INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1
Install the electrical box or P-ring. The typical recommended mounting height for a wall-mounted touchscreen is for the center of the electrical box or p-ring to be at 59″ (150cm) from the finished floor height This may be adjusted for user preference, but the 59″ height is recommended to accommodate most users. Make sure that the electrical bo.x/P-ring is mounted level and is f lush to the wall surface.

Wireless Installation Note: If a Wi-Fi connection is desired, make sure to test the Wi-Fi signal strength at the proposed mounting location prior to cutting any wall openings. The Wi-Fi signal strength can be checked using any of the commonly available Wi-Fi signal strength apps. If the Wi-Fi signal is not strong enough at the proposed mounting location, consider using a wired ethernet connection or enhancing the Wi-Fi in the mounting area.

Wired Network Installation Note : If a wired network connection is being used, keep in mind that the XTS7 uses a dynamic DHCP network address supplied by your router. When a more permanent IP address is required, a DHCP- reservation may be used on a compatible router.

STEP2
Attach the included XTS7 mounting plate to the electrical box or P-ring using the supplied screws. Please note the orientation below. The XTS7 can only be installed in landscape orientation. The plate should be installed so that the two attachment prongs at either end are facing into the room, These prongs will be used for attaching the XTS7 to the mounting plate.
For a 1-gang US box or P-ring, two mounting screws will be used, one at the top and one at the bottom, centered horizontally on the mounting bracket.
For a 2-gang US box or P- ring, four mounting screws will be used, as shown below.
For a 60mm Euro box, two mounting screws will be used with the two horizontal screw holes being recommended.

STEP3
Connect the PoE Ethernet cable or the 12VDC power cable from the electrical box or P-ring to the rear of the XTS7. Before attaching the XTS7 to the wall, make sure that touchscreen powers up properly. The Russound logo will appear during bootup and if this is a new installation, the touchscreen will enter the standard Android setup process. This can be completed once the touchscreen is fully mounted.

STEP4

SYSTEM SETUP

COPY APPS & DATA
The setup process will ask pf you want to copy apps and data from an existing account. We recommend using the option 11Don1t copy”. This is tor 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 car1 complete this step later. For smart home 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 smart home devices.

RESTORE DATA FROM AN OLD DEVICE
