Install guide

Setting up a table player.

Table players sit on a table, counter or reception desk. There is nothing to mount: charge it or plug it in, load your content and place it.

What you need

  • The player and its power supply
  • A USB stick or microSD card, whichever your model takes, with your content, made in portrait at the screen resolution on its spec sheet
  • For many tables: a charging plan, so each player is back on charge when the room closes

Before you start

  1. Charge battery models fully before the first day. The run time depends on brightness and content; check it on the spec sheet and on your own content.
  2. Keep it clear of spills and hot plates, and away from the table edge.
  3. On the double-sided model each side can show its own content; plan both.

Install film

Watch it once, then follow the steps.

  1. 01

    Set it by an outlet

    Set the player on a flat surface near a power outlet to charge it.

  2. 02

    Charge the battery

    Connect the power cable and charge the battery before first use.

    Plug a USB stick with your pictures and videos into the micro USB (OTG) port.

  4. 04

    Place it on the table

    Unplug the cable and set the player where people will see it; it runs on its battery.

    Power on

    Switch it on and the screen lights up.

  6. 06

    Charge a phone

    Stand a phone that supports wireless charging against a charging pad.

Step 1 of 4

8 in dual-screen table player, from its CAD. Other models in this guide follow the same steps.

  1. 01

    Charge or plug in

    Connect the power supply. On the battery model, let the first charge finish.

  2. 02

    Load content

    Insert the USB stick or microSD card, whichever your model takes (its page lists the slots), with your pictures and videos and follow the screen to start the show.

  3. 03

    Place it

    Stand it on a flat, dry surface where guests read it without moving it.

  4. 04

    Use the charging pad

    On the model with wireless charging, a phone placed on the pad charges while the player keeps playing.

First power-on

Check five things before you leave it.

  1. It shows a pictureThe screen lights and starts within a minute or two of power-on.
  2. The content playsEvery picture and video on the card or stick shows, in the order you set.
  3. It restarts by itselfSwitch it off at the wall and back on. It should come back to the content on its own.
  4. Nothing is loosePull gently on the screen: it does not move on its bracket, clamp or stand.
  5. Cables are safeNo cable is pinched, pulled tight or across a walkway.

If something is wrong

Quick fixes.

No picture

Check the power at the outlet, the connector at the unit and any power switch. Try a known working outlet.

The content does not start

Check the card or stick is fully inserted and the files are pictures (JPG, PNG) or MP4 video. Try a smaller test file.

The picture is the wrong way round

Rotation is a setting in the display. Set it once and the screen keeps it.

It does not sit level

Re-check the bracket with a level. On a stand, check the surface. Do not pack under a bracket; refit it.
