•  Where your network allows your phone to select to connect to operate on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands you must select the 2.4GHz band prior to pairing the iRIS WiFI.

• If your network provides only one option for your phone to select, the iRIS WiFi will automatically select the correct band.

Note: At the time of pairing, the phone MUST be operating on the WiFi network you intend for the iRIS WiFi to use. After pairing is complete your phone can use other networks.

1. On your phone:
