Let's get started

The Motorola Cellular MultiSensor senses temperature,
humidity, water/flood, light intensity, shaking/acceleration,
presence of AC power, cell signal quality, and backup battery
status. Please see
about these sensors.

Installing the MultiSensor

The Motorola Cellular MultiSensor is easy to install. Here's
what to do:

1 Switch on the MultiSensor's backup battery.

The battery's switch is shown below. Use a paper clip,
pen, or similar pointed object to gently move the slider to

1 position (Battery ON).

the

Sensor Details on page 14 for specifics

Keep the switch in the ON position unless you're not
going to be using the MultiSensor for a long period of
time and you want to save battery power. Note that the
battery will only charge when it is in the ON position.

2 Plug the MultiSensor into a power source.

Typically, you plug the MultiSensor into the included USB
power cube, and then plug the USB power cube into an
AC wall outlet that's powered on. If you plan to use the
MultiSensor's water-sensing probe, you'll want to plug the

2

sensor and cube into a power outlet near the source of a
possible "flood". If you're not using the probe, think about
which sensors you want to use and place the MultiSensor
accordingly.

Here are some other possible sources of power:

a. A computer's USB port. To ensure consistent power

supply, the computer should be configured to be
running all the time. (Note: the heat generated from
the computer may affect the MultiSensor's
temperature and humidity readings.)

b. A suitable USB power bank. A USB power bank is

useful if you want to run the MultiSensor for more
than 2 days without AC power. Care should be
taken in selecting a compatible power bank as many
power banks have auto-shut off features that
cannot be disabled. For compatible power bank
suggestions, please see
www.motorolanetwork.com/PowerBanks

3 If you want to monitor for "flood", plug in the water-

sensing probe.
Plug the included water-sensing probe into the micro-USB
port on the MultiSensor as shown. You can put the probe
on the floor, or you can mount it on a wall or post if you
prefer.

The water sensing probe works when the metal probes
both make contact with water. When the water sensor is
on a floor, the metal probes should rest on the floor.

The flood cable length is 5 feet. If you need a longer cable,
you can plug the flood cable into a Micro-USB Extension
Cable, which has a micro-USB male connector on one end
and micro-USB female connector on the other end. These
are inexpensive, and various lengths are available online.

Setting up service using the
MultiSensor app or a Web browser

Now that you have the hardware installed, you can connect
and configure your device using the web browser or the
Motorola MultiSensor app on an iPhone or one of the many
popular Android phones made by Motorola, Samsung, and
many other companies.

smartphones, iPads, and other smart devices. If you are going
