Setup guides and technical documentation for your Syxth device.

Initial Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Syxth device for the first time.

  1. Create Your Account Visit the Customer Portal and create an account using the email address you provided when ordering.
  2. Claim Your Device In your package, you'll find a claim code card. Log into the portal and enter this code to link the device to your account.
  3. Charge Your Device Connect the USB-C cable to the charging port on the wristband. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours. The battery indicator bar shows charge level from 0-100%.
  4. Pair Your Earpiece Put your Bluetooth earbuds in pairing mode (refer to your earbuds' manual). Power on the Syxth device. On first boot, it automatically searches for earbuds to pair. Keep the earbuds close to the device. Once paired, you'll hear a confirmation tone. The device remembers this pairing for future use.
  5. Configure WiFi On first boot (or if unconfigured), the device automatically enters setup mode and creates a WiFi network named "Syxth-Setup-XXXX". Connect your phone to this network, then open a browser and go to 192.168.4.1 to enter your WiFi credentials.
  6. Test Your Setup Once connected to WiFi, you'll hear the "ready" tone. Press the capture button once. You should hear a capture confirmation, and within a few seconds, receive a spoken response through your earpiece.

WiFi Configuration

The device connects to 2.4GHz WiFi networks using WPA/WPA2 personal authentication.

Supported Networks

  • 802.11 b/g/n - 2.4GHz only
  • WPA/WPA2 Personal - Password-based authentication
  • Open networks - Supported but not recommended

Not Supported

Changing Networks

From the Portal (Recommended)

Go to Device Settings in the customer portal and enter your new WiFi credentials. The device will connect to the new network on its next restart.

Provisioning Reset Flow

  1. Enter Setup Mode In Device Settings, click "Schedule Provisioning Reset", then restart the device (triple-tap). On next boot it wipes config and enters setup mode.
  2. Connect to Device WiFi On your phone, connect to the "Syxth-Setup-XXXX" network.
  3. Configure Open a browser, go to 192.168.4.1, select your network and enter the password.
Tip: For reliable connectivity on the go, consider using your phone's personal hotspot. This gives you a consistent network that works anywhere with cell service.
Note: The device stores only one WiFi network at a time. Configuring a new network will replace the previous one.

Changing Earbuds

To pair different Bluetooth earbuds:

  1. Put New Earbuds in Pairing Mode Follow your new earbuds' instructions to enter pairing mode. Make sure your old earbuds are turned off or out of range.
  2. Restart the Device Double-press the capture button to restart. On boot, the device searches for available Bluetooth earbuds and will pair with the new ones.
  3. Confirm Connection You'll hear a confirmation tone through the new earbuds when paired successfully.
Tip: The device remembers the last paired earbuds. If you switch back, just restart the device with those earbuds in range and powered on.

Using Your Device

How to capture images and understand device feedback.

Button Controls

  • Single press - Capture photo and get AI response
  • Double press - Restart the device
  • Long press (3 sec) - Replay last audio

Taking a Capture

Position your arm so the camera has a clear view of what you want analyzed: text, products, scenes, etc. Press the capture button once. You'll hear a capture confirmation tone, followed by your AI response through the earpiece.

Audio Feedback Cues

The device uses distinct audio cues to communicate status:

Ready Device initialized and ready
Capture Photo captured successfully
Upload Success Image uploaded to server
Upload Fail Upload failed (will retry)
WiFi Connected Network connection established
WiFi Lost Network connection dropped
Provisioning Setup mode activated
Error Limit reached or error occurred

Best Practices

  • Wait for ready - Listen for the "ready" tone before capturing
  • Good lighting - Works in low light but responds best in bright conditions
  • Hold steady - Keep your arm still during capture to avoid blur
  • Right distance - 30-60cm works best for text; further for scenes
  • Clean lens - Wipe the camera lens occasionally with a soft cloth
  • Restart if stuck - Double-press to restart if responses stop working

Customer Portal

The customer portal provides full control over your device and subscription.

Dashboard

View your devices, subscription status, and recent activity at a glance.

Device Settings

For each device, you can configure:

  • Device Nickname - Give your device a name to identify it
  • System Prompt - Edit the AI's instructions (see Custom Prompts)
  • Processing Mode - Quick (fastest responses) or Smart (best accuracy for math and complex reasoning)
  • Audio Playback Speed - Adjust response audio speed from 0.5x to 2.0x
  • Save Images - Choose whether to save images for later review in your Timeline
  • WiFi Configuration - Update WiFi credentials remotely (takes effect on device restart)

Image History

If image saving is enabled, you can browse your capture timeline, view AI responses, and download or delete images.

Usage & Billing

Monitor your daily request count, view historical usage, and manage your subscription tier.

Custom Prompts

Customize the AI's behavior by editing the system prompt for each device.

Your device comes with an optimized default prompt. In the Device Settings, you can edit this prompt to add specific instructions or modify its behavior. Common modifications include:

  • Changing the response language
  • Adding focus on particular types of content
  • Adjusting response verbosity
  • Adding domain-specific context

Example Modifications

These are examples of lines you might add to the default prompt, not full replacements:

# Language

Always respond in Spanish.

# Language learning

I'm learning Japanese. When you see Japanese text, read it aloud slowly, then give the English meaning.

# Accessibility

I'm visually impaired. Always describe spatial layout, colors, and relative positions in detail.

# Personal context

I have a severe nut allergy. Always flag if any food product contains or may contain nuts.

Tip: The default prompt is optimized for real-time audio assistance. Small additions work best. If you want to start fresh, you can replace the entire prompt, but use the "Revert to Default" button if things aren't working well.
Warning: Drastically changing the system prompt can impact device usability. The default prompt handles many scenarios automatically. Test your changes with various capture types.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions.

Quick fix: Many issues can be resolved by double-pressing the capture button to restart the device.

Device Won't Turn On

  • Ensure the battery is charged (connect USB-C and wait 30 minutes)
  • Check that the charging cable is fully inserted
  • Try a different USB-C cable or power source

No WiFi Connection

  • Verify your network is 2.4GHz (not 5GHz)
  • Check that the password was entered correctly
  • Move closer to your WiFi router
  • Double-press to restart, then wait for WiFi connected tone
  • Re-enter WiFi credentials: hold button 3 seconds for setup mode

No Audio Response

  • Make sure your earpiece is charged and turned on
  • Double-press to restart, then earpiece should reconnect automatically
  • If earpiece won't connect, put it in pairing mode and restart the device
  • Check your daily request limit in the customer portal
  • Ensure WiFi is connected (you'll hear a tone when it connects)

Earpiece Won't Pair

  • Put your earbuds in pairing mode (check your earbuds' manual)
  • Make sure the Syxth device is powered on and not connected to another earpiece
  • Double-press to restart. The device searches for earbuds on boot
  • Bring the earbuds close to the device during pairing

Poor Image Quality

  • Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth
  • Ensure adequate lighting (works best in bright conditions)
  • Hold the camera at optimal distance (30-60cm from subject)
  • Keep your arm steady during capture. Movement causes blur

  • Switch to Quick processing mode in portal for faster responses
  • Complex images with lots of text take longer to process
  • Double-press to restart if responses seem stuck

Device Feels Unresponsive

  • Double-press to restart. This fixes most temporary issues
  • Wait for the "ready" tone before pressing capture
  • If the device won't respond at all, charge it for 30 minutes and try again
