Please observe the following when installing this device.
• This product is not designed to be
resistant to moisture or excessive
dirt/dust. When deciding on a suitable
installation point ensure there is
reasonable protection from environmental
damage.
• If there is damage to the power supply
in any way, arrange for a replacement unit
by contacting blackbox-av. They may
require you to send the defective power
unit back so in this case do not dispose of
the power supply unless prompted to do
so. If you wish to source your own power
supply a CE or FC certified double
insulated and regulated supply is
required. The Power supply has an output
rating of 12vDC at 2A, 24W. Using a
power supply with a higher voltage will
irreparably damage the display unit.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight
for prolonged periods as this may cause
the product to overheat.
• For disposal of old electrical equipment
please follow the guidelines associated
with your country/territory or ship the unit
back to blackbox-av and we will
dispose/recycle the unit. The symbol on
the left indicates that this product shall
not be treated as household waste.
Instead it shall be handed to applicable
collection points for the recycling of
electronic equipment. If you dispose of
this unit correctly you will be helping
prevent future harm to the environment
which is caused by poor waste
management of this type of equipment. If
the screen has been damaged take extra
care to prevent the LCD liquid from
leaking out of the unit and wrap in a
strong plastic bag with no holes.
• Whilst the unit is connected to a mains
outlet and the power is switched on it is
providing energy for operating the device.
If the unit is not being used for long
periods of time it is recommended to turn
off the power as it will prolong the life of
its electronic circuitry.

Once you have edited and converted
your content into the correct format you
will need to put these on USB or SD Card.
The file names of your content will
determine how it is activated.
The USB or SD Card will be pre-
programmed with a template, when
loading your content make sure to delete
these files. It’s recommended that you
store the template files on your computer
for future reference.
Should you need to use a different USB /
SD Card we suggest you format it to
‘FAT32’.
To program your content you will need;
1. A PC or laptop with Windows OS
2. Correctly formatted content
3. USB Stick or SD Card (Supplied)
Windows OS is required to program your
AV Point using a PC or laptop (xp –10).
MacOS is not supported due to hidden
files generated by the OS.
Place all your formatted files into the root
of the USB or SD Card whilst renaming
them like so. Each file is associated with a
button. The ‘F’ at the beginning needs to
be a capital as the player is case
sensitive.

F1000 –Button 10
Within the above configuration the player
will play: video F0000 as the loop. If
button 1 is pressed it will play F0100.
Once F0100 is complete, F0000 will
resume unless a button is pressed.
Note: The loop is designed to be used for
creating the button selection screen. This
can be an image or video but must be
named F0000.
