Account Setup
Your dealer may have already set up your personal
MyControl4 account at customer.control4.com,
registered your controller, and set up 4Store access
to purchase apps for your touch screens. If so, you
can skip this section. If not, you’ll need to do the
following things right away; otherwise, your system
will not be fully functional.
NOTE: (1) Control4 requires that you or
your dealer create a MyControl4 account
and register your controller before you can
use your new system. (2) If your dealer has
already set up a MyControl4 account for you,
make sure you get your login (your email
address) and password from your dealer for
your new account. The first time you access
your account at customer.control4.com, you'll
need to accept the 'Terms of Use' agreement.
To get the latest information, Control4
recommends that you also accept email and
other oerings from Control4.
