System requirements

• Broadband Internet connection (such as cable or
DSL). The Infocast™ Internet Media Display won’t
work with a dialup connection.

• Wireless router (802.11b/802.11g compatible). Most
routers currently sold support these requirements.
Routers supporting 802.11n may work with the
Infocast™ Internet Media Display as long as they
properly support 802.11b or 802.11g.

• Computer with Internet access. This is required to
activate your Infocast™ Internet Media Display and
to configure the apps you want to show on it. After
your device is set up, you’ll only need a computer to
configure certain apps.

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 Viewing the guided tour.
3 Calibrating the touchscreen so your Infocast™ Internet

Media Display recognizes your taps.

4 Configuring the network connection.
5 Setting the timezone.
6 Setting the time and date (if they can’t be set

automatically from the Internet).

7 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 an icon, 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 or an icon, then
sliding your fingernail across the screen to the location you
want to move the item to.

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.
