This article applies to Guardian series home standby generators. See Is the Wi-Fi Kit Compatible with My Generator? to confirm this product and process is applicable. If you purchased the aftermarket Wi-Fi/Ethernet device, see: How Do I Install the Wi-Fi/Ethernet Device on an Air-Cooled Generator?

To install the Wi-Fi kit:

1. Remove the Identification Tag on the new Wifi Module. IMPORTANT: DO NOT LOSE THIS TAG. This information is needed later for Mobile Link account creation.

Note: This tag is adhesive. It is strongly recommended that this tag be attached to the front inside wall of the generator, behind the front panel, near the generator serial number label. This is where this label is located when installed at the factory.

2. Locate and remove the gray plug on the back of the home standby generator. If the plug is difficult to remove, use the supplied wedge to loosen the plug to ease removal.

3. Using the supplied wedge, remove the clear plastic retainer holding the connector plug. retainer cover and plug can be discarded.

4. Connect the WIFI accessory with the generator connector plug. Make sure the connectors "click" into place.

5. Locate the TOP of the WIFI accessory. With TOP facing upward, gently replace the wiring into the generator opening and push the WIFI module into place until the two tabs "click."
