2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove the ActivPanel from its packaging. It is recommended that two or more people handle the display due to its size and weight (approximately 142.7 pounds).
- Ensure the chosen installation location (wall mount or mobile stand, sold separately) is sturdy enough to support the display's weight and dimensions (35.4 x 4.3 x 35.4 inches).
- Keep all packaging materials until you have confirmed the product is fully functional and free of damage.
2.2 Connecting Power and External Devices
- Connect the power cable to the ActivPanel and then to a grounded electrical outlet.
- Connect your preferred external computing device (e.g., PC, laptop) to the ActivPanel using an HDMI cable for video and a USB cable for touch functionality. The ActivPanel LX is OS-flexible and relies on your connected device for its operating system.
- Additional connectivity options include USB-C and multiple USB 3.0 ports for peripherals.

- Press the power button located on the front or side panel of the ActivPanel to turn it on. The power indicator light will illuminate.
- To power off, press and hold the power button until the display shuts down.
3.2 Interactive Functionality
- Once your external computing device is connected and displaying on the ActivPanel, you can interact directly with the screen using your finger or the included stylus.
- The ActivPanel supports multi-touch gestures, allowing for intuitive navigation and annotation within your connected device's operating system.
- Utilize the stylus for precise writing and drawing. The magnetic holder on the panel provides convenient storage.
3.3 OS Flexibility and Security
The ActivPanel LX is designed without a built-in Android OS, enhancing security by preventing data storage directly on the panel and eliminating the need for panel-specific updates. This allows you to use your preferred operating system and security management methods from your connected device.
