STEP-1: Configuring Password & Pin
STEP-2: Configuring Windows Hello
Click Start , then select Settings > Accounts > Sign-
in options to set up Windows Hello.
After configuring the account password and PIN, click
Setup under the Windows Hello dialog:
Note: If you don't already have an account password or PIN, click Add under the
respective dialog and follow the onscreen instructions.
Start > Settings > Sign-in Options > Windows Hello >
Setup > Get Started.
STEP-3: Fingerprint Registration
STEP-4: Register Additional Fingerprints
Next you will be prompted to begin registering your
fingerprints.
Windows Hello Setup will prompt you to register up to 7
different angles/positions of the same print.
After completing registration for your first print, Windows
Hello Setup will prompt you to register additional prints.
It’s recommended that you register multiple prints from a
variety of angles to ensure a more natural experience .
The Kangaroo Mobile Desktop uses an area-based sensor to read the impressions on
your fingertips. To scan your fingerprint, place your finger (do not swipe) firmly onto
the surface of the sensor, and the sensor will do the rest.
Registering multiple angles for each print provides you with a better overall usability
experience, as increasing the coverage provides a higher probability of successful
recognition during normal daily use.
Registering multiple fingerprints makes using Windows Hello much easier.
We recommended registering multiple prints on both hands (e.g., the thumb and ring
fingers) so that regardless of the PC’s orientation you’re able to comfortably grasp
and scan a print using more natural/ergonomic movements (i.e., without having to
re-position your body or the PC to align your print in its originally registered angle).

Introduction
The Action Switch is a simple [switch activated] hardware feature that allows you to connect, view and control your Kangaroo
Mobile computer in a secure (disconnected) environment.
All Remote Desktop services available on the market today have one thing in common -- they require both the Host and
Remote computers to be connected to internet, or operating on the same network. The Action Switch requires neither.
Sliding the Action Switch on your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop (item 4 in the above Component & Feature illustrations) enables
W-iFi Direct mode on the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop, thus making your computer available (securely) to incoming
connections.
What do we mean by disconnected? In an environment where network or internet access is not available or desirable for
security purposes, activating the Action Switch will allow you to connect to your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop and remotely view
and control your computer using a range of other devices.
How do I use it?
While Microsoft Windows 10 Professional includes all of the necessary protocols [to enable Remote Desktop services] by
default, Windows 10 Home Edition explicitly excludes such services.
Nevertheless, there are many Open Source VNC (Virtual Network computing) solutions available that will allow you to enable
Remote Desktop/Access capability on a Windows Home Edition version of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system.
Using VNC Software to securely connect your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop
What VNC software should I use?
One of the great things about VNC software is that much of it on the market today remains Open Source, and there are
many popular solutions available which enable remote connections using a variety of devices, such as Android, iOS and Linux.
And most importantly, many of them are free for non-commercial use, and can be used independent of the Action Switch
when both Host and Remote computers are either connected to the internet or operating on the same network.
Following are a few of the popular solutions that we've enjoyed:
RemoteMouse (http://remotemouse.net)
RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com)
Please Note
Although we mention only a few of the popular solutions here, there are many 3rd Party VNC services available.
For the purposes of this guide, our instructions on use of these VNC tools will remain generic while providing sufficient details to facilitate connections via
practically any of the popular VNC solutions.
Definitions
The Host or Server Computer is the target computer (the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop) to which you wish to connect
and remotely control.
The Remote or Client Computer is the remote (computer, tablet or phone) device you wish to use to remotely
control the (Kangaroo Mobile Desktop) host.
What do I need to get started?
Both devices (host and client) need to be running a compatible VNC solution. This means that you will need to locate and
download a VNC Server application to the host (i.e., your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop), and a VNC Client application (or viewer)
to your remote device (your Windows, iOS, Android or Linux device).
Getting Connected – The Basics
Verify your VNC solution provider provides a Windows solution for your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop, as well as a
compatible Client/Viewer software for your remote device.
Using the Action Switch to Enable Wi-Fi Direct

Download the VNC host/server software to your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Download the VNC client/viewer software to your remote device.
Make sure your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop computer is not connected to another Wi-Fi network.
Slide the Action Switch to activate Wi-Fi Direct (notice the blue LED next to the Action Switch is illuminated, and the
presence of the Action Switch icon in the Windows taskbar notification area).
Connect your remote device to the Wi-Fi network being broadcast from your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop computer.
Activate the Host/Server software installed on your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Activate the Client/Viewer software installed on your remote device.
Note:
Once the VNC software is activated on both Host and Client devices all you need to establish the connection is a common set of credentials (IP address,
authentication pass code, or the username and password of the Host computer). Each VNC software differs slightly in its secure authentication methods, so
this will require a basic understanding the VNC software that you've installed.
The following example assumes you have already installed the relevant VNC software on both the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop and the Remote device that you
wish to use to control your Kangaroo PC.
Preparing for a Remote Connection
Sliding the Action Switch on the side of the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop activates Wi-Fi Direct Mode, making the Kangaroo
Mobile Desktop visible (as a Wi-Fi AP) to remote computers.
Double-clicking on the Action Switch application icon (found in Windows Taskbar Notification Area of your Kangaroo
Mobile Desktop) will activate the Action Switch application.
Click the Function menu, and select Set to change the default Net name and Passcode before using (recommended).
Using a Remote Device to Connect to the Kangaroo via Wi-Fi Direct
Enable Wi-Fi on the remote device and connect to the AP signal being broadcast from your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop
computer.
Note, the default name of the AP being broadcast will be "AnywhereAP". If you changed this (as recommended) then
locate the network name and log into the AP using the password you created in the steps above.
Launch the VNC Host/Server software installed on your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Launch the VNC Client/Viewer software installed on your remote device.
Important Note
To establish the connection between the two computers you may be required to specify the IP address or computer name of the Host computer and use
the credentials (username and password) to login using the remote device.
