Troubleshooting Network Connectivity

If VuLink has trouble connecting to a 4G network, switching to 2G may help. Launch VuSitu and

follow the instructions below. Contact your cellular provider for coverage details.

connect to a network 

and sync with HydroVu

Connecting to a cellular network can take up to 10 minutes the first time VuLink powers up or 

when VuLink hasn’t been powered up in several weeks or months
