Unboxing

Unbox your monitor by simply lifting the top section off. You may need to wiggle it but otherwise it should just slide off.

Check the light indicator on the white tip: if there is a flashing blue light, it's good to go, otherwise it will need to be charged.

Unbox the wireless charger and cable, located under the interior packaging, which may also need some wiggling to remove.

Charging

Monty Monitor is powered by wireless charging to keep the internal components nice and dry.

Plug the wireless charger into a power point. Centre your Monty on the charging pad. A yellow or red light should emit from the Monitor, indicating how low the battery is.

Once your Monty is properly positioned and emitting a charging light, it will automatically begin charging. Leave it in place for at least 1 hour and then you're ready to go!

Connecting

To connect your Monty Monitor, make sure that the Monitor is charged, flashing a blue light and within 10-20 metres of your mobile device.

Download and install Monty Mobile from your smartphones app store, launch it and follow the on-screen instructions to create an account. This includes both compost pile and weekly waste profiles, at which point you will be prompted to pair with your Monitor.

Once connected, your Monitor data will start streaming in. On the first time it may take up to 5 minutes but subsequently it will only be 10-20 seconds.
