Common Troubleshooting Issues:
Issue: | Recommended Action: |

If the QR code says "Download app", press the black button on top of the monitor to proceed to the correct QR Code If the correct QR code is displayed, close the app on the phone and re-open it to scan again. If neither of those QR codes is showing, you will need to perform a factory reset. Directions for that are below. |
App Error - Failed to get device version information with error: Encryption is insufficient. | When this error occurs, it means that the device you are using will no longer work to connect to Wi-Fi. This is temporary but it is unclear how long it takes to resolve itself. The quickest way to get connected is to try downloading the app to a different device. |

If that does not correct the error, a reset on the phone may be required. • IOS - press the volume up then the volume down buttons, then hold the power button until the apple symbol shows, then release the power button. When the phone restarts, try to open the app and connect to Wi-Fi. • Android - press and hold the power button for up to 20 seconds and wait for it to restart.
