Getting started

Initial settings and schedules

IMPORTANT
Chime Master often sets up and programs systems prior to shipment, according to the needs of the client.
Read this section to avoid losing your settings.

Reviewing the schedule

To review such a schedule or check to see if your system does not have a schedule, bring up the Schedule Review screen:

  • Login with the PIN code (initially 1234).
  • Tap the Schedule button.
  • Tap the Review button.

If there are no events scheduled, the screen will report "Nothing is scheduled."

Use the Guided Setup

This installation setup will step you through a questionnaire about your denominational traditions that will inform how the SmartAlmanac™ chooses music throughout the liturgical year.

  • Login or tap the Home icon at the top of the screen.
  • Tap the Settings button on the Home screen then Factory Reset on the settings screen. Next you will have three options,
    • Factory Reset - clears everything and starts over with a fresh system
    • Clear Almanac Only - leaves your schedule intact, but allows you to change denominational settings
    • Cancel - allows you to exit without clearing or changing anything.

Each screen of the questionnaire features a blue Information button that explains your choices in detail. All of the choices you make may be adjusted later using the menus listed below.

Change the PIN security code

We ship new systems with the security PIN for the first user (an administrator) set to 1234. This can be changed for obvious reasons if the ringing system is in a public area. To reset the code:

  • Login or tap the Home icon at the top of the screen.
  • Tap the Settings button.
  • Tap the User Profile button.
  • Tap the Current PIN field and enter it.
  • Tap the New PIN field. Enter the new PIN you want to set with a length from four to ten digits.
  • Tap the Verify PIN field. Re-enter the new PIN.
  • Tap the Save PIN button

Front panel controls

Lighted power button

When power is restored to the system, it will power on after a delay to test the line voltage. The power light will blink green while the system is initializing. It will turn solid gold when the system is ready. There are three gestures you can make on the button.

Single-Click Display on/brightness
wakes up the backlight for the touch screen and adjusts the brightness
Double-click Stop playing
cancels any concert or ringing in progress (light momentarily turns red)
Press and hold for 1 second System shutdown
cancels concerts and waits to be sure you want to initiate Shut Down (light turns red, then blinks magenta).
If the button is not clicked again while blinking magenta, Shut down process will begin (light blinks blue).
Wait until the button is solid blue before disconnecting AC power.
Clicking when the button is solid blue will restart the system.

Touch screen

  • A single, light tap with your finger or the soft end of the supplied stylus is all that is required. Pressing on the display or using a pointed object will cause damage.
  • After several minutes of inactivity, it is normal for the screen to dim, lock and even go completely dark to save power. As long as the status light is gold, scheduled events will play normally.

Each screen menu will have a toolbar at the top for navigation, speaker control and status. Usage details are on the the Home screen page below.

Front screen menu screens and icons

Choose the icon labels below to access instructions for each. This list is organized in the order they appear on the system screens.

Remote management

We are busy building the Chime Center™ remote management portal. These features require the ringing system to be connected to the Internet.
