  • The Solar Cube device is connected to power and the LED on the POWER button is lit.
  • The network/device identifier starting with SC has been written down.
  • You know the name of the correct home Wi‑Fi network.
  • You know the password for the home Wi‑Fi network.
  • The device is within range of the Wi‑Fi router.
