This article explains how to enable and disable the external antenna on your Spider X.
Note:
The default antenna setting for the Spider is set to internal.
The external antenna configuration should be switched to the ON position, only if you have an external antenna installed and connected to your Spider X, otherwise, this needs to be in the off position.
To enable or check the status of the Spider X antenna configuration, you will first have to make sure that you have the latest version of the Spidertracks App.
The Spidertracks App can be downloaded from both the IOS App Store and Google Play. Search 'Spidertracks' to find the app.
1. Open the App
2. Login with the details that you used to sign up with on app.spidertracks.io
3. Tap More
4. Tap Spider Connection
5. Select 'Advanced Set Up'
6. You will now receive a message that says 'Confirm you have permission to adjust these settings'
The external antenna configuration should only be used if you are using the Spider with an external antenna, otherwise this needs to be in the off position. If you don't know contact your account owner, or contact support@spidertracks.com.
Note: The Spider needs to be in close proximity to the mobile device with the Spidertracks app loaded so it can connect via Bluetooth.
7. Toggle the external antenna to on.
DO NOT ENABLE CELLULAR ANTENNA CONFIGURATION
Please Note: A SpiderX is versatile, it can be used with or without an external antenna.
