COPY APPS & DATA
The setup process will ask if you want to copy apps and data from an existing
account. We recommend using the option “Don’t copy”. This is for several
reasons. First, phones or tablets typically have much more storage space
than a wall-mounted touchscreen requires and you can exceed the amount
of storage when attempting to copy all existing apps and data. Second, and
most importantly, the key advantage of the XTS7 is having a simplified control
interface with only a small number of apps that are used to control your smart
home. Keeping the number of apps installed to a minimum means that the
apps that you want to use are always easily accessible from the home screen.
For these reasons, we recommend selecting “Don’t Copy”.
SIGN IN
The setup process will now show a sign-in screen to sign into your Google
account. If you are the homeowner, feel free to sign in with your Google
account credentials or to create a new Google account. If you are NOT
the homeowner, select “Skip” so that the homeowner can complete this
step later. For smarthome control, especially if using Google Assistant, it is
important that the account logged into Google be the same account that is
associated with all of the smarthome devices.
RESTORE DATA FROM AN OLD DEVICE
As mentioned previously, the functions of your XTS7 touchscreen are quite
different from your smartphone or tablet. We recommend selecting “Don’t
restore” so that unneeded data is not transferred to your XTS7 wall-mounted
touchscreen.
GOOGLE SERVICES
You may be asked if you would like to back up your XTS7 to your Google
Drive account. This can simplify recovery or setting up additional XTS7
touchscreens in your home. We recommend backing up your XTS7 to your
Google Drive account.
SET SCREEN LOCK
On this screen, you can select a PIN code (minimum of 4 digits) to use to
control access to your XTS7. If you do not wish to use a PIN code, simply
select “Skip”. Keep in mind that anyone who has access to the XTS7 can
enter the settings menu and create a PIN in the future. If you would like to
prevent this from happening, set a secure PIN.
ANYTHING ELSE?
On this screen, you can choose to change the default font size as well as
select a different wallpaper for your new XTS7. These can also be changed at
any time in the future through the Android settings menu. Feel free to change
them now, or select “No thanks” to continue.
Setup of your XTS7 is now complete.
The XTS7 has the Russound app pre-installed. You can navigate to the
Google Play Store to download and install your favorite* apps to your XTS7
now.
