After turning on your Delphin for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter some basic info that your Delphin will need to function properly.
After turning on your Delphin for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter some basic info which your Delphin will need in order to function properly.
1. After starting the First Time Setup, select your timezone. Choosing an incorrect timezone can cause certain apps on the Delphin to misbehave.
2. Choose "Setup WiFi on Delphin" and select your home WiFi network.
3. Enter your WiFi password.
We know that typing on such a small screen can be tricky. In a later step you will be shown a simple solution to make entering your remaining app passwords easier.
After connecting to WiFi, you'll be prompted to select a few of our favorite apps to install. We recommend selecting the Amazon Appstore in addition to any other apps you'd like to have.
1. Check the boxes next to any app you'd like to install during setup.
2. Press "Install Selected Apps" and wait. Your Delphin will now download and install your selected apps.
3. Be patient. If you chose several apps, this can take some time. Your Delphin is downloading a lot of data. Feel free to set your Delphin near your WiFi router and come back to it after it has had time to complete its installation.
Remember, you don't need to install every app you want right now.
You can always (A) open the Help App (Blue Question Mark) and select "Install Apps" to choose from the same list offered during First Time Setup or (B) open the Amazon AppStore and search for your desired apps.
Note: some popular apps are not available on the Amazon AppStore, this is why we have provided direct downloads during setup and within the Help App.
This step is optional, but it will make logging into your apps much easier.
Remote connect will enable you to log into your apps using your iPhone or Android smartphone. This is extremely useful when you are getting your Delphin ready for the pool for the first time.
After you have completed setup, you can click on the three white horizontal lines at the bottom of your screen and select Remote Connect, or click the Blue Question Mark to open the Help App and choose Remote Connect. The Remote Connect App will display a QR code on your Delphin's screen. Download and open Remote Connect on your Android or iPhone, then scan the code when prompted to connect to your Delphin.
(Tip: Make sure your Delphin and phone are connected to the same WiFi network before trying to connect.)

Before you head to the pool, you will need to get your apps ready for offline use, as WiFi doesn't work in the water.
Turn on your sound and watch this short video to learn how the process is done in Spotify.
1. Choose the app you’d like to listen to. We will use Spotify for this example.
2. Open Spotify by clicking on the three white horizontal lines at the bottom of your screen and selecting the app. Sign in to your account.
3. Go to your library, which is located in the bottom-right corner, and select a playlist.
4. Download the playlist by pressing the Playlist Settings Icon "⋮" and selecting "Download".
5. Once your playlist is downloaded, test it out by playing it with your WiFi off. If your music plays while your WiFi is off, you're all set!
(Tip: You can turn your WiFi off by swiping down from the top of your screen until you see a volume slider, and selecting WiFi to turn it off. Then, you can swipe that screen away by putting your finger at the bottom of your screen and swiping upward. You can also turn it off by going back to your home screen and clicking the blue question mark to open the Help App > Open Android Settings > Network > WiFi > then toggling WiFi off at the top right.)
