How to Calibrate Your ChessUp

Important: ChessUp must be calibrated before first use.

ChessUp calibration can shift during shipping, over time, and in different environments. To ensure your ChessUp is operating properly, follow the steps below. Do this before first use, and if you ever experience unexpected behavior from your ChessUp.

Before Calibrating Your ChessUp

• Charge Your ChessUp

  Make sure your ChessUp is sufficiently charged. If you switch the board on and see the low battery icon, charge your ChessUp for at least 30 minutes. Use the provided USB-A to USB-C cable with any USB-A port or USB-A AC charger block specific to your region. For faster charging, use a charger block with greater than 1 amp power supply.

• Allow ChessUp Temperature to Acclimate

  Allow your ChessUp time to acclimate to room temperature before beginning the calibration process. This could take up to 60-90 minutes if your ChessUp was just delivered outside on a hot or cold day.

• Charge Status Indicator

  Once plugged in and charging, the charge status indicator will blink red. Once fully charged, the charge status indicator light will turn solid red and will no longer blink.

Calibrating your ChessUp

• Unplug ChessUp

  Make sure your ChessUp is unplugged before beginning calibration.

• Clear the Board Top

  The top surface of your ChessUp should be empty before beginning calibration. Note: chess pieces must be removed before calibration.

• Power on your ChessUp

  Power on your ChessUp by toggling the power switch to “On.” Wait a moment while the start-up sequence completes. Once the ChessUp icon stops pulsing light, you are ready to begin the calibration process.

• Hold both Settings Buttons

  Press and hold both settings buttons for about 4 seconds. Remove your fingers when you see the Winged Knight icon turn green. Do not touch ChessUp after removing your fingers.

• Success Light Sequence

  You will see a light sequence signifying the calibration process has finished. Your ChessUp will restart after this. Once the startup sequence is complete, your ChessUp is calibrated and ready to use!
