3. Use a mouse (not included) or keyboard (not included) connected to the external
USB port.

System Startup
Make sure that the panel is plugged into a socket that will always be powered (not
switched).
Please note: NEVER disconnect power to the panel without using the Shutdown feature first
(see below). Failure to do so may result in corruption of the data in the system.
1. Press and hold the start button for 3 to 5 seconds. After a few seconds the monitor
should turn on and you will see the device booting up. This should take 1 to 2
minutes to complete.

2. After boot up is complete, you should see the calibration screen for the touchscreen.
Follow the instructions on screen.
3. Once the calibration is complete, you will be taken to the index screen of the
applications.
4. From the index screen, touch the activity that you want to play.

Within the activity, you can choose of these options:
Administrative Actions
Go to the index screen.

Choose the gear icon in the upper right corner. This will show a drop-down menu
with the various administrative actions.
Calibrate allows you to re-calibrate the touchscreen. This may be necessary from
time to time if the Mega Pod™ has been left on for an extended period. If it
becomes too out of calibration, you may need to use the wireless trackball to access
the calibrate menu option.
Update allows you to update the software on the panel. You will need to have a USB
flash drive provided to you by ROMPA® for this. Please follow the instructions given
to you on the USB flash drive.
Shutdown allows you to turn off the panel. This must be done before disconnecting
power form the unit.

The screen cursor does not match your finger movements on screen
Make sure that only one finger is within 1¼ cm (½”) of the touchscreen.
If it is following, but not near your finger, the touchscreen may need to be re-
calibrated (see Administrative Actions above).

to the panel (see Installation above).
