Part 1

Plug in

1

Step 1 of 9

Open the box.

Put the box on a table and open the lid carefully. Don't push a knife deep into the carton – the cables are right under the lid.

2

Step 2 of 9

Pick a good spot.

Place the Box near the TV and a power outlet – preferably outside the TV's metal enclosure.

  • Metal blocks the Wi-Fi signal. Inside the enclosure the Box easily loses its connection.
  • For example, place it on top of the enclosure or mount it on the wall next to it.
  • Is there a network socket or a router nearby? Then a network cable will reach – it gives the most stable connection.
Tip: the closer to the router, the more stable the connection.

Step 3 of 9

Unpack the parts.

Take out the three parts and lay them in front of you:

  • digmi Box – the little computer that runs the screen
  • HDMI cable – carries the picture to the TV
  • Power cable – the power adapter for the Box

Step 4 of 9

Connect the HDMI cable.

  • Plug one end into the HDMI 1 port on the TV.
  • Plug the other end into the Box's HDMI port.
  • If you can: connect a network cable between the Box and the router or network socket now, before the power. It is better than Wi-Fi. Otherwise you connect the Box to your Wi-Fi in step 8.
Tip: set the TV's source to HDMI 1 with the remote (the Source or Input button).

Step 5 of 9

Connect the power.

Plug the power cable into the Box and the adapter into a power outlet. The Box starts by itself – there is no power button.

The light on the Box comes on when it gets power. Starting up takes about a minute.

Step 6 of 9

Done! Time to set up.

After a moment the TV shows QR code 1. Everything is connected, and you continue with your phone.

With a network cable you don't need Wi-Fi: the TV skips QR code 1 and 2 and shows QR code 3 straight away. Go to step 9. The picture is shown in portrait – if your TV hangs in landscape, contact digmi and we will rotate it.
No picture? Check that the TV is set to HDMI 1 and that the HDMI cable is firmly plugged in at both ends.

Step 7 of 9 · QR code 1 · Wi-Fi

Scan QR code 1.

  • Open your phone's camera and point it at the QR code on the TV.
  • Tap Join when the phone asks about the network Digmi-XXXXXX – it is the screen's own Wi-Fi.
  • Wait a moment. The TV switches to QR code 2 by itself.
No page opens? Join the Digmi network in your phone's Wi-Fi settings and type 10.42.0.1 in the browser.

Step 8 of 9 · QR code 2 · Wi-Fi

Rotation and your Wi-Fi.

  • Scan QR code 2. The setup page opens on your phone.
  • Under How is the screen mounted? choose Portrait or Landscape. The picture on the TV turns within a few seconds. If it is upside down, tap Flip the picture.
  • Choose your Wi-Fi, enter the password and tap Connect the screen.
The phone drops the screen's Wi-Fi after a while – that is expected. Watch the TV, it shows how it is going.

Step 9 of 9 · QR code 3

Activate the screen.

  • Scan QR code 3 and sign in to your digmi account (Sign in).
  • Name the screen under Name, for example “Entrance screen”.
  • Choose your company under Company and the place under Location.
  • Tap Create. The screen starts by itself.
  • Done! When the TV shows your content, the installation is finished.
No account? Tap sign up for an account, create one and then do the same steps again.

Done – your screen is live.

When the TV shows your content, the installation is done. You then manage the content from the digmi portal or the digmi Marketing app.
