3. Didn’t manage to connect? Switch to AP mode (LED blinking slowly)

If SmartLink mode did not manage to connect after 3 minutes, you can choose to retry, or switch to AP mode. To make the switch, select ‘AP mode’ and press and hold the reset button on your Catit PIXI Smart device for 5 seconds.

Once the Wi-Fi LED is blinking slowly (once per two seconds), your device is set to AP mode.

For Catit PIXI Smart Mouse Camera only:

If the QR code connection method does not work, tap on ‘Setup‘ to try again using AP mode. On the next screen, select ‘Setup by AP mode‘.

With this mode enabled, go to the Wi-Fi settings in your smartphone, and connect with the Smartxxxx Wi-Fi. Return to the Catit PIXI app.

Please be patient for the app to finish connecting to your Catit PIXI Smart device, as this can take some time (up to 3 minutes). The Wi-Fi LED on your Catit PIXI Smart device will go out briefly during the connection process, but will start to burn steadily once the connection is estabished.
