Daily Operation

How to Run the Screen Day to Day:

The easiest way to run your screen is to tell us what schedule you want the screen to be on for each day. We can then set it up so it comes on and off at the set times you ask for.

Manual On/Off Control

  • Alternatively you can turn the screen off using the remote.
  • To turn it back on:
    • Press the power button on the remote, this will take you to the Home screen
    • Press down three times to get to Recently Used Apps, Press the circular select button on the remote, Enter PIN (ask us if you have lost your PIN)

Scheduled On/Off Control (if you’ve asked us to set this up):

Let us know when your screen is installed and switched on

We’ll activate your custom schedule remotely

During off-hours, the screen will show a black screen (it won’t be fully off)

For long-term closures (e.g. off-season), feel free to power off at the wall to save energy (consumption is minimal but every bit helps)

Troubleshooting

Most issues can be resolved by turning the screen off and back on again.
