1. Confirm you have the latest version of Android OS (9 Pie or later) installed on your device. 
2. Turn the ShotKam on into WiFi Mode (click and hold the control button for 3 to 7 seconds), and open your device's settings. 
3. Select the ShotKam's Wi-Fi network under your device's Wi-Fi setting and allow it to connect. It will say "No internet."
4. Swipe down from the top of your device's screen to expose any notifications. A notification will then alert you that the ShotKam network has no internet access and ask if you want to stay connected. Please check the box next to "Don't ask again for this network" and select "Yes:" 
   
   
   
   
5. You will now be able to successfully connect to the ShotKam mobile app (version 1.6 on Google Play Store).
