Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
Why doesn’t the Power OK light come on when I plug in the USB cable?
The most likely cause of this problem is the USB cable is faulty. Try another one if you have a spare. Similar
cables to Smart Foals custom USB charger cable can be purchased from Jaycar and Jaycar stockists. The part
number is PP1985. The TIP is positive.
I have changed my WiFi password, what do I do?
If you need to change the password saved in your WiFi base station box simply push the Password Erase
button.
You will need to push it with a pen or something small (it is like that on purpose, so you don’t accidentally
bump it and erase all your WiFi settings). Then go through the WiFi configuration again; i.e. connect to the
Smart Foal network, go to 194.168.4.1, enter your WiFi network name and new password.
Additional notes on fitting the transmitter
If you don’t have a leather pouch:
After you attach the transmitter to the halter it is a good idea to wrap the transmitter Velcro with vetwrap
(adhesive bandage). You want to prevent anything (like fencing wire, feed bins etc.) getting caught between
the transmitter and the halter. If the mare gets caught she may panic and pull her head away. The Velcro isn’t
strong enough to withstand that force, so the Velcro will tear. If you use a bit of vetwrap over the Velcro you
can prevent the mare getting caught in the first place and also look after your Velcro.
