Set up your targets

About 10 minutes. You need your targets, a laser training cartridge or laser pistol (red or infrared), and a phone, tablet or computer with a web browser.

1. Charge

Plug each target into any USB-C phone charger. The charge light on the bottom edge is red while charging and green when full (about 6–7 hours from empty). While plugged in, a target stays off and charges; press POWER if you want to use it.

2. Power on

Press and let go of the POWER button on the bottom edge. The first time, the light blinks blue slowly: its setup hotspot is on. To turn it off, press POWER again (3 blue blinks).

3. Join WiFi

Pick how you want to run it. Not sure? Start with the Target Hub. You can switch later.

Target Hub: the target makes its own WiFi (recommended)

Best for the range, travel, anywhere. No internet or home WiFi needed. Set up the hub first, with the other targets off.

1. Turn on the target you want as the hub.
2. On your phone, open WiFi settings and join coldBORE-Setup-XXXX (XXXX is different on every target). The setup page opens by itself. If it doesn't, open your browser and go to 192.168.4.1.
3. Tap Setup. Under This unit is, choose Hub (recommended). Tap Save. The hub now makes its own WiFi named coldBORE-Hub-XXXX.
4. Turn on your other targets. They find the hub by themselves and flash green 3 times when connected.
5. On your phone, join coldBORE-Hub-XXXX. The password is coldbore. If your phone warns "No internet connection", choose stay connected.

Home WiFi: the hub and targets join your network

Best for a home training room. Targets use 2.4 GHz WiFi, which most home routers provide.

1. Turn on the target you want as the hub and join coldBORE-Setup-XXXX on your phone.
2. Tap Configure WiFi, choose your home WiFi and type its password. Under This unit is, choose Hub (recommended). Tap Save.
3. For each other target: join its own coldBORE-Setup-XXXX, tap Configure WiFi, choose the same home WiFi, set This unit is to Target and leave Hub address blank so it finds the hub by itself. Tap Save.
4. Each target flashes green 3 times when it's connected.

The Hub (recommended) setting uses your home WiFi when it's there and makes its own coldBORE-Hub WiFi when it isn't, so the same hub works at home and at the range.

4. Open the dashboard

Open your browser and go to the hub:

• Target Hub: 192.168.4.1 while your phone is on the coldBORE-Hub WiFi.
• Home WiFi: http://coldbore.local. If that doesn't load, use the hub's IP address from your router's connected-devices list (the name starts with "coldbore"). Reserving that IP in your router (DHCP reservation) keeps it from changing.

Add it to your home screen so it opens like an app. Tap IDENTIFY on a target card and that target beeps and lights white. Can't find it? See Find your hub.

5. Create your getcoldrange.com account

Your account will keep your training history in one place across devices. Hub pairing is coming soon; create your account now and you'll be ready.

What the light means

Start over

Two pinholes on the back, pressed gently with a paperclip while the target is on:

• RESET (tap): restarts the target. All settings are kept.
• BOOT (hold 10 seconds, let go when the light blinks red fast): erases WiFi and setup and reopens the setup hotspot. Use it when you change WiFi or switch a unit between hub and target.

Placing your targets

• Indoors only. Bright sun on the target face blinds the sensors.
• Don't point a target at a bright window or lamp. Light from behind you is fine.
• Keep phones away from the targets: Face ID shines infrared light that a target can mistake for a shot.
• Stand them on any side, or use the magnet spots on the back to stick them to steel.

Dry fire only. Unload, check twice, and keep live ammunition out of the room you train in.
