Media Folder

Click on Media Folder.

The contents of a folder inside the iCOMPEL is shown in a listing on this page. The files, typically images, in this folder will

have been programd to show on the screen one after each other.

To view a file, click its name. If the file is a video, however, it may not play on your PC if the PC does not have the

appropriate software.

By uploading, deleting and renaming the files, you can customize what is shown on the screen.

To upload (copy a file from your PC to the iCOMPEL):

Click the "Browse" button to bring up the familiar "Open File" type form.

Use the form to locate the file on your PC that you wish to copy onto the iCOMPEL.

Select the file and click the "Open" button.

Click the "Upload" button shown above.

It may take a while, depending on the size of the file, but when the upload is complete, the file will appear in the listing

above and is shown on the screen in due course.

To remove a file from the iCOMPEL:

Press the "Delete" (red "X") button alongside the file name in the listing.

Note: If you delete all files in the folder, then default media may reappear on the screen.

The files in the folder are programd to play in either a sequential or random order. If sequential, then it is in alphabetical

order of file name - numbers first (0-9) followed by upper case letters (A-Z) and, finally, lower case letters (a-z). You can

customize the order of play by renaming the files. It is easier, however, to rename the files before uploading them to the

iCOMPEL.

To rename a file already on the iCOMPEL:

Click the "Cut" (scissor) button alongside the file name.

Enter a new name.

Click the "Move File" button.

4. Tick the days of the week on which this event takes place.

5. Click 'Save'.

recently than the new start time for this event.
