Getting Started

💡

First things first. To get the most out of your Atlas 2, download the latest version of the Vakaros Connect App. Available for either iOS or Android, Vakaros Connect links wirelessly with your Atlas to provide access to a wide range of device settings, firmware updates, telemetry download, a live data view, and more. This is really important; it will make sure that you have the latest software on your Atlas 2, ensuring you have all the latest features. Make sure you have Bluetooth enabled, then search for ‘vakaros connect’ in the store, or simply scan the appropriate code:

After you get the app installed and started, Vakaros Connect will walk you through the process of connecting to your Atlas 2. If your Atlas 2 is not yet powered on (we know how hard it is to not start playing), turn it on by tapping the power button on the top right. Turning our attention back to the app, you should first make an account. After your account is made then you’ll be directed to make a boat profile.

After pressing this button, a screen appears that allows you to add your boat information. Once you enter your boat information and press next you’ll be able to add your device or any previous device you’ve already added to your account.

To get to your home screen where the QR code is to scan in your device, a quick tap on the power button brings up a device screen like this:

Scanning this code will register your device, and also make sure it has the latest firmware. Your Atlas 2 might reboot a few times during this process; wait for the steps to finish before continuing on. We’ll come back to the app, but let’s get ready to dig into the Atlas 2! We’re going to focus first on some key physical parts; the display, the buttons, and the LEDs.

Here’s a video walking you through the unboxing steps.
