Take the platform out of the packaging and stand it on a flat surface where it can stay. It arrives assembled — there is nothing to put together.

Plug the USB-C cable into a mains adapter and let the battery charge. To switch the platform on, press the button once, then press and hold it for about five seconds and let go. Around ten seconds later the LED starts blinking — that is the boot.

On your phone or laptop, open WiFi settings and connect to the network named Chrono-Gate-XXXX. A captive portal will open — enter your home WiFi credentials.

Your platform will connect to the Chrono Gate network within 30 seconds. The e-ink display will show your unique platform ID.

Log in to your Dashboard and click "Set location" on your platform. Choose your coordinates on the map — this registers the reception point permanently.

Your platform is now a permanent node in the global network. Coordinates are locked, timestamp is permanent. We are here. We are waiting.
