What is Recovery Mode?

Need to reconnect your Vestaboard to Wi-Fi? Recovery Mode helps when your Vestaboard:

• Loses its network connection unexpectedly
• Moves to a new location with a different network
• Can no longer connect due to changed Wi-Fi credentials (name or password)

Starting Recovery Mode

• Gently lift the frame from the bottom for 10 seconds.
• Place the frame back down to see one of two patterns, depending on your firmware version:
  • A rainbow pattern (latest firmware version)
    
  • The words "RECOVERY MODE" (schedule time to upgrade your firmware)
    

• Once you see either pattern, your Vestaboard is ready to reconnect to Wi-Fi. You should also now see a temporary Vestaboard network in your device's Wi-Fi settings.
• Open the Vestaboard mobile app and navigate to the Settings menu. Re-connect to your Wi-Fi network by tapping the arrow next to your network.

Troubleshooting Tips

If Recovery Mode fails to initiate or isn't working properly, follow these steps:

• Confirm your Vestaboard is not connected to an Ethernet connection, as Recovery Mode is only compatible with wireless connections.
• Power cycle your Vestaboard by unplugging and plugging it back in. Then try engaging Recovery Mode again.
