Q2 What should I do if my phone cannot find the Wi-Fi signal of X3?

If there is no Wi-Fi signal of X3 on the system settings page of your phone, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot.
Step 1: Please make sure that the phone can search for other Wi-Fi signals to confirm that the Wi-Fi function of the phone is normal.
Step 2: Please use other devices or computers that support 5GHz Wi-Fi to test whether the camera's Wi-Fi signal can be detected normally.
a: If one of the devices can search for signals (no need to connect), then it proves that the camera can broadcast Wi-Fi signals normally. Please check whether it is the mobile phone lacking support searching for 5GHz Wi-Fi signals (please check the mobile phone specification: if it is not marked to support dual-band Wi-Fi or 802.11a/ac, then it is likely that the phone does not support this); if it is not supported by the phone, please refer to the steps below to switch the Wi-Fi frequency of X3 to 2.4GHz.
--Android: open the app—enter "Settings" and tap "Set the current region to camera"—select Indonesia—click on "Set to the camera", restart the camera and check again.
--iOS: open the phone system settings, select Indonesia under region—return to the app page—reselect the camera's signal—try to connect.

Q3 What should I do if the phone can detect X3's signal, but the app cannot connect?

Please go to the mobile phone system page to check whether the Wi-Fi is connected;

• If the phone still cannot connect to the Wi-Fi, please click on the Wi-Fi, and try again after forgetting the network;

Q5 What should I do if X3 does not turn on?

Step 1: Make sure battery life is sufficient.

• Connect the camera to the power supply, when the indicator light turns red, continue to press the power button to try to turn it on. If it can turn on normally, it may be caused by insufficient battery power, please leave it to charge and test again. If it fails, please disconnect the power and plug it in again after unplugging the battery.

If it still does not turn on, please remove the battery and try again. If you remove the battery and still can't turn on, please contact our service team for further help.
  

Step 2: If you’re charged up, but still cannot turn on your X3, remove the battery and microSD card, and then connect to a power outlet to check the indicator light status. Flashing Red: This means the camera has been connected; please long-press the power button for 1-2 seconds to power on;

• If the camera still cannot be turned on, contact our service team for help.
  
• If the camera can be turned on, the camera itself is working as intended; please install the battery and microSD card one by one to figure out the outlier.
  

Off: This means the camera has not been connected;

• Please use the charging adapter/cable with a phone or other devices to check it is working;
  
• If the camera indicator still is off, contact the service team for support.
