Ottie offers the option to repurpose Ottie boxes within the same company from former users to new ones, provided that the previous owner returns the Ottie box at the end of their subscription.To facilitate this, simply select the “Reuse Ottie box” option when inviting new employees. This will take you to a list of new invitations, where you can specify who will reuse an existing Ottie box and who will receive a new one.It’s important to note that employees who are allocated a reused Ottie box will not have the ability to specify a delivery address. Instead, they will be prompted to contact their company to arrange the collection of a reused Ottie box from the available stock.

You need to power on your Ottie box and then press the reset button for 15 seconds. After that, you will be able to redo the onboarding process with the Ottie app.

If the phone cannot automatically connect, the Ottie app displays a ‘Open Settings’ button that directs you to the Wi-Fi settings. You should then manually connect to the Wi-Fi ottie,-** (or Ottie-Protected). Once connected, the Ottie app will be able to continue the configuration process.
