You will need

Additional Configuration

• To make sure TrilbyTV is the default startup app after a power down, go to Android settings and access ‘Signage Display’ to make sure source settings are set to Custom App and TrilbyTV
• To save energy, we suggest setting sleep and wake times on your screen. In Settings, go to Advanced Options, where you can Set an Off Timer and also Set Full Scheduling for Off and On - make sure the time and date on the screen is correct for this to work.
• You can also use the Phillips screens in Portrait format. To do this, use the remote to go to Home, Settings, Rotation, Auto-Rotate
