4. After your device connects to your SkyTrak Launch Monitor's Wi-Fi, launch/return to the SkyTrak application
5. It will now set up a connection in Direct Mode. This can take a few minutes; it will be ready when you see the indicator on the top right reflect

 5. Close the window in your upper right. Go to homepage of the Skytrak app, wait for connection, Skytrak lights will turn all green when connected successfully. 

 (If you are still waiting and solid yellow, please check your device's network settings to ensure you are back on your own WiFi network, and power cycle your unit if needed.)

Add a Network Manually 

1.  If your SkyTrak does not recognize any WiFi networks, it will display this screen:

    

   

    

   2. Select "Manually Add Network". The default setting for security type is OPEN, which is not true of most home networks and must be changed to successfully connect to the network. Enter your network's name and password.

    

   

    

   4. Select the Security Type field to activate the drop down menu, and scroll down.

    

   

    

   Most home networks will use WPA2-AES security. If you have specific legacy devices that may not support this type of encryption, please choose WPA2-Mixed. 

    

   Make sure to reconnect to your desired network after the middle LED indicator displays solid yellow on your SkyTrak Launch monitor.
   
   In the event that manually adding your network is persistently failing, or you do not know your security type, you may exit the network setup wizard using the X icon on the top right of the wizard, and try the scan again. The SkyTrak Launch monitor is more likely to recognize more networks with multiple sequential scans. If you are able to select your network from the network scan, your security type will be set automatically.
