4. Connect the Vector Receiver to the iPad via Wifi.

   • The Wi-Fi network will be named 'Catapult Receiverxx', where xx = Receiver ID, located on the rear of the Receiver.

   • Press the Receiver Network and enter in the password located on the back of the Receiver.

5. Once the Vector Receiver is connected the number of athletes detected is displayed, and the 'Start Activity' button will be visible.
