Activating the cellular connection of your Spiio sensor is a crucial step in ensuring it can transmit data effectively. Follow this detailed guide for a smooth activation process:
Initial Activation:
Disconnect the Green Magnet: Start by removing the green magnet from the sensor. This action enables the sensor to initiate the connection to the cellular network.
Monitoring Connection Status:
Indicator Lights: Pay attention to the sensor's light to monitor its connection status.
Green Blinking Light: Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network. Wait for the light to stop blinking green before proceeding.
Red or Magenta Blinking Light: Signifies an unsuccessful connection attempt.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues:
Reattempt Connection: If you encounter a red or magenta blinking light, follow these steps:
Replace the magnet on the sensor.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Remove the magnet again to retry connecting to the network.
Achieving Successful Connection:
Secure the Green Magnet: Once the sensor displays a steady green light, indicating a successful connection, replace the magnet on the sensor to finalize the activation process.
If Connection Fails:
Further Steps: In case the green light is not achieved after several attempts:
Consider using an alternative sensor.
Try relocating the sensor to a nearby site with potentially better cellular reception.
Reach out to support for further assistance.
Important Note:
Magnet Placement: Ensure the green magnet is replaced correctly on the sensor. Incorrect placement may result in a red or magenta blinking light, indicating an issue with the sensor's status.
By following these steps carefully, you can effectively activate your Spiio sensor's cellular connection, ensuring it is ready to monitor and transmit soil condition data reliably.
