1. Start the T-POD or T-BOX by powering up the T-BOX or placing the T-POD into the water. (Use a wet paper towel to power
up the T-POD if at home)
2. Go to “WiFi” setting and be sure it is “ON”. Your SonarPhone system is transmitting and WiFi signal and you should see it
on your WiFi networks listing.
3. Select the WiFi SonarPhone source you wish to use, at this point if several other SonarPhone's are being used nearby, you
will see them as well, but as you will soon find, they are protected by a security code the primary operator of the system.
Ask them for the Security code so they can share their signal with you. If you are using the system by yourself the WPA
security code from the factory is 12345678.
4. DO NOT leave the WiFi settings screen until you see you are connected to the WiFi channel you have selected.
5. Now that your WiFi is connected you can open the SonarPhone app.
6. It is CRITICAL at this point you DO NOT hit the option to CONNECT NOW when the Sonarphone home page comes
up. You must FIRST touch the MASTER button to establish your device as the master. If you do not have a Master
controlling the Sonarphone, it will not allow you to connect.
7. When you Select Master, it will ask for password and it again is 12345678 then hit enter.
8. Once accepted you can select start or hit the “Connect Now” button.
9. Remember, your SonarPhone factory default is set to run in the “demo” mode, so you will need to go to the menu key and
turn off the demo to start seeing the actual sonar signal from the SonarPhone transmitter.
IMPORTANT: WiFi signal range can be effected by many external factors. While good conditions allow for a 300 foot (90 meters) range, the
actual distance you could experience may be plus or minus 20% of this distance. WiFi technology is greatly limited indoors and is best to keep in
line of site for best performance. If mounting T-BOX, be sure to place it as high in the boat as possible and never in a metal lined compartment
which will really shorten your transmit range.
Samsung Owners
need to know “WiFi with internet connection” must be turned off in your advanced WiFi settings to receive the WiFi only signal from
Sonarphone. If testing at home be sure you are no longer connected to home WiFi as some devices will default back to your home WiFi settings
and not allow you to connect to SonarPhone.
