    • To use the FixHub Web Console, you need a browser with Web Serial enabled. We recommend Brave, Chrome, Edge, or Opera as they include this functionality enabled by default.

    • Firefox (and its derivatives) and Safari don't support Web Serial at this time.

    • Plug the Portable Power Station into your computer, making sure the cable is connected to the power station's rear port (the side opposite the screen).

    • Ensure your cable is capable of data transfer. Otherwise, you won't be able to use the web console.

    • Navigate to iFixit.com/FixHub/console
