•The product is not a to , it does not belong in children's hands and is not for
children suitable. Children cannot assess the dangers involved in handling electrical
equipment.

• The device is constructed in protection class I. Onl a proper mains socket (230 V/
AC, 50 Hz) of the public power suppl s stem in earthing contact design ma be
used as the voltage source.
b) Installation, place of operation
•Place the product on horizontal surfaces at a maximum distance of 3m and at a
height of about 1.20m with the compan logo facing the auditorium (participants,
students, examinees).
•The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations,
high humidit such as rain or steam or strong mechanical stress.
•Do not place an containers filled with liquids, e.g. glasses, vases, etc., on
cAPPito or in its direct vicinit and never pour liquids over the device. Liquids
could get inside the housing and impair electrical safet .
•There is also a high risk of fire or life-threatening electric shock!
Make sure that the power cord is not crushed when the product is set up
or is damaged b sharp edges.
c) Operation
•If an electrical problem occurs, immediatel turn off the product's push button or
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

a danger of life-threatening electric shock.
•Use the product onl in moderate, not tropical climates.
5. Use-Case and principle of cAPPito
a) Function
•The product sets up an encapsulated, location-independent network for the
provision of information, independent of the Internet. With this network it is possible
to upload presentations, question catalogues or file sharing on the end devices of
the participants (students) specificall and at a desired time b the tutor (teacher,
coach, seminar leader) The product was developed especiall for digital knowledge
transfer at educational institutions. (schools, universities, further education
institutions, coaching and seminars) The information to be presented is created in a
simple user interface b the tutor (teacher, coach, seminar leader) and loaded onto
the Mr.Signal cAPPito Base. This information can then be retrieved b the
participants.
•The information is transmitted via a radio interface using WiFi in the 2.4 Ghz and
5.0 Ghz frequenc range. B using the cAPPito Base, the cost-intensive acquisition
of the digital infrastructure (fast Internet connection) can be reduced considerabl .
With the BYOD approach (Bring our own device) the acquisition and maintenance
of the terminal equipment for the subscribers is usuall unnecessar .

•With Mr. Signal cAPPito, tutors can quickl and easil create automaticall
correctable exams, tests or exercises for their participants. For example, tutors can
use Mr.Signal cAPPito to carr out a short learning success check (LSC) towards
the end of their lessons to see which participants have alread understood the
topics and where there is still some catching up to do. Giving the participants
homework in more detail depending on the test result. This has significant
advantages for knowledge transfer. Tutors receive an individual, differentiated
picture of the performance level of their participants in normal lessons. It is possible
to deepen the content in a targeted manner through individual measures. The
participants work more concentrated, because the expect the LSC at the end of a
lesson. The preparation of oral performance assessments is simplified. The work
process is designed for high efficienc which results in a considerable relief for the
tutors.
b) Use case, highlights, details, Passwords
cAPPito Base can help to redicall redce the cost of setting up an digital infrastructure (fast
internet, end consumer devices, software licenses, maintenance).
The bring- our-own-device concept cuts the cost of end user device maintenance on top.
cAPPito enables ou to teach digitall aided lessons!
Presentation, sharing, polling, testing and automaticall evaluating of tests, as well as
giving homework become effortlessl eas .
cAPPito "the mobile, digital classroom“, an example
School bell rings, class begins. The teacher switches on Cappito. As soon as the Mr.Signal
Base (minicomputer) is started, students and teacher can connect their smartphones with
the now visible W-Lan (default WLAN name: "cAPPito").
The teacher logs into the cAPPito-network once with her password (default-PW:
"passwords") - the students are eagerl waiting for the digital lessons and are also
connected to the cAPPito-network (default-PW: "passwords"). The teacher, also called
tutor, has a "tutor password" (default tutor-PW: "test") which gives access to the interface
and the individual modules such as presentation, question catalogues and fileshare. Note:
The passwords can be changed at an time in the "S stem" module under W-Lan or Tutor-
Password. If ou forget our set WLAN password, ou will find our master password
here. With this master password ou can access the cAPPIto network at an time and then
set a new password of our choice.
Now the lesson begins with a prepared presentation. On the displa s of the student mobile
phones, the pictures and videos selected b the teacher now appear. Then the newl
acquired knowledge is tested in a multiple choice test. Digitall via cAPPito, of course. The
evaluated results are immediatel available and can be discussed. Finall , the digital
homework is distributed and the alread completed homework is collected. This is also
done via Cappito.
All without additional IT infrastructure. All without paper and manual evaluation. Ever thing
cAPPito!?

6. The hardware at a glance
7. Assembly of the hardware
1) Insert the enclosed WiFi dongle into the open USB 3.0 port (blue) of the cAPPito Base.
2) Insert one end of the power suppl into the Micro USBC port of the cAPPito Base.
3) Insert the other end of the power suppl into a 230 Volt, 50 Hertz power outlet.

8. Software and initial operation
To save paper all details and features of using cAPPito are shown in the integrated video
tutorials. The are also available via the products website.
After first connecting to cAPPito, find the video tutorials in the integrated fileshare.
First steps to our digital mediation lesson are described as followed:
1. After powering the device, as described in 7.3, press the power adaptors push
button.
2. After a few seconds the status LED on the WiFi dongle lights up.
3. Please wait about a minute, while the integrated mini-computer boots up
4. Now Use our own smart device (tablet, notebook, smartphone) and activce its Wifi
receiver.
5. Connect to the „cAPPito“ Wifi
6. open our browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, InternetExplorer, Firefox, Opera) and go to
www.mr-signal.com
tips: You can savel preceed with popups such as "no Internet connection, connect
an wa ?". For cAPPito his is intended behaviour and does not represent a securit risk.
Furthermore, we point out that Smart Devices of older generations ma not be used if the
do not support the required bandwidths. Smart Devices such as compan mobile phones
with special SW securit or special settings for data transfer (mobile data/WiFi
configurations) ma have to be adjusted manuall in the settings to ensure a smooth
operation of cAPPito.

9. Overview of the modules
a) Dashboard
In the dashboard ou start and end the individual modules. (questionnaire, presentations
and fileshares)
(View„Tutor“)
b) Presentation
This module can be compared to the function of a "beamer", whereb videos, images and
presentations are imported as PDFs for an audience/auditorium/student on their own
Smart Device at a desired time. The mobile use proves to be a great advantage, as a
stationar projection surface (wall) is no longer required and access to the digital
mediation is made easier.

c) Questionnaire: 'Create a multiple-choice test“
The module „Questionnaire“ for the creation and automatic evaluation of learning objective
controls was developed to be used independentl of location and decentralised. With the
possibilit of offering tests during lessons, learners can be optimall supported, e.g. in
exam preparation, with a minimum of supervision. Both picture and conventional text
questions can be created as media formats. In addition, video questions (e.g. driving
school) can be easil integrated via the "user interface" and provide a varied competence
gain.
