Important notice

Please make absolutely sure that you go through every single point of the manual chronologically and carefully.

Introduction

Welcome!
This manual provides the basic information you need for the optimal usage of your DSBtouch with stand-alone-player. Please read and follow the subsequent points carefully, so that you can set up your DSBtouch with stand-alone-player quickly and easily. We show you the necessary settings in just a few steps.

Items delivered

The stand-alone player (MSI PC) comes with a power cable, a power supply and a VESA mount kit.

A remote control, a power cord, batteries, and 2 USB cable (type a to type b) are included in the delivery of the display.

Accepting the delivery

Attention – important note for accepting goods!
Please check directly upon receipt, whether the cardboard or packaging has been damaged (visual inspection). In this case, please refuse to accept the goods! The freight forwarder will take the delivery and initiate a new delivery. 

In addition, please check the functioning of the delivered goods immediately after receipt (function test). The device must be unpacked, connected and switched on. If a defect is detected (e.g. damage of the housing) it must be reported to heinekingmedia GmbH within 3 working days after accepting the delivery (see chapter 14 – conduct in the event of damage). Please note that some possible defects of the display can only be detected when the display is switched on (e.g. devices does not start, pixel error, glass breakage)! 

If the damage is reported later or if goods with visual transport damage have been accepted, heinekingmedia GmbH cannot initiate a free claims settlement and the customer has to bear all potential costs related to a repair and shipping!

Mounting and wiring

Important mounting instructions for attaching wall mounts to a display.

Information about the wall mount 

The displays supplied by heinekingmedia GmbH have mounting devices on the back for mounting wall brackets. These comply with the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard and consist of four threaded sleeves arranged in a rectangle. The distances and thread dimensions differ depending on the display model. Please make sure to only install the supplied or a specified wall mount.

To prevent display damage, it is important that you have the correct screws ready and test them before mounting the wall adapter to the display. The depth of the threaded holes differs among the different display models. If, by mistake, screws are used that are too long, irreversible damage to the display can occur, which is not covered by guarantees of the manufacturer or heinekingmedia GmbH!

heinekingmedia GmbH recommends that the assembly and/or installation of this product is to be carried out by a competent person. Please refer to your display manual and ensure that the weight and size of the screen do not exceed the maximum weight and size of the wall mount to be used. Please also carefully check, whether the screws used for mounting the screen have a suitable length and diameter.

heinekingmedia GmbH is not liable for damages caused by improper assembly, use of unsuitable assembly material or use of unsuitable tools!

Please note the following:

  • Only use screws, which threads are no longer than the depth of the threaded sleeve plus the thickness of the mounting adapter.
  • Check the screw depth of the screws by loosely tightening the screws into the threaded sleeve without mounting the holder on the display. You should be able to screw in the screw without any effort.
  • If the available screws are too long, you can reduce the screw-in depth by using appropriate flat washers. If possible, do not use more than one flat washer per screw.
  • Always tighten the screws carefully by hand until the screw stops.
  • Under no circumstances use electrically operated mounting tools such as cordless screwdrivers or drills.
  • To tighten the screws, please use a suitable screwdriver and tighten only carefully by hand until finger-tight.

If you follow these instructions carefully, you will be able to mount the bracket correctly onto the display.

Ventilation

When mounting the device on a vertical wall, leave a distance of at least 40 mm (approx. 1.6”) between the rear of the unit and the wall surface. Please observe the installation dimensions listed below to ensure sufficient ventilation. In addition, please ensure that the temperature where the device is deployed always remains below 35 °C (95 degrees Fahrenheit).

Attaching the wall mount - Stand-Alone-Player

Fasten the rear panel of the VESA mount kit to a vertical surface with at least 4 screws (maximum 8 screws possible). Note that the embossed arrow points upwards. Now hang the Stand-Alone-Player with the keyhole-shaped recesses in the housing (narrow side of the recesses facing upwards) on the corresponding hooks.

Wire connections

  • Connect the supplied power cord to the connector on the back of the display and connect the other end of the cord to an easily accessible outlet (230V). Switch the main switch (rocker switch) on the rear of the display to "ON".
  • Connect the supplied power cable to the stand-alone-player (mini PC) and connect the other end of the cable to an easily accessible power outlet (230V).
  • Connect the touch overlay to the stand-alone-palyer and the screen using the two USB cables (type a to type b). Connect the display to Touch Out Screen and the computer unit to Touch Out PC.

Internet connection

Connect a LAN cable (not supplied) to the RJ45 network connector of the stand-alone-player and connect the other end of the LAN cable to a dedicated network outlet, switch or router. 

If you want to connect the device wirelessly to a Wi-Fi network, please refer to chapter 6 (Network settings) of this manual.

If the Internet connection is successful, please continue with step 5.
