Setting up your Infocast™ Internet Media Display
See the Quick Setup Guide for detailed setup instructions.
The basic steps for setting up your Infocast™
Internet Media Display are:
Connecting the power cord and turning on your
1
Infocast™ Internet Media Display.
2 Calibrating the touchscreen so your Infocast™ Internet
Media Display recognizes your taps.
3 Configuring the network connection.
4 Setting the timezone.
5 Setting the time and date (if they can’t be set
automatically from the Internet).
6 Activating your Infocast™ Internet Media Display.
Learning to tap
On your Infocast™ Internet Media Display, you select menu
items using your fingernail. Your fingernail can tap a button
or app on the screen, tap and drag a slider bar, or control a
game. You should tap only one fingernail on the screen at a
time.
Ta p pi n g means quickly touching and releasing a button or
app. Dragging means touching a slider bar , then sliding your
fingernail across the screen to the setting you want.
Use your fingernail (not the full pad of your fingertip) to tap.
Tapping the screen—as opposed to pressing hard on the
screen—works the best. You can also use a stylus.
