Introduction
1
The Simpo is simple. The podium is minimalistic in both design and operation, yet
powerful enough to support any kind of presentation you’d like to make. The Simpo’s hardware is
incorporated into its structure, providing functionality without the added bulk of regular podiums.
Designed to be as efficient as possible, the Simpo was designed to be operated with either a mini-pc,
laptop, or other external device. Mini-pcs are light enough and compact enough to fit into the Simpo’s
front PC Storage case, and capable of powering your presentation requirements. The Simpo also comes
with an easy-to-use laptop connection via a pull out USB and RGB cables. Multiple users can use a variety
of devices to easily connect with the Simpo. Presentations have never been so Simpo.
About connecting your external devices
We realize that devices come equipped with a variety of video output ports (VGA, HDMI,
DVI, Display, Mini Display). It’s hard to know which video output format will be used in each specific
situation, and it would be expensive and unnecessary for us to supply you with every type of connector
possible. All new video port styles have cable adapters that can be used to connect them to a VGA cable.
Your local electronics store should have these cable adaptors in stock if you find that you can’t connect
directly using a VGA port. Also remember that VGA is a video only format. Although some new ports are
able to provide audio and video signals, since the connection terminates in VGA format, this is not
possible. You must connect the audio cable to the laptop or device’s audio out put in order to have an
audio signal.
If you’d like to use the Simpo’s tablet to interact with your device through touch, it is
necessary to connect the USB cable. This cable is the means of touch communication between your device
and the tablet monitor. If you are using a dated operating system, it may also be necessary to upload a
touch driver.

Don’t use the Simpo with a damaged power cord, plug or loose socket.
It may cause fire or electric shock.
Don’t touch with a moist hand when taking out or inserting the power plug.
It may cause fire or electric shock.
Use power plugs, and sockets with grounded connections.
If using ungrounded connections, it may result in fire or electric shock.
Fully insert into plug and ensure that the connection is solid.
In the case that the contact is unstable, it may cause fire.
Don’t bend or pull the power cord by force and do not place it under by heavy objects.
It may cause fire or electric shock by damaging the cord.
Don’t unplug the power cord while in use.
It will cause breakdown of the product.
Don’t drop when moving.
It may be hurt or cause breakdown of the product.
Don’t put flammable objects such as candles, insecticides, cigarettes near the product.
It may cause fire.
Don’t place heaters beside the power cord.
It may cause fire or electrical shock and cord damage.
Don’t place near water.
The system may short or become severely damaged.
Install the product in a well ventilated location.

sensing) / RGB(VGA) for video (gently pull the cables out,
after usage push them back into the Simpo)
2) AC OUTLET(power for outer apparatus, same voltage as
main input voltage)
3) Main power switch (when power is ON, switch will light)
4) Input video signal (input for composite audio and video)
5) USB (when connecting to outer apparatus’ sensor, for
example connecting to an IWB)

Attention! When adjusting body height, ensure that you
do not lean or place extra weight onto the Simpo. This
will cause strain on the electric motor and cause it to
wear out prematurely.

The Simpo was designed for use with mainly a LAPTOP PC. It was also designed to look minimalistic
and operate in the same manner. Instead of using a desktop computer to operate the Simpo, we
suggest using a mini pc. These computers are small and lack a disk drive, but they have all the
necessary capabilities for powering a presentation and connecting to networks or the internet.
Recommended mini PC size is 235(W) X 69(H) X 215(D)mm.
PC connection
If user want to use PC and LAPTOP at the same time, use Hub additionally.
