Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
To access the internal Web UI, connect to the receiver's Wi-Fi hotspot (usually named SOUTH_xxxx) via a phone or PC. Open a browser and enter the default IP address '10.1.1.1'. The default username and password are typically 'admin'.
For receivers with the 'Fast' IMU module (e.g., V3 or Galaxy G4), you can initialize the tilt compensation by shaking the pole back and forth or walking for 2-5 seconds until the initialization is complete.
Firmware updates can generally be downloaded from the official SOUTH website. Refer to your specific model's instruction manual for the correct procedure to apply the update files via USB or Web UI.
For many SOUTH devices, the Wi-Fi hotspot is open without a password, or uses a standard default like '12345678'. Check the label on your specific device or the user manual if a password is required.
