tip

If the screen does not turn on, connect the included USB-C cable to charge the Frame for a few minutes, then try again.

3. Connect to WiFi​

Once the Frame is powered on, it will display a WiFi network name on screen in the format Blotch - WXYZ.

  1. On your phone, open your WiFi settings and connect to the network shown on the Frame
  2. A setup window will appear on your phone automatically
  3. Select your home WiFi network from the list
  4. Enter your WiFi password and tap Connect

The Frame will connect to your home network and proceed to the next step.

Once connected to WiFi, a QR code will appear on the Frame.

QR Code Registration

Scan the QR code with your phone's camera to link the Frame to your Blotch account. If you do not have an account yet, this step will guide you through creating one.

5. You're All Set​

Once linked, the starter Page will appear on your Frame. Your setup is complete!

6. Start Customizing​

For the best experience, head over to the Blotch web app on your computer:

console.blotch.app

From there, you can:

  • Add or remove Widgets on the starter Page to show the information you care about
  • Create new Pages with different layouts and Widgets for different purposes
  • Set up a Schedule to control which Page appears at different times of the day
tip

Try showing a Page with train times and your calendar in the morning, and switching to a Page with your to-do list, financial updates, or your favorite web comic in the evening. The possibilities are endless!
