Power on the transmitter
Wait ~10–30 seconds for its setup Wi-Fi network to appear.
Join the transmitter’s Wi-Fi network (hotspot)
On your phone, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to:
R1-XXXX
(XXXX = the serial number printed on the side of the TX)
Password: 12345678
If your phone warns “No Internet”
iPhone: tap Use Without Internet
Android: choose Stay connected (or similar)
Open the setup page
Open a browser (Safari/Chrome) and go to:
http://192.168.4.1:80
(If that doesn’t load, try: http://192.168.4.1 )
Enter your home Wi-Fi details
On the setup page:
Select (or type) your home Wi-Fi name (SSID)
Enter your home Wi-Fi password
Tap Connect
You may see “Data request failed.” That’s OK — the TX can still be joining your Wi-Fi.
Confirm the transmitter is online
Open mywicharge.com
Use:
Email: the email you used to order the kit

You should see your transmitter and its connection status.
First connection is usually within ~1 minute
