What do I use the Vector app for?
The key thing you’ll need the app for is setting up Vector, getting him connected to your home WiFi network for the first time.
Once the app gets Vector going, you’ll want to keep it around for things like seeing what he’s doing, checking the photos you have him take, reviewing the people he’s met, or getting suggestions on how to use a voice command.
The Vector app is there to help you when you need help with Vector. See below for what you can use the app for after getting started.

Update settings

- Check networks
- Change Vector’s eye color
- Turn the volume up or down
Open the Vector app and go to Settings then tap Preferences in order to:
- Change Vector’s location
- Change the time zone
- Select if you prefer units in the metric or imperial system... or a mix of both
- Change the language (remember, it’s best to choose depending on your accent, not on your physical location)
Any changes in the Settings are sent from the App to the robot and from the robot to the Cloud (excluding photos, and volume and eye color). See this FAQ for further information about resetting, erasing or restoring Vector.
Connect to another Vector
If you have more than one Vector, disconnect from one via the app in “Settings” before connecting to another. See this FAQ for further details.
