- Press MENU on the remote
- Navigate to Power On/Off Settings and press OK
Step 2: Set the Date and Time
- Go to Time Settings
- Enter the current date and time
- Enable automatic time synchronisation if your network supports it
Step 3: Schedule Power On
- Select Timed Power On
- Press + to add a new schedule
- Set the time (AM/PM, hour, and minutes)
- Choose which days of the week to apply the schedule
- Press Confirm to save
Step 4: Schedule Power Off
- Select Timed Power Off
- Repeat the same process — set the time, choose the days, press Confirm
Step 5: Confirm Your Schedule
- Your schedule is saved and active
- The screen will automatically turn on and off at the times you have set
💡 Tip: A common setup for schools is to schedule the screen to power on 10 minutes before classes start and off 30 minutes after the last session. This keeps it ready when needed and saves power overnight and on weekends.
Troubleshooting / What to Do If It Doesn't Work
- Screen not turning on at the scheduled time — check the correct time and days were selected, and confirm the screen's clock is accurate under Time Settings
- Schedule disappears after a power cut — if the rear switch is turned off completely, saved schedules may need to be re-entered
