### Preparation

To install and configure an **OMNIplay3** you will need the following:

- **A screen with HDMI input**
- **HDMI cable**
- **Power adapter**
- **OMNIplay3 remote control or USB mouse/keyboard**
- **Network connectivity**
- **License key or PlayerID**

The installation will take between 1-4 minutes to complete. Using a USB mouse and keyboard will probably help reduce installation and configuration time.

### Installation & Configuration

Connect the **OMNIplay3** media player with a power source and HDMI cable to a screen.

Under the box, there will be weak blue light if **OMNIplay3** obtains power.

Change the input of the screen to the HDMI input you connected the **OMNIplay3** to with an HDMI cable. Below, is the first screen image that you will see.

![Installation of OMNIPlayer3](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/Installation%20of%20OMNIPlayer3.jpg)

**Using Private Server?**

Check the box for **Private Server** and enter your details. 

The first thing you do is to go to **Settings**.

• Click on **Configure** as shown in the image above. (Double click if using USB mouse)

In **Settings**, you will have access to control and to limit a series of features. In **Settings**, there are two stages that need to be completed.

#### Step 1: How to connect the OMNIplayer3 to a network

The OMNIplay3 supports both wired and wireless network connectivity. 

• **Wired connection**

We recommend connecting the **OMNIplay3** with a wired connection due to greater network stability. With this alternative, simply connect the RJ45 networking cable directly in the **OMNIplay3**. Please double-check that the ethernet setting is enabled and connection is working.

**• Wireless connection**

Under the **Wireless & networks category**, you will find the settings for **Wi-Fi**.

![OMNIPlayer3 Settings](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/OMNIPlayer3%20Settings.jpg)

**1.** Click on **Wi-Fi** and **enable Wi-Fi** in the top right corner. A list of available networks appears.

If no list of networks appear, please ensure that Wi-Fi is On and that the OMNIplay3 device is in within range of the router/access point you are trying to connect. A radio button in the top right corner will indicate if Wi-Fi is Off (Grey) or On (Green).

**2.** Select **your network**, enter the **password,** and **connect**.

Click **Advanced options** if you need to setup a Proxy or specific IP settings.

**3.** Verify that you are connected to your network and go back to the **Settings menu** by clicking the return arrow or right-click once if using a USB mouse.

![OMNIplayer Wifi Settings](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/OMNIplayer%20Wifi%20Settings.jpg)

**NB! Application update may install automatically.**  
The update may begin automatically in the background after you connect to a network and your device will restart after installing it. After the restart and to complete the update you may be prompted with a message where you need click to Decline (recommended) or Accept **Google's device security** settings.

You will only be prompted with this message once pr. device and if no answer is given then **OMNIplay3** will retry the update again, so do it quickly!

#### Step 2: How to activate OMNIplay3 as a device administrator

If your OMNIplay3 android device is version 7.1 this setting is automatically set, and Step 2 can be skipped.

To prevent an unwanted message to pop up on the screen and enable the software to update correctly after configuration, we must go into **Security** settings and ensure that **OMNIplayer** is a **Device administrator**.

- Click **Security** in the settings menu, under the category **Personal**.
- Click **Device Administrators**.

![OMNIplay Security settings](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/OMNIplay%20Security%20settings.jpg)

In **Device administrator** you must ensure that the checkbox for OMNIplayer is checked and active. If not then you need to activate:

- Click on the checkbox for **OMNIplayer** and choose **Activate.**

![OMNIplayer Device administrator](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/OMNIplayer%20Device%20administrator.jpg)

Right-click with the PC mouse to go back. From the image above, it will take 2 mouse clicks in order to go back to Settings menu.

#### Step 3: Set correct Date & Time and check display settings

Ensure that **Automatic Date & Time** and **Automatic time zone** settings are **off**. 

- Go to the **Settings** menu and select **Date & Time**.
- Set **Automatic date & time** and **Automatic timezone** to **off**.

If radio button on the right side is grey, that means that it is off.

- Go back to the **Settings **menu and select **Display**

If your **OMNIplay3** device has Android 7.1 the options will be unavailable and you can skip to [**Step 4**](https://support.databeat.net/en/how-to-setup-your-databeat-omniplay3#Step4).

- Verify that the option **Show the rotation button** **in the status bar** is set to **on**.
- Verify that **Hide Statusbar** is set to **on**.
- Exit **Settings** and go back to the **Configure** page of the **OMNIplay3**.

Great! You are now done with the required settings. The **OMNIplay3** device has a network connection, the app is activated as a **Device administrator** and has the correct **Date & Time** settings.

### Step 4: How to configure the license key on OMNIplay3

To link an **OMNIplay3** with your **DatabeatOMNI account** it requires a license key that must be activated on the **OMNIplay3**. 

The license key is unique and can only be used with one single device. The license key usually consists of six letters, four numbers, and a final letter. Example: **NOABCD0001A**

You can find your active license keys or [order new license keys](https://support.databeat.net/how-to-order-licenses-directly-from-databeat?hsLang=en) in **DatabeatOMNI**.

1. Log in to your **DatabeatOMNI** account on [www.databeat.net](https://www.databeat.net?hsLang=en).
2. Click the **Locations** tab, select the **location** the OMNIplay3 should be linked to.
3. Click the **OMNIplayers** tab on the right and you will see all active license keys.

![OMNIPlay3 how to set up license key](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/OMNIPlay3%20how%20to%20set%20up%20license%20key.jpg)

- Type in your **license key** and then click **Save**.

NB! Do not select **Beta** or **Private Server**

When you click **Save**, you will be notified to check **Device administrator settings** as pictured below. Since you already did this in step 2, you can click **Close**. 

![Compleating the configuration of OMNIplay3](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/Compleating%20the%20configuration%20of%20OMNIplay3.jpg)

- Click the **Restart button** and click **OK** to confirm restart.

Restart button is the circular arrow icon as pictured below

![Reboting the OMNIplay3](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/Reboting%20the%20OMNIplay3.gif)

An application update will be installed. At the end of the installation, a dialogue box for Security Harm will prompt. This option has to be accepted or declined in order for the installation to be complete. If none of the above is selected, the player will reboot and repeat. 

For OMNIplay3 remote control: Press Arrow Down \[v\] then Arrow Right \[\>\] or Arrow Left \[\<\] to select option, and \[OK\] to confirm selection. 

#### Configuration is now complete!

The **OMNIplay3** will now restart and download the set configuration from **DatabeatOMNI**. The content in the subscribed channel will need some time to download first and then play automatically. The time needed depends on the content in the channel and network speed.

 

![Finishing the set up of the OMNIplay3](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/Finishing%20the%20set%20up%20of%20the%20OMNIplay3.jpg)
