Before you start

1. To make sure the setup process can carry on smoothly, please disable the Power-Saving mode on the phone.

The Deco can only be set up through the Deco app, which is available on Android and iOS.

Here we take Deco X60 for example.

1. Go to Google Play or the App Store to download the Deco app. Install the Deco app on your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.
