Enabling and Disabling Optional Lighting
SmartCube has an interior lighting feature for all models. The intensity of the lighting is
controlled via the S4 software and can be adjusted from an off position to level 10 as desired. This
is a programmable feature set up during the installation of the SmartCubes at the hotel.
Communications
• Some SmartCube models have the ability to communicate to the Minibar Systems computer
server via an integral modem device.
• Internal data is gathered and then automatically communicated to the server.
• In addition, data can be transmitted to the SmartCube using a wireless hand held unit by the
hotel. This will also be automatically communicated to the server.
• The communications within the hotel will be set up by the Minibar Systems installation team
in coordination with the hotel and their network management team. The appropriate
training will be provided to the hotel personnel.
• For specific details on communication types, refer to the SmartCube Technical Specifications
manual. It is available from your Minibar representative or from the Minibar Systems website.
Note: See the Certification section regarding the FCC Statement for communications.
Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
• It is advisable to clean away any dust from the cooling unit and debris from the ventilation
inlet and exhaust vents, and shelf cutouts.
• For any other malfunction with the SmartCube, contact your Minibar Systems representative
for advice.
• Occasionally, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the SmartCube. It would be best to
do this during a refill operation while the SmartCube is offline for the refill. Alternatively, it
will be necessary to suspend the communications to the bar at the base station server prior
to cleaning.
• It is important NOT to use too much water, strong chemicals, cleaning agents, soap or
abrasive cleaning materials.
• If appropriate, the outside of the SmartCube can also be wiped down using a soft damp clean
cloth.
