1. First time use

This document is related to the WebOS4.1

When you turn the device on for the first time, it will open a configuration wizard. Follow the steps and specify the settings, as mentioned below. (If the configuration wizard does not start, then please first factory reset your device, as described in ‘1.2 resetting the device’.)

1.1. Configuring the device

Please read the installing section to setup the Viewer. There are no changes that need to be performed before installing the Viewer.

1.2. Resetting the device

If your device was used before, we recommend that you factory reset your device, so that all storage is freed and no other software interferes with the PADS4 Viewer software.

The device will factory reset and afterwards you will see the welcome screen, please follow the steps as described in ‘1.1 configuring the device’.

2. Installing PADS4 Viewer

When finished the device will download the PADS4 HTML5 Viewer software and start. At the left bottom location a connection indicator icon will appear. It will turn green if a valid connection is made to the Server.
If a problem occurs open the viewer settings and have a look at the log which may contain important (error) information.

The first time the device is configured, a valid server connection is required to download the PADS4 HTML5 Viewer software.

2.1. Checking device firmware

To run the PADS4 viewer properly on the WebOS4 and make sure that all functionality works, you need to have firmware as mentioned in step 4 installed on the device. Please check using the following steps.

2.2 Updating firmware
