      IMPORTANT:
      • Please note that you must connect to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network or the pairing will fail.
      • Most modern routers will have both 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. It is highly recommended to have different Wi-Fi names for both networks so that you can accurately choose the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network name. Please consult your router manual on how to give different Wi-Fi names.
      • If your router auto combines the 5GHz and 2,4GHz Wi-Fi networks together as a single Wi-Fi name, you may not be to pair successfully.
      • This is a limitation of today’s Wi-Fi technologies with SMART LIFE and not a limitation of our smoke detector.
    11. You should see the LED blinking green quickly by now.
    12. Select Blink Quickly.
