TROUBLESHOOTING

1.Device setup failure when using the UbiBot App

There are several factors that can affect the setup process. The followings are common
issues:

①WiFi setup mode: Make sure you turn on the WiFi setup mode. (The device indicator

flashes alternate red and green).

②WiFi frequency: The WS1 can only connect to 2.4GHz networks, channels 1-13.
③WiFi password: Go through the WiFi setup again and ensure that you have set the

correct WiFi password for the network.

④WiFi security type: The WS1 supports OPEN, WEP, or WPA/WPA2 types.
⑤WiFi channel width: Make sure it is set to 20MHz or "Auto".
⑥Baery problems: WiFi uses a lot of power. Your device may be able to power on but

may not have enough power for the WiFi. Try replacing the baeries.

⑦Signal strength. Check you are in range for your WiFi, or if using mobile data, make

sure you have a good signal.

19

TROUBLESHOOTING

2.Failure to Sync Data

Please check the following:

①Press the power buon to manually sync data. If the indicator flashes green, then the

sync is working. If it flashes red once then there is another problem. Try the next steps.

②Check that the device has sufficient baery power for the WiFi to work. WiFi takes a

lot of power -- the device may be on, but unable to connect to the WiFi. If you have
access to recent readings from the device, check if the voltage has dropped below 2.6v.
If so, try changing the baeries.

③Make sure your device's WiFi router has a working Internet connecon (for instance,

try to access www.ubibot.io using a mobile connected to the same WiFi).

④If you are using mobile data, check that your SIM card is acvated. If it is, check that

your baeries or USB power connecon are able to provide 2A current. Check if your
mobile data allowance is used up.

20

3.Can I Use the Device without a Network Connection? How do I Access the
Data?

The device will connue working without a network connecon and can store over
300,000 readings in its memory. Real-me readings are displayed on screen and you can
access the data in the following ways:

①Move the device to an area where there is a WiFi connecon which the device can

connect to. Press the buon to trigger a manual data sync. The indicator should flash
green for a few seconds. You can now take the device back to the measurement locaon
(Recommended).

②Use your mobile phone and enable Internet Connecon Sharing. This can work well

when your devices are installed in an area with limited or no WiFi coverage.

③Use a Windows laptop and the Micro USB cable to connect to the device manually.

You can now perform a data export to your computer using the PC Offline Tools.

④Set it up with a mobile data card* (see p.13). Once you are in range of the network,

press the power buon once to sync all data with the IoT plaorm.

Depending on the specific model purchased.

4. WiFi Connection Problems

Please refer to the list of potenal issues above.
If your WiFi password has changed, or if you move the device to a new WiFi environ­ment, you need to go through the WiFi setup again (p.06).

5.Why are my device Temperature readings not accurate?

The measured temperature may be affected by several factors, thus the device may
temporarily show inaccurate temperatures during and aer the inial setup. Please visit

www.ubibot.io/category/faqs/ to view the specific causes and corresponding soluons.

Please ensure you are using a USB data cable with 4 wires. Many cheap USB cables are
only able to provide power.

For any other problems, please visit www.ubibot.io/category/faqs. Alternatively,
email customer support at [e-mail] to get assistance.
