Hi @David.Kupitz Thanks for your patience.
While looking into this more I’ve learned that the way you’ve been doing it (labeling “up” while looking down at the salamander) is correct for ARW and the way Hotspotter was trained on it.
I’ve also learned that the help doc you referenced will need to be rewritten for better clarity since the way we explained up and down aren’t relative to the animal’s point of view and contributed to the confusion. We’re in the middle of internally migrating our help pages, so I won’t be able to make the update until that’s complete. The links will stay the same, this only changes how we publish those pages.
I’m sorry for the extra churn. 
This had confused a few of my teammates until we completed our research.
