OK, maybe it's still trying to turn on now. How about the switch? Uh, did you make sure that it is, um, switch to, uh, on? OK. Did you press the reset button on the child node? How many times did you press it? OK. You may actually press and hold it for 25 seconds, ma'am, if you're doing the reset.
05:00
Speaker 1
I pressed and held it for 25 seconds. Is it supposed to be blue like the main one? Okay, well, it's okay. It's a solid color, but it's not purple or blue. It's just a sort of like
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay, we'll just wait again for the for the light to turn solid, okay. It will turn blue, ma'am, if it's connected, if it's online. But, if it's not online, it will stay solid red. So, after the reset, Okay, after a reset, since [silence] we pressed the reset button, the light could turn solid purple.

dark gray is. on the child node right now. but is it solid or it's still t it's still blinking okay when you press the reset okay ma'am when you did the reset did you so you see the LED indicator on top turned off and you see the blue light. there.
07:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now it's red. Now it's red. Yeah. No, it's solid. Go to... I don't understand... I don't understand what you're telling me to do. Right. And it's... it's right there, it's like a foot from it.
08:00
Speaker 2
You did not notice? Okay. Is it solid red or it's blinking? [silence] It's solid red, okay. All right, can we go to your parent node please? And then try to do the five press, okay? Um this is for us to pair the uh parent node to the child node. [silence] So, Okay, you move the okay, I asked you to move the child node to the parent node, right? Close to the parent, no, the parent node ma'am is the one connected to the modem, the link is parent node. How far? Yeah, okay. So what we're going to do since
08:00
Speaker 1
Okay, you're talking about, you're, you're talking about the device that's not connected to the modem. Okay, that, that's the one you want me to push the reset button on?
09:00
Speaker 2
Right now we've reset the child node to factory defaults. We are going going to pair them back, okay? Since the child node is disconnected. So, to pair them we need to do the five press. So, to perform the five press, Misharen, we need to press the reset button on the parent node five times. Okay? So, just uh, just press the reset button once and do it five times. Do not press and hold it, just press it once. So, it's like press release, press release, press release. Do it five times. That's on the parent node. It's the one which is connected to the modem. That's the parent. We call it the parent node because that's the main node. Yes. Five times. And
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's blinking yellow. Okay, the other one now, the child mode is now blinking red.
10:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Need to press the reset button five times on that node. Okay, so that's actually trying to search for any child nodes, nearby child nodes, so we'll just have to wait for it. Now, check the child node, Lightning. Okay, so it's trying to talk to the parent node now. So we'll just wait for it. It takes around three to four minutes before it can establish a connection. So we'll wait for the for the lights to turn solid, Mr. Sherm. While waiting for that, ma'am Can I put you on hold for just about three to four minutes as well? I'm just going to grab a glass of water, will that be okay? Hold on please. Thank you.
10:00
Speaker 1
yes. that's okay. yeah, they're both green or blue.
15:00
Speaker 2
hello ma'am yes hi thank you so much for patiently waiting ma'am I apologize for the hold okay so right now um can you check the lights what are the lights that are lit on the parent node and the child node? [silence] what's the model number for the what's the model number for the HCO ZINえる?
15:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. Okay. it's not going to disconnect again? Okay.
16:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Are they both blue now or green? Yeah. So that means they're both online now. Sharon, the parent node, I mean, the child node is now communicating with the parent node. Yeah. So you may relocate the child node back to where it was. Yeah, just make sure that once you plug it in, make sure it's solid blue or solid green. Okay? So if this happens in the future, Miss Sharon, okay, just do the same thing. You just need to reset the child node to factory defaults and do the five press on the parent node. Okay? So if it keeps on disconnecting, you may, you may try relocating the node. Because maybe the signal strength of that child node is
16:00
