this information,
check with the person responsible for the WiFi networks in your facility). VGo cannot be setup
and used if it is not connected to a WiFi network which in turn has access to the internet.
Step 1 –Setting up the hardware
Connecting upper and lower sections
Open the box and remove the VGo upper section (the section with the LCD screen) and
set it aside.
Remove the VGo lower section (the section with the wheels) and place it on the floor.
Hold the upper section vertically with the LCD screen at the top.
Align the upper section stalks with the corresponding sockets in the lower unit –the
front of the LCD display on the upper section should be on the same side as the speaker
grill on the lower section.
Open the latches and hold them all the way up.
Gently but firmly seat the upper section stalks in the lower section sockets and flip the
latches down so they are flush with the supporting stalks on both sides of the VGo.

VGo User Guide v1.4.1

Inserting the battery
Remove the accessories box from the bottom of the VGo shipping box and ensure that it
contains the following items:
oCharge dock
oAC adapter and power cord for the charge dock
oBattery (for the VGo)
oHandheld remote control (with AAA batteries)
Remove the VGo’s battery compartment cover (on the top of the lower section).
Separate the Velcro battery strap to make room for the battery. If you are using the
larger extended life battery, remove the foam spacer block that is taped in place in the
battery compartment.
With the wires on the top, grip the batter by its sides (not by the wires) and gently lower
the battery into VGo’s battery compartment beside the foam spacer block.
Click the connector plug into its socket.
oIf it won’t click in place, try turning the plug around 180 degrees as it only fits
correctly in one direction.
Attach and tighten the Velcro strap to hold the battery firmly in place.
Using the Blue Button Touchpad
During the setup process, you will make selections and enter information using the intelligent
blue button touchpad below the VGo LCD display.
Each button is active only when it is lit (blue). Buttons are context sensitive and so functions
or availability may change depending on what is being displayed on the screen.
Horizontal soft buttons
Each of these three buttons performs the
function as described by the label immediately
above it. For example: Help will often appear
above the right hand button, indicating that
help for that screen can be accessed by a
simple touch.
Arrow buttons
In a four way cluster, these are used to
navigate menus and also to locally control the
remote person’s volume when they are
visiting.
OK /Accept/Select button
Touch here when you need to select a menu
choice.

Step 2 - Setting up the Wireless Connection
Press the Power button found on the rear of the VGo just behind the battery
compartment cover.
The battery should have enough power for the VGo to turn on and be setup. If the
VGo does not turn on, insert the bayonet end of the AC power cord into the socket located just
below the VGo’s power button on the rear of the VGo and the other end into a power outlet.
The VGo can operate normally once the powercord is connected, so you can continue with the
setup. Note that when the powercord is connected directly, the drive system is disabled.
The VGo will take about a minute to boot up and you’ll then see a Welcome screen on
the display. Select Next to configure your WiFi.
After the VGo scans for available WiFi networks, it will display a list of networks it has
detected.
oIf the required network is “hidden” (Non-broadcasted SSID enabled), it will not
be displayed in the list. To connect to a network that is not listed, select Add
Hidden and enter the SSID as supplied by your network administrator and
follow the instructions. You’ll need to know the Authentication type (None,
WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise) and the Encryption
type (None, WEP, TKIP or AES/CCMP)as well as the passkey.
oIf the Authentication type is WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise (these use EAP
authentication certificates - 802.1X), go to Appendix I of this document.
Use the blue arrow keys to highlight your WiFi network and touch the OK button.
oWhen a network is highlighted, it will also display the Authentication type and
Encryption type detected for that network. These settings will be configured
automatically. You can change these settings manually later.
Next enter your WEP key or Passkey using the arrow buttons to highlight the character
and the center OK button to select. Select Accept when you are done.
oIf you don’t see a screen to enter your key, but instead see a screen titled Select
EAP Method, then you are on an Enterprise network that requires certificate(s)
to be loaded on the VGo. Go to Appendix 1 for further instructions.
Next choose the IP Addressing connection type. Most wireless networks use DHCP. If
your network administrator requires a Static IP address, you’ll need the following
additional information –enter this information in the next set of screens:
oIP Address
oSubNetmask
oDefault Gateway
oDNS Nameserver

VGo User Guide v1.4.1
© Copyright 2011 VGo Communications, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 12
The VGo will connect to the network –this may take a minute or two. A green check
mark will appear on the screen and then display a new screen that has an activation key
and says “Please login to vgocom.com . . . ”.Leave your VGo at that screen and
proceed to Step 3 –Creating a VGo account and downloading the VGo PC App.
oNote: If you get an error message, the problem could be with either the VGo’s
connection to the WiFi or the WiFi connection to the internet. Both must be
working for the VGo to display the activation key.

Enabling VGo to Automatically connect to the next WiFi Access Point while driving
(sometimes referred to as “Roaming”)
Your VGo arrives from the factory set to always stay connected to the same WiFi access point.
This prevents your VGo from trying to scan for new access points that may not exist, but of
course limits the driving range of the VGo to within the broadcast range of the access point. If
your WiFi network is comprised of multiple access points then you’ll want to have VGo
automatically sense when the network is getting weak and then switch to the next access point
as you are driving from one place to another.
In the wireless world this feature is called Roaming (no - your VGo will not roam about on its
own, VGo only moves when you drive it).
To turn Roaming On
First, check with your IT manager to find out what frequency is being used for the WiFi
specific network that VGo is connected to. The choices are:
o2.4 GHz
o5.0 Ghz
oBoth
From the Main Menu, move the highlight using the blue left and right arrow keys to
Settings and touch the center OK button.
Highlight Network Settings and touch OK.
Highlight WiFi Roaming and Scanning and touch OK.
Highlight Roaming. If it says Off, then touch OK to toggle Roaming to ON.
Highlight Scan Frequency and touch OK to toggle to the correct setting
o
With Roaming ON, when the VGo determines that it needs to switch to the next WiFi access
point, it will automatically stop moving, you will see the message “Searching for Network,
Please Wait” while it scans for an access point with a stronger signal and then switches to that
access point. The switch to the next access point will take about 3 seconds at which time your
audio, video, and driving is restored.

VGo User Guide v1.4.1
© Copyright 2011 VGo Communications, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 17
If you are at the edge of the range of your WiFi network, and no stronger access points are
available, VGo will re-connect to its current access point and then scan again after about 20
seconds. If you see VGo “Searching for Network” more than once within about 30 seconds, you
should assume that you have reached the outside range of the WiFi network and go back 10 or
15 feet to remain in good WiFi operating range.
If you continue to move further out of range, the message “Your WiFi Signal is Low” will be
displayed and you should not drive further or you may lose remote control of your VGo.
To turn Roaming Off
From the Main Menu, move the highlight using the blue left and right arrow keys to
Settings and touch the center OK button.
Highlight Network Settings and touch OK.
Highlight WiFi Roaming and Scanning and touch OK.
Highlight Roaming. If it says ON, then touch OK to toggle Roaming to OFF.
Launching the VGo PC App
On your PC desktop you will see a shortcut icon that looks like this
1) Double Click that icon to open your log-in window which looks something like this.
2) Enter your username and password (these are the same ones you just created for your
account on the VGo website.)

VGo User Guide v1.4.1

You’ll see your user name with a green circle beside it at the top. The
VGo that you’ll use is listed under “VGos” and you might see other
people’s names under “Contacts”.
The circle indicates “presence” and can be one of three states as
indicated by its color:
Ready
Busy (only one person can use a single VGo at a time)
Grey –Offline, this VGo or contact is not logged in and so is not
available.
If a VGo, most likely, it is powered off or is not connected to the network.
You can rename a contact or a VGo to something other than the assigned username. Using your
mouse pointer, right-click the VGo whose name you wish to change and select the Rename
option.
Type in the new VGo (or contact) nickname and select OK.
Only designated users who have been granted permission by the manager of each
VGo, have access to VGo(s). If a VGo is not in your contact list –you cannot access it. Contact
the manager of that VGo if you want access.
