12 Configuration and User Manual
Setup and Connect
Step 1: Fully charge the Handheld Touchscreen before using with a MeshConnect
control system. Reference Charging the Handheld Touchscreen, page 37 for
instructions.
Step 2: Press the “Power” button once on the front of the Handheld. Application startup
takes a minimum of 20 seconds.
Step 3: Which configuration is loaded to the Handheld depends on the Wireless Config
Selection (see page 25) setting, either Automatic Wireless Config Selection or
Manual Wireless Config Selection. This setting is “Automatic” by default.
Automatic Wireless Config Selection
When the Handheld is setup for Automatic Wireless Config Selection, the Handheld will
search and connect to the strongest wireless signal available and load that associated
configuration.
• During normal use, when another configuration within range of the Handheld is
stronger the Wireless Status icon displays. This icon means a configuration
change is about to occur.
• The configuration will change automatically within several seconds of the configuration
change notification. You can postpone the configuration change for 2 minutes by
touching the Wireless Status soft button, then choosing cancel from the Automatic
Selection screen.
Manual Wireless Config Selection
When the Handheld is setup for Manual Wireless Config Selection, select the configuration
you wish to connect to from the available configurations in the Select Configuration list.
• During normal use, when another configuration becomes available to the Handheld, a
Wireless Status icon displays. This icon means that additional wireless
configurations are available for selection to the Handheld. Touch the Wireless Status
soft button to display the Select Configuration screen.
Note:
If the Handheld does not have the configuration and theme file, you will be
provided the option to download the files from the connected processor. The most
efficient method to load configuration and theme files is to use removable media.
See “Configuration and Theme Files” on page 14.
