support Audio or Audio/Video Intercom).
• Monitor and automate your home remotely. Use
this guide along with the Control4 System User
Guide to learn about managing your Control4
system when you're away.
• Control equipment and devices in specific
rooms. The Navigators (Touch Screens, On-
Screen Navigator, or MyHome) let you control
devices in one room or the whole house. If your
Navigator isn’t controlling the room you want,
just change rooms (see “Change Rooms”)!
• Manage up to eight (8) devices per room. For
example, you can manage your TV, Receiver,
Tuner, DVD player, movie projector and screen,
and more within the same room.
Check out the Control4 System User Guide on the
Control4 website Products page (see “Resources”
later in this document) to learn about what you can
do with your system.
Account Setup
Your Control4 Dealer may have already set up
your personal account on my.control4.com and set
up access to 4Store. If so, you can skip the next
section. If not, you’ll need to do the following things
right away; otherwise, your system will not be fully
functional.
NOTE: Control4 requires that you create a
my.control4.com account and register your
Controller before using your new system.
Register Your System
Go to my.control4.com to register your Controller
and set up your Control4 account. An account is
required so your system software can access and
download information about movies, music, TV
channels, software updates, 4Store, etc., and it
also gives your Dealer access to that account for
maintenance and updates on your system. You and
your Dealer may need to use this website from time
to time to update your system, assign purchased
licenses, or fix any problems that occur. You can
access your Control4 account information there too.
