Three buttons, one press

From the train screen, each button opens its own menu. You don’t need to time a long press.

Choose Exit to leave a menu without changing anything. Highlighting an option doesn’t select it; confirm with KEY2.

Choose your view

Press KEY1 to choose from Next train, Next 3 trains, Approaching & Leaving, Station Stats or Schematic Map.

Next train focuses on one approaching service. Next 3 trains gives you a wider glance; Approaching & Leaving shows what’s coming and what just passed. Station Stats looks at recent activity, while Schematic Map places trains on a diagram of the local railway.

While a profile is playing, choosing a view with KEY1 replaces that station’s selected views with the single view you chose. You can change them again in Profiles.

The product page shows examples of the screen layouts.

Change settings from your phone

Press KEY2, keep the Settings screen open and connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi. Scan the screen’s QR code and unlock editing with its code. Save each page you change, then select Exit settings.

Automatic display updates pause during Settings. In Battery saving and Fast updates modes, Wi-Fi switches off between updates, so open Settings before trying to reach the device again.

Switch between favourites and profiles

The Stations page controls the quick-access list opened by KEY0. Picking a station there pauses profile playback and uses the device defaults, without the profile’s schedule. This choice survives a restart.

To resume a routine, open KEY1’s Switch profile… option or select Use on device on the Profiles page. See Profiles & schedules.
