tab. For more information on the screen preview function, refer to

a screen preview control tab. For more information on the screen
preview function refer to the Presentation Management
section for
your respective device.
Note: This manual primarily references the Corporate Edition for instructional examples. Special
notes will accompany instructions that are specific to the Education Edition.

2. Wi-Fi Setup
Depending on where your presentation content is located and the number of participants in the
presentation, you may select one of the following Wi-Fi modes from the NovoConnect home
screen.

and the number of participants is more than eight
B) Hotspot Mode – for when your content is residing on your PC or tablet, and the number
of participants is eight or fewer
C) Neither – for when your content is residing on your microSD card
The NovoConnect B360 defaults to start up in Wi-Fi Hotspot mode, which is the most direct way

preferred mode, go to section 2.1 “Hotspot Mode” for steps on making a presentation.

where “XXXXX” is a device-generated string of characters and numbers. A USB mouse is
required for the following steps.

home screen, select WiFi-> Hotspot Mode->Apply.
