As we welcome the vibrant season of Spring and the upcoming school holidays, it’s the perfect time to give your CommBox screens a little TLC. A well-maintained screen enhances learning experiences, maximises functionality, and ensures your classroom or meeting room technology operates at its best.
Here are some handy tips to help you refresh your CommBox screens and get them ready for the new term.
1. Firmware Updates
Ensure your CommBox screens are running the latest firmware. Regular updates improve performance, introduce new features, and enhance security. Check CommBox Manage or get in touch with us for the latest firmware version. Following the update instructions will keep your screens functioning smoothly and efficiently.
2. Software and App Updates Through the Store
Just like firmware, keeping your applications up to date is crucial. Visit the app store on your CommBox screen to check for available software updates. Regular updates not only fix bugs but also enhance user experience with new functionalities that can enrich meetings, lessons and classroom interactions.
3. Setting Power Schedules
Utilising power schedules is an excellent way to save energy and extend the life of your screens. Access the Knowledge Base on the CommBox website for step-by-step guidance on setting up power schedules. This feature allows you to automate when your screens turn on and off, ensuring they’re only active during business or school hours.
4. Enrolling All Panels on CommBox Manage
If you have multiple CommBox screens across your business or school, enrolling them in CommBox Manage is essential for efficient management. This centralised system allows you to monitor and control all screens from one location, simplifying updates, settings adjustments, and performance tracking. Make sure every panel is enrolled to streamline your operations.
5. Screen Cleaning
A clean screen not only looks better but also enhances visibility and engagement. Use a microfiber cloth and appropriate cleaning solution (such as Isocol Rubbing Alcohol) to gently wipe down your screens. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surface. Regular cleaning helps prevent smudges and dust build-up, ensuring your presentations are always crystal clear.
6. Accessory Checks
Take a moment to inspect any accessories connected to your CommBox screens. This includes HDMI cables, CommBox pens, remote controls, and any other peripherals. Ensure they are functioning correctly and replace any worn or damaged items. Having reliable accessories maximises the effectiveness of your CommBox and contributes to a smoother user experience.
7. Checking Cables
Proper cable management is crucial for maintaining a clutter-free and safe environment. Check all cables for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure they are securely connected and organised to prevent any tripping hazards or connectivity issues. A quick cable check can save you from unexpected disruptions during meetings or classes.
8. New Screen Templates
Finally, explore new screen templates that can refresh your meeting or classroom presentations and enhance engagement. Check the CommBox resource library for fresh designs that suit various subjects and activities or upload your own via USB or CommBox Manage. Customising your screen with new templates can bring a vibrant touch to your lessons and capture your students’ attention.
Taking the time to implement these tips will ensure your CommBox screens are not only functioning optimally but are also a source of inspiration and engagement for your students. With a little spring cleaning and preparation, you can set the stage for a productive and exciting new term. Enjoy the school holidays, and happy Spring cleaning!
