First of all, charge up MiTail. Simply connect the charger to MiTail with the supplied USB-C cable. The charger can charge it to around 80% in around 2h 15 minutes. (Using your own USB type A to C cable wont charge your tail.)
Download the app from the app store. Search for “The Tail Company” or scan this QR code:
Switch on MiTail by pressing the power button for 2 seconds. Its at the body end, under the fur. Please note, you can use MiTail whilst its charging, but not if the batteries are completely dead. So for the first time, please give MiTail a really good charge!
Run the app! Agree to the permissions it requires. It will then look for your tail. After a short while, it should find it. Click “Connect to MiTail”, and you are ready to go!
There is no need to “pair” your tail! Just use the app to search and connect.
When MiTail is running low on batteries, the app’s battery gauge will go red. The red LED on MiTail will also blink to let you know. Time to charge! To switch off MiTail, press the power button for about 4 seconds and MiTail will poweroff. If MiTail is unused for 5 minutes, it will switch itself off to save power. You can also use MiTail with a powerbank when your batteries are low. Just connect it up, and MiTail will charge while it moves. But be careful not to break the USB socket.
