Stage 4 — On-Screen Setup

1️⃣ Select Language

Choose your preferred language for the player interface.

2️⃣ Network Connection

If you preconfigured Wi-Fi during checkout, your stick will automatically connect.
If not — use the remote to open the menu, select your Wi-Fi network, and connect manually.

Once connected, you’ll see a pairing (registration) code displayed on the TV screen.

3️⃣ Link to Your AIScreen Manager Account

  1. Go to manager.aiscreen.io.
  2. Click Add Screen.
  3. Enter the pairing code from your TV screen.
  4. Assign a playlist or media file.
  5. Within seconds, your content will appear on the display.

Remote Control Functions

Your remote helps you control basic device operations.
Press the ☰ (three lines) button to open the Quick Menu.

From here you can:

  • Reconnect to a different Wi-Fi network.
  • Change your Bluetooth connection.
  • Restart the AIScreen Stick.

💡 The remote is mainly for backup control — most users won’t need it once the device is preconfigured.


Stage 5 — Start Playing Content

  1. Open your manager.aiscreen.io dashboard.
  2. Select the screen that was just added.
  3. Assign a playlist, media file, or schedule.
  4. Wait a few seconds — your content will start playing automatically.

💡 Best Practices

  • Naming convention: Location-Area-Number (e.g., Store-LA-Front).
  • Wi-Fi: Prefer 5 GHz networks for better speed and stability.
  • TV settings: Disable sleep mode and screensaver for uninterrupted playback.
  • Cable management: Secure all cables and leave space for cooling.
  • Bulk orders: Use Groups during checkout to configure multiple sticks at once.

✅ You’re Ready!

You’ve:

  • Ordered and configured your AIScreen Stick,
  • Unboxed and connected it,
  • Linked it to your AIScreen Manager,
  • Started streaming your content!
