Aligning the Spike Laser to the Camera
IMPORTANT TO NOTE...
Before using your Spike for the rst time, you need to ensure that the laser is
aligned with the camera of your smartphone or tablet.
You must calibrate the Spike laser the rst time it is used with a new smartphone
or tablet. After a smartphone or tablet has been calibrated with Spike, it does
not need to be calibrated again. If Spike is removed from the device, ensure that
Spike is returned to the same location as when it was calibrated.

1 In the Spike app, go to the Settings, and select
Align Laser.
2 Rest your smartphone on top of a at, hard
surface, such as a table top. Then hold your
smartphone vertically and aim it towards two
objects that are at different distances, for
example the edge of a door. Ensure that the
closest object has a vertical edge.
The distance between the two objects should be
at least 15 feet (5 meters).
You can use the vertical edge of an open door
and the wall of the room behind it.
3 Slowly move your smartphone sideways
and check that the distance measurement
changes when the crosshair in the center of
the screen moves on and off the vertical edge.
4 If the measurement changes at the point where
the crosshair moves on and off the vertical
edge, your laser is correctly aligned. If this
does not happen at the correct point, tap on
the left and right blue arrows to adjust to the
correct point.
