Many of the applications on this smart display require network connectivity. With the access to the Internet you can browse the web pages and use network services. Make sure that the device connectivity is configured properly before activating these applications.

Your smart display supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections to Internet. Wi-Fi connection is recommended for all the services that require network connection. If both Wi-Fi and Ethernet are available to the smart display, Wi-Fi connection will be used by default.

• You are charged for the amount of information you view, download, or send when you are connected to the

Internet if you don’t have an unlimited data plan. Check with your Internet service provider (ISP) for details.

• Available connection methods may vary depending on your Internet service provider (ISP) or the product supplied for your country/region.

Connecting with other media devices

Playing multimedia files between different media devices

(through DLNA)

Your smart display allows interoperability with other media devices that support Digital Living

Network Alliance (DLNA) within the same home network (wired or wireless). With the

DLNA compatibility standards, your smart display is able to receive and play video/audio/image files from other media devices, or vice versa, without any cable connection.

This feature is particularly helpful when

• your media source and the media player (i.e. your smart display) are not on the same device, or

• the media files are stored on a device with smaller screen and the playback on a larger screen is desired.

• If Wi-Fi (instead of Ethernet) network is used to connect your DLNA products, make sure the Wi-Fi connection is stable enough to ensure smooth data transmission and playback.

• While the playback control is performed remotely from a different device, pay attention to the control range.

Wi-Fi connectivity has limited range, depending upon the equipment being used, the chosen frequently band, radiowave interference, and the physical landscape (including building structure). Circumstances will vary depending upon your particular situation.

Transferring media files to smart display for playback

Your smart display is a DLNA-compatible player for playback of media files from other

DLNA-compatible media devices within the same home network. You can control the playback from one of the media devices while all applications on the smart display are still available to you.

Connecting with other media devices 39

1. Make sure the smart display and your media device for file sharing are powered on.

2. Make sure the smart display and your media device are within the same home network and the network connection is enabled.

3. Tap from the smart display’s Home to enable DLNA service. If the green line under the icon is displayed, the service is enabled.

4. Make sure an appropriate DLNA application has been installed on the media device to transfer files. You can download one of the DLNA applications from the application store that can be accessed from your media device. Different applications may be available depending on the operating system of your media device.

5. Launch the DLNA application on your media device. The on-screen display and the interface may vary by application.

6. Choose a media source (i.e. where the media files are stored).

7. Choose your smart display as the player.

8. Select one of the media files (with supported file format) stored on your media device to be played on the smart display.

Your media device is now a media source as well as a remote control for the playback on the smart display. You can now control the playback from either your media device or smart display.

To adjust volume from your media device, follow the original volume adjustment procedure on the media device.

Transferring media files from smart display for playback

Your smart display allows you to transfer the media files stored on any memory that can be accessed from the smart display (e.g. the internal memory, the connected microSD card, or the connected mass storage devices) to other DLNA-compatible devices for playback. The operation is possible through the built-in applications:

Music Share

Working as a storage device

You can connect your smart display to your computer using a USB to micro-USB cable. Your smart display is then treated as storage device and displayed as smart display in the

Windows

Explorer

or file manager. While the smart display is connected to the computer, you can:

• operate from your computer to copy and paste files from your smart display to the computer, or vice versa;

• operate from your smart display to access the functions that are available in the Android system.

If there are other storage devices (e.g., a microSD card, USB flash drives, or external hard drives, etc.) connected to your smart display at the same time, your smart display works as a

USB hub.

1. Locate and double-click your smart display (displayed as smart display) from your computer.

2. All the storage devices connected to your smart display are listed under smart display in the

Windows Explorer

or file manager on your computer.
