Recommendation

Device

Specification

Android device

Smart phones, tablets, etc. with Android OS 2.1.X or later

It is highly recommended for users to find a durable Android device (like Motorora Defy, Samsung Galaxy Xcover, etc.), or purchase a silicone cover or the like to protect an existing device from drop shock, or use a strap or chain to hold the device not to drop it to the floor.

WI-FI router

LAN (private access point) is recommended instead of WAN (public access point) because of its stability and fastness.

Consider to use a quality WI-FI router with even directional antenna which may lower security risk and higher stability for distance communication, as well as WI-FI bridge antennas.

Important Notes: Uniwell shall undertake no responsibility for any loss or damage of Android devices that users use for Phoenix, and it is fully considered as user's responsibility to protect any data or software assets as well as hardware assets including Android devices themselves.
