Go at your own pace

  1. Read the whole step before touching a setting. Keep this guide open on another screen if you can.
  2. On a computer, “click” means press the left mouse button once. On a phone or tablet, “tap” means touch the screen once.
  3. After each change, wait for it to finish and check what happened. If your screen looks different, stop and use the maker’s guide for your model.
  4. Keep passwords, recovery codes and payment details private. A child should ask a parent or trusted adult before creating accounts, buying anything or changing security settings.

Locate the actual alert, outage time and device model before contacting Starlink.
