Start Question Do this Finish YESNO Your answer

1Install and power on

Mount the timer, plug in the harness and turn on 24 V AC power. The display lights up in a few seconds.

Before you begin, have these ready

  • The timer's serial number (on its label)
  • A phone, tablet or laptop with Wi-Fi
  • A plastic stylus for the setup button
  • Your bay's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi name and password, if connecting

2Will this timer connect to the internet?

Wi-Fi adds remote settings, remote start and revenue reports. The timer works without it.

3Did we pre-set your Wi-Fi at the factory?

See "Set at the factory" in your Quick Start Guide.

4Can you turn on a hotspot on your phone?

It's the fastest way to get the timer online.

5Set up as a standalone timer

  1. Wait 5 seconds after power-up, then press the setup button once. A red dot appears at the bottom right.
  2. On your phone, join the Wi-Fi network POGO-Wash-XXXX (no password).
  3. The setup page opens. If it doesn't, go to 192.168.4.1 in a browser.
  4. Set your prices, time per coin and bill, and messages. Tap Save.
Setup mode ends after 10 idle minutes.

6Let the timer connect on its own

Your timer already has your network name and password. It joins your Wi-Fi by itself within a minute or two.

To check, press the setup button once. Two green dots at the bottom left mean it's online.

Not online after 5 minutes? Your network may have changed. Go to box 4.

7Connect through your phone's hotspot

Set your phone's hotspot to exactly:

Network namewashme Password123456789

Turn it on and keep the phone near the timer. The timer joins on its own in a minute or two.

iPhone: rename the phone to washme (Settings > General > About > Name), turn on Maximize Compatibility and keep the hotspot screen open. Android: use the 2.4 GHz band.

8Enter your Wi-Fi on the setup page

  1. Press the setup button once and join POGO-Wash-XXXX on your phone, as in box 5.
  2. Open WiFi Settings and turn on Enable Wifi.
  3. Enter your network name and password exactly, then tap Save.
  4. Two green dots at the bottom left mean it's online.
2.4 GHz only. If your router shares one name across 2.4 and 5 GHz, give 2.4 GHz its own name.

10Test before you open the bay

Insert a real coin and bill. Check that the right time is added, the pump turns on at the start and off when time runs out, and the horn and card reader work.

9Add the timer to your POGOWash.com account

  1. Sign in or create a free account at www.pogowash.com.
  2. Go to Devices > Add Device and enter the serial number.
  3. Change settings, start washes remotely and view revenue from your dashboard.
Used your phone's hotspot? Move the timer to your bay's Wi-Fi now: in the dashboard, open the timer's settings, enter your 2.4 GHz network name and password, and save. Once the timer is online on the new network, turn off the hotspot.
