Our Wi-Fi is located behind the couch....DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM IT'S POSITION! The network you'll want to connect to is the 2.4 Ghz: INFINITUMAE9F_2.4 and the Password is given in welcome email. If you can't find the welcome email, the password is also written on the hard copy of our rules which should have been laid out for you in condo.

You're welcome to use our phone for local calls ONLY!!! The number is 646-142-5427

***PLEASE NOTE*** THIS SYSTEM IS A BIT CONFUSING AND CONVOLUTED! OUR APOLOGIES, BUT THIS IS MEXICO AND NOTHING GOES SUPER SMOOTH WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY... HAVE PATIENCE! WE DID OUR BEST TO EXPLAIN, BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL DEVICES ACT A BIT DIFFERENT AND WE ONLY HAVE TESTED WITH APPLE DEVICES. 

1. We do not have cable! The only way you're going to be able to watch any content is by streaming and you must have a reliable VPN installed on any device you are connecting to the television if you want to stream any content. We recommend the Express VPN app.

2. Unfortunately, with the constant changing updates of system software and technology in general there's no guarantee that these instructions are even going to work or make sense by the time you try to implement them. (Last updated November 2023.)

3. Unfortunately we have not had any luck streaming any content from any app on an iPhone to the smart TV. Don't know why... It's super frustrating! If you have better luck, please let us know what you did! :)

4. The most success we have had is by connecting are laptop to one of the HDMI inputs to the TV using the gray HDMI / Thunderbolt 4 connector on a Mac Book Pro. (if you have a different connector on your laptop we highly recommend purchasing an HDMI adapter that will work with your computer prior to visiting.) Please also note that you will have to connect your computer to the Bose speaker via Bluetooth and possibly change your sound settings within your system settings on your computer to hear it.

5. You are welcome to try to sign into one of the few apps already installed on the smart TV… but no guarantee that is going to work. And if you do not sign out before your exit we are not responsible for any unauthorized charges to your account!

Turn on TV and Bose Soundbar Speaker:

Use black Hisense remote to power on TV. (If for some reason it is not working, move the black Bose speaker away from the TV a bit as it's probably just blocking the sensor.)

Use small black Bose remote to power on blue tooth speaker bar. A green light will appear in the lower left front of speaker, but then it will turn to orange. (Connection to other devices instructions further below.)

Use input button on TV remote to select the following:

HDMI 1 (White cable coming from back of TV): This is an open port to use to connect a portable device. The HDMI cable to use is already plugged into the back of the TV and the other end can be found behind the TV. There are 2 different HDMI adapters to use to plug into Apple devices. (One for an iPhone and one for a laptop. Both should be in the cabinet below TV.) No guarantee that these will work seamlessly (See notes above)… Plug-in, and cross fingers that it works. *We found using the grey HDMI adapter with our Apple laptops works the best (again see notes above).  You will most likely have to change you monitor settings on your computer's system settings to view it properly on the TV, as well as, your sound setting to hear through the Bose blue tooth speaker.

HDMI 2: DVD player (DVD player and remote located in cabinet below TV.)

HDMI 3 (Black cable coming from back of TV): un-used

Air Play: You can stream your content to the TV using Apple airplay... Again, see notes above as this may or may not work!  You might be prompted to input an access code that will display on the television screen. 

BLUE TOOTH BOSE SPEAKER BAR: 

If you would like to connect any device to the Bose speaker, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure power is turned on. You will see a green light in the left corner of front on speaker, that will turn orange after a few seconds.
2. Press the Bluetooth button on remote once and you will see a white light next to green power button. Press again and white light will turn blue. Once blue, the speaker will be discoverable as "Bose Solo" and able to connect to your device. (Unfortunately, you may need to go through this process and reconnect  every time you want to use the speaker.) 

ADDITIONAL: If you press the white home button on the TV remote, you can have access to a few different streaming apps… You’re more than welcome to log into your own personal accounts. Please make sure to log yourself out at the end of your stay… Again, we are not responsible for any charges or stolen personal information due to neglect to log out.

Cabo has a beach color-coding flag system that lets you know the level of safety onsite. Black flags indicate the most dangerous conditions. Red means danger is also present. Yellow advises you to use caution while swimming, and green means the water is safe. White flags means jellyfish are present in water and beach.
