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.
Read the screen header
The header shows your station, an approximate battery icon, Wi-Fi signal bars and the time of the displayed refresh. Times use UK local time, including the summer clock change.
These are readings from the last displayed update. They stay visible while the device sleeps, and a failed download may leave the previous image and timestamp on screen.
Battery bars estimate voltage, not an exact charge percentage. A ? means the reading is unavailable; ! means a very low battery reading. Empty Wi-Fi bars indicate a disconnected radio at the time of the reading. A missing timestamp means the clock was not set.
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.
