TCL Digital Signage Screen Setup Instructions
A step-by-step guide to configuring a brand new TCL display.
Part 1: Initial Setup Wizard
- Language
- On the "Welcome to TCL Digital Signage" screen, select English (or the appropriate language for the site).
- Connect to Internet
- On the "Connect to Internet" screen, choose Wired network if an ethernet cable is run to the unit.
- If no wired connection is available, select the client's Wi-Fi network, or choose Skip if internet is not needed yet.
- Privacy & Agreements
- Click Accept to agree to all agreements (User Agreement, Privacy Agreement, UX Improvement Plan).
- Check for Updates
- Select Check for updates if connected to the internet, so the unit is running the latest firmware.
- If not connected, or if you want to finish setup quickly, select Skip.
- Time Zone / Time
- Confirm the Time zone matches the site location.
- Confirm Date and Time are correct.
- Set Date Format and Time Format as needed (default M/D/Y, 12-hours).
- Select Confirm.
- The screen will show "All done!" and automatically enter the system after a few seconds.
- From the Home screen, open Settings.
- Select Image.
- Under Image effect, change the setting from Standard to Bright.
- This enhances contrast and better restores image detail, especially useful for retail/restaurant display environments.
- From Settings, select General.
- Select On/off setting.
- Find Startup (currently set to Home).
- Change Startup from Home to HDMI1. (Or the input the media player is inserted into)
- This ensures the screen boots directly into the HDMI1 input source instead of the TCL home/launcher screen.
