Step 1

Enter Setup Mode:

If you have a silicon cap, please remove it during this process and replace after your gauge is connected to WiFi.

  1. Press and hold down the button on top of your Alice gauge. After about 6 seconds the light will turn yellow or aqua. Keep holding.

  2. After 10-15 seconds the light will turn bright green. Release the button after approximately 15 seconds even if you do not see a change in color.

  3. The light will flash red, and then blink blue, which means your gauge is now in setup mode. If you did NOT see the red flash before the blue blinks, you are NOT in setup mode.

    Note: If you run out of time during this process, the light will stop blinking and Alice will go to sleep. Simply hold the button down again for 10-15 seconds and start again.

    Note: If you hold the button down so long that the light turns RED while you have the button held down, you have gone beyond the setup mode. Please start over, and release the button when it turns BRIGHT GREEN (2nd light). THEN you will see a red flash, and then the blue blinks.

Step 5

The light on your Alice gauge will flash green, then stop blinking altogether. You can close the WiFi connection screen on your phone.

Note: if the light continues to blink blue, then your gauge did not connect to your WiFi. Reopen settings on your mobile device and repeat steps 2-5.


Step 6

Now that your gauge is connected to WiFi, you can take a manual reading or simply wait 6 hours for the gauge to take the first reading automatically (it will continue to take readings every six hours thereafter).
