First charge
Connect the wireless charging pad to a computer or an USB charger. Your computer might complain that it didn't recognize the new USB device but don't worry, it is only a charger and naive.

If the strap is attached underneath your device, you'll need to remove the strap and place the device on the charger strap side down.

If the strap is attached to the sides of your device, leave the strap on but away from the device and place the device sanded side down.

The device's LED will blink thrice to display battery level.

A full charge takes 2 hours and yields 14 (M8) or 28 (M10) hours of use-time when settings are maxed out. When done charging, the device's LED will stop blinking.

Never leave the device unattended whilst connected to a charger or a computer.
 
 
 
Turn it on
Press the button for 3 seconds then release it to turn it on. The LED will blink 3 times to show battery level : 3 reds equal 0%, 3 greens equal 100%. The LED will now stay off.

There is nothing more to do for it to start logging.

Do not keep the button pressed longer than 3 seconds during startup, it would force the device into safe mode.
 
 
 
Query its status
If you wonder if the device is on, press the button briefly. If it is on, the LED will blink the battery level. If it is off, the LED will stay off.
 
 
 
Switch to WiFi mode
Press the button twice in quick succession to switch to WiFi mode. The LED will become continuous green.

Then connect your computer to Motion's WiFi network and click here or copy/paste http://192.168.0.1/ to your web browser address bar to access your device's website.
