#### Setup Steps for Ad/Signage Builds

(This section only applies to our Ad/Signage builds using Garlic Launcher)

##### Initial Setup

Go through the builds SetupWizard and connect to a network. Then once complete, the Garlic-Launcher should load. Swipe down and hit the power button or use ctrl-alt-del to reboot the device now.

##### SMIL Control setup

(You will need to have created an account on https://admin.smil-control.com and be logged in)

After thje device reboots, you should see a SMIL Control screen with a code on it.

Access the https://admin.smil-control.com website and going to Player > Transfer, and enter the code from the device in there. Once registered, your device will show on the Players default screen. You can then setup a playlist and other options from the SMIL Control web UI.

##### !! Playback Notice !!

Sometimes the playlist will show a black screen when starting. In the event this happens, we suggest sending the player commands from SMIL COntrol site to reboot and clear video & web cache. This may need you to reboot the device or wait till the next update period is sent from SMIL Control.
