Quick Start User Guide This section describes how to set up and use the iDISPLAY 4K Media Player for the first time. The media player runs OUTFORM’s Pulse Player software by default, which runs on an Android operating system installed in the player to play the desired content. Installing the Wi-Fi Antenna Screw the base of the antenna into the rear of the media player. Unfold the top part of the antenna so it is at a 450 and pointing upwards.
After a message displays indicating that the content has been copied, the USB drive can be removed. The new content plays automatically. NOTE: When auto-copying files from a Linux or MAC OS-based computer, hidden metadata files, preceded by a period “.”, may also get copied into the “0” folder on the USB drive. When Pulse Player attempts to play or display these files, a black screen is shown momentarily.
Pulse Player Settings The following table describes the Pulse Player settings. For more information on how to use the underlying Android operating system, refer to the following section. Setting Description Software Update Check for available Pulse Player software updates. This requires an Internet connection. Back Return to playing the configured content. Exit Exit Pulse Player and open the home screen of the base Android operating system.
Setting Description Status Bar Options Show and hide the Android operating system quick launch status and tool bar that appears at the bottom of the screen after exiting Pulse Player. “ON” shows the status bar, while “OFF” hides it. Volume Adjustment Options Enable and disable volume adjustment buttons on the exterior of the Pulse Player device. “ON” means the buttons are enabled, while “OFF” indicates that the buttons are disabled.
Setting Description Log Options “ON” enables recording Pulse Player log messages to a log file stored in the internal device memory. If this setting is enabled, the log file “PulsePlayer_Log.txt” is created and stored in the top-most directory of the device’s internal memory, which can be accessed through the “Explorer” Android operating system app.
Setting Description Warning Dialog Expire Time The length of time (in seconds) from which the forward event webpage inactivity time-out warning dialog appears until Pulse Player returns to playing the initially configured video or image content. The value specified must be at least 10 seconds. Hardware Acceleration Options Enable (“ON”) or disable (“OFF”) hardware acceleration for better video playback performance, if needed.
Using the Android Operating System This section describes parts of the underlying Android operating system that are relevant to using Pulse Player on OUTFORM devices. More important interface elements are described below: Applications Menu On the bottom or side of the Android home screen, which by default has a light blue background with scattered lighter colored squares, the applications menu can be accessed by tapping on the white circular icon with six white smaller squares.
Configuring the Android Operating System Settings Click on the “Settings” icon to configure the following three relevant Android system settings: Connecting to a Wireless Network Select “Wi-Fi” on the top of the left side of the menu.

If connecting to the Internet for the first time, a prompt appears requesting device administrator activation.

When the Pulse Player forward to URL option is enabled, why does the configured website not appear when I click the mouse?
