Interface Instruction We've designed the app to be pretty intuitive when on-boarding a new Hotspot, but sometimes a little additional information can help clear up any lingering questions about what to do next. Step 1: Download the app: ● iOS https://apps.apple.com/app/id1450463605 ● Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helium.
Step 2: Sign in or Create Account: ● Don't forget to write down your 12 word seed phrase, and keep them safe!!
Step 3: Plug in the Hotspot: ● Pretty easy, right? Plugging it into the outlet automatically powers it up. It can take a few seconds for the lights to come on while it boots. ● Please review the placement recommendations to ensure that your hotspot performs to the best of its ability. The better your hotspot can do its job, the more likely you are to earn rewards.
Step 4: Set up the Hotspot: ● In the app, go to the Hotspots tab at the bottom of the screen and click the green Set up Hotspot button. That will walk you through pairing up over Bluetooth. ● FYI, this is done through the app, it won't show in the phones’ Bluetooth devices' area. ○ Note that both Bluetooth and Location Services need to be enabled in both the phone settings as well as the app settings.
Step 5: Connect to the Internet: ● This can be done by selecting an available WiFi network or plugging in an Ethernet cable. ○ If you have trouble connecting, please check out the Network Troubleshooting Guide for some tips.
Step 6: Add the Hotspot to the Blockchain: ● Depending on when exactly your Hotspot was produced, it may require a firmware update as well. You'll see a page in the app of this if it's required. In that case, you just need to leave it plugged in and connected to the internet for about 15 minutes...so you can take a break, go grab a coffee, watch some TV, etc, and then come back, re-pair over Bluetooth, and proceed through the steps.
Step 7: Set your Location: ● There will normally be a $40 fee to set your location (also paid in Data Credits), but the first time you set the location we cover this fee for you (in the future, there may be a cost for updating to a new location). The fees are used to validate and safeguard the network. ● Once past this screen, you can specify the location by zooming in on the map and Confirm Hotspot Location. ● Note that this is not done automatically and is required before tokens can be earned.
Step 8: You're done! ● Please allow 24-48 hours to fully sync the blockchain. ● Once it's synced, and if you're data hungry or curious, you can monitor your Hotspot and the Network from within the app, or from one of the two following pages: ○ Our network visualizer and block explorer: https://network.helium.com/coverage ○ Our Dashboard: http://dashboard.helium.
