Reading the little lights
When you first plug in the map (or press the Check button on the back), it'll flash one of the small lights to tell you how things are going.
| Light | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Steady green | All good! | You're done. Put it on the shelf. |
| 2 red blinks | Can't find the USB stick | Make sure the USB stick is pushed in all the way. |
| 3 red blinks | Can't connect to Wi-Fi | Double-check your Wi-Fi name and password on the setup page. Move the map closer to your router. |
| 4 red blinks | Settings file is missing or wrong | Re-do your settings on the setup page and copy the file back to the USB stick. |
| 5 red blinks | Couldn't reach the score service | Try again in a few minutes. The internet might be having a moment. |
Common questions
Nothing happens when I put the batteries in
Check that both AA batteries are facing the right way (look for the + and − markings inside the holder). It should wake up within a few seconds. If still nothing, try fresh batteries.
The Kings won but the light didn't come on
Press the Check button on the back. If you see a green light, everything's working — the map just hasn't checked the score yet. If you see red blinks, see the table above.
How do I change the color?
Go to the setup page, pick your new color, save the file to the USB stick, and pop it back in the map. Press the Check button to load the new color.
How do I see the celebration again?
Press the Celebrate button on the back of the map. It'll replay the light show and song without needing the internet.
My Wi-Fi isn't working
The map only works with regular home Wi-Fi (the kind labeled 2.4 GHz). Most homes have this — it's the same Wi-Fi your phone uses. If you have separate "5G" and regular Wi-Fi, use the regular one.
How long do the batteries last?
Months. The map sleeps almost all the time and only wakes up briefly to check the score, so the batteries last a long time. You'll know it's time when the green light gets dim.
Can I change my settings later?
Yep. Just visit the setup page again, change what you want, and save the new file to the USB stick. Press Check to load it.
Can I track my other team instead of the Kings?
The map ships set up for the Kings. If you're handy with a bit of code, the details page shows how to swap in a different team. Otherwise, just enjoy lighting the beam!
