1 - MYPLACE TABLET
The MyPlace app runs on its own dedicated wall mounted touch screen. This touch screen creates a hub for control of your MyPlace system.

The MyPlace touch screen runs Android, which means it can do so much more than just control your MyPlace system. You can also install apps such as News apps, Email & Weather from the Google Play Store.
Your MyPlace touch screen is permanently attached to your wall with the ability to pivot between portrait & landscape modes so that you can enjoy all your apps in the orientation that suits them best.
To exit the MyPlace app press the home button from any screen as pictured below.

If you are not familiar with the Android operating system, an abundance of information can be found on the internet.
Advantage Air touchscreens are manufactured using a static Android version, therefore operating system updates to newer Android versions are unavailable. Critical updates will be made available whenever released. See note at the end of the user manual *
