3. OPERATION
3.1. Powering ON and OFF
In general, to activate the Muse, push and quickly release the Power Button to the left of the front bezel. The
display will come on in a few seconds. To turn the Muse off, press and hold the Power Button for 5+ seconds.
NOTE: Depending on how you received your Muse, the battery packs shipped with your device may be low in
power – please use the AC-DC adapter with the Muse in setting up the device for the first time and to fully
charge the internal battery pack. You may charge the external battery pack with it attached to the Muse or
with the optional external battery charger kit.
NOTE: When the battery pack(s) is(are) charging, the blue colored Battery LED should blink slowly. If plugging in
the AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking activity and the LED stays dark, the battery pack(s) may
have been drained substantially. Then try unplugging/replugging the AC-DC adapter at the Muse a few
times to activate the charging process.
NOTE: Avoid using the Power Button (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to turn off the device – this form of hardware
shutdown is intended to be the means of recovery from device lockups.
3.2. Start Up
If the power up (from Standby or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate interface will be displayed after a launch
sequence of several seconds. The wireless LAN adapter may take 10-15 seconds to be established.
3.3. Configuring the Muse
Please see the Quick Start Guide, The Documentation CD or Systems Documentation at
http://www.convergentliving.com for further information on configuring Companion Devices.
3.3.1. Calibration
The touch display for the Muse is calibrated before shipping. In the event that the calibration has been modified or
is unsatisfactory, the respective Calibration routines to calibrate the touch interface may be used. The Calibration
routine can be invoked at the Tools Screen.
3.3.2. Wireless Network Card and Antenna System
! Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the Muse should be able to detect all 802.11 access
points in the vicinity for you to select the access point of your choice for connection.
! The SSID and WEP (if enabled) parameters on the Muse and the access points have to match. The
SSID is case-sensitive and it is recommended that you enable WEP encryption (or advanced
alternatives) for secure access.
! When WEP is enabled, you may need to consult your network administrator or your networking
equipment literature to properly configure associated settings in Installer Configuration>Wireless
Network Settings.
! Refer to the access point operating manuals for setting up the 802.11 access points.
3.3.3. Button Management
The Muse buttons are programmable to perform a function of the user’s choice. The exception is the Power
Button. Buttons may be programmed for a variety of functions through Installer Configuration>Button Settings.
3.3.4. Brightness Control
Screen Brightness can be controlled manually on the Tools Screen and via the Screen Saver Configuration.
