Why do I see 1970 in the Time screen?

Last updated on Jan 07, 2026

This usually means Ivy was unable to sync the current time from the internet. The most common cause is a weak or unstable network connection.

Try This First

  1. Move Ivy closer to your Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
  2. Reboot Ivy:
    • Press and hold the back button,
    • Confirm shutdown, then
    • Press the back button again to restart.

If the Issue Continues

Please reconfigure Wi-Fi:

  1. Quickly press the back button three times.
  2. Confirm on the screen to enter Wi-Fi setup mode.
  3. Reconnect Ivy using your phone.

Once Ivy reconnects to the internet successfully, the time should update automatically and the 1970 display will disappear.
