Set up your Sora 30 P3

1. Charge it. Plug the charger in indoors, somewhere cool and dry, and connect the robot. It arrives part-charged, so a yellow light is normal. A full charge takes about 4.5 hours, and the light turns solid green when it's done.
2. Get the app and an account. Download the Beatbot app from the App Store or Google Play, create an account with your email, and sign in.
3. Pair it by Bluetooth. Turn on Bluetooth and location on your phone, tap Add Robot in the app and stand next to the Sora 30 P3. Put it into pairing mode (hold the mode switch for 5 seconds until the light flashes blue), then pick it from the list. If it doesn't show, scan the QR code on the robot or add it manually.
4. Connect it to your WiFi. Choose your home network and enter the password. The Sora 30 P3 works on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi, so either band is fine. Keep it within about 40 m of your router while you set it up.
5. Put it in the pool. Take out toys and towels, keep people and pets out, and turn your pool pump off for the best result. Lower it into the water along the wall. It settles on the floor within about 2 minutes and starts cleaning. When it's done, it floats up and parks at the edge. Lift it out and it drains itself.
