Become Familiar with the Device
1. Microphone: This microphone is in place in
anticipation of potential future features.
2. Speaker: The speaker is used for:
MP3 file playback (the music format to
which stored CDs are converted)
Intercom (a potential future feature)
3. Select Dial: This dial is used during and after
setup:
During setup: Press the select dial to have
Mini Touch Screen identify itself to the
system.
After setup: Rotate select dial to scroll
through displays. Press select dial to
choose currently highlighted item on the

Start Mini Touch Screen
1. Power up the Mini Touch Screen (according to its
installation guide).
When you first power up the Mini Touch Screen and
the system is initializing, the Mini Touch Screen
displays “please wait” messages. Then you are
instructed to calibrate the Mini Touch Screen.
2. Calibrate the Mini Touch Screen when prompted by
the screen:
2a. Touch the screen firmly and accurately at
the point indicated by the crosshairs (see
the following sample screen).
2b. Repeat Step 2a for each of the 4
subsequent points indicated by the
crosshairs.
After initialization, the Home page displays (which
includes the Day, Date, and Time). Thereafter, the
last page accessed is displayed on the screen,
unless a screen saver has been set and is currently
running. If a screen saver has been set and is
currently running, touch the screen to once again
display the last page accessed.
6
3. From the Home page, choose a Director (the IP
address of the controller where Director resides). To
choose a Director, press System > Info > Director and
then pick a Director from the list. Thereafter, the Mini
Touch Screen assumes the same Director until you
choose to change it.
4. Choose the location (room) you want to control from
the drop-down list provided in the header. This is only
required once. Thereafter, the Mini Touch Screen
assumes the same location until you choose to
change it.
About the Home Page
The Mini Touch Screen home page can be broken down
into these parts:
1. Header Contents
2. Display Area
3. Quick-Control Tabs

7
NOTE: The instructions in this manual are based on the
default skin. When you apply a different skin, your
process steps will deviate from the ones documented in
this manual. We recommend strongly using the manual
to become familiar with the default user interface before
changing skins.
Header Contents
Home Button
When you press the Home button, the Home page
displays in the Display Area, which includes the Day,
Date, and Time, or any pertinent system message.
Blank Space (or Current Subsystem Button)
When the Home page displays, the header space next to
the System drop-down list is empty. When you choose a
subsystem button, the subsystem button “moves” to the
header and the subsystem’s default page is displayed.
The subsystem button in the header is useful when you
want to quickly jump to a new location within the
subsystem.
Location Button
Displays the room this device is currently associated with
for system navigation and control. If this device has not
yet been associated with a room, you will see a drop-
8
down arrow only (without a room name).The default room
for this device is set during system setup, but you can
choose a different room in the system at any time by
pressing this button and choosing a new room from the list
that is displayed in the Display Area.
Display Area
When you press the Home button, the Display area shows
the subsystem buttons.
When you press a subsystem button (such as Music), the
subsystem button “moves” to the header (next to Home)
and the Display area shows all media and device buttons
available for that subsystem (see the following example).
9
Media Buttons and Device Buttons
Media Buttons: Where broadcast or stored media are
available, an applicable media button displays on the
subsystem page. For example, the Radio page provides a
Broadcast Stations button, which provides access to radio
stations; the Music page provides a Browse button, which
provides access to stored media. Where only device
controls are needed (such as with lighting), no media
button is displayed.
Device Buttons: Following the media buttons (where
applicable) is any applicable device button, which is
created automatically when the installer adds the device
to the system. The button provides access to touch-
screen controls for the device.
Your installer (or you) can name the device anything
meaningful to users, but some typical device names are:
TV, Satellite, DVD, VCR, Tuner, CD, and Tape. We
recommend your installer give each device a unique
name. For example, if the system has two DVD players,
the installer might name one DVD-Family and the other
DVD-Bedroom. When a device is renamed in the system,
the corresponding button is automatically updated as well.
If more buttons are present than the display area can
show, a page scroll bar is displayed to let you know there
are more choices.
Order of Buttons
Media and device buttons are displayed in a pre-
determined order according to a Control4-specified
priority list. (If you would like to view the priority list, see
“Priority List for Media and Device Buttons” on page 51.)
