Quick Device Setup Guide

Doublecheck your Sentinel

• The MicroSD card is inserted inside

You can doublecheck the contents of the microSD card with any standard card reader.

• Batteries are inserted (and secured with a strap)

Sentinel can take anywhere from 2-7 batteries - for deployment we recommend to stack your Sentinel with all 7 batteries. You might have received a charger with your Sentinel. If you're unsure about how to charge batteries for your Sentinel please reach out to [e-mail]

Ensure all batteries are fully charged when you deploy your Sentinel. If some batteries are not fully charged it may cause issues with your device.

• No internal cables are loose

• Switches on!

  • Note, this is just quick test to ensure the Sentinel is powered by the batteries. You can ignore the colors/meanings of the LED lights for now. The on-off switch is just above the LED lights.

  

  • You can switch the Sentinel back off after this short test.

• Has a mounted antenna

We recommend that you unmount antennas when transporting the Sentinel

• Has a mounted Spypoint cable

  • Connect the microUSB end of the Spypoint cable to the matching port on the Sentinel.

  • Turn the plastic cap around the microsUSB to create a waterproof connection

Due to the rubber ring inside the plastic cap you might have to apply some force when turning the plastic cap in order to create a stable, waterproof connection

• Example video showing Spypoint cable mount TBD

Proceed to the SENTINEL SETUP AND DEPLOYMENT SECTION to actually deploy your Sentinel.
