Power Button Behavior:
To power on the console, press and hold the power button for at least three seconds.

To power off the console, press and hold the power button for at least five seconds. The UI will shut off within another two seconds and the power will be cut off within another 5 seconds.
If the console does not power off using the directions above, the console can be forced off. To force the console to power off, press and hold the power button for at least eight seconds. The LED will flash GREEN 3 times indicating forced power-off, the screen will blank, and the device will be able to be powered on again after another 5 seconds.

Locked Mode
Locked Mode is the default operation mode for the EverbriteCONNECT console. In Locked mode, an EverbriteCONNECT login will be required at power-on and every 24 hours for security purposes. Point of Sale-controlled pricing updates and remote pricing updates will continue to operate in the event a login has timed out. The Console will also remain connected to EverbriteCONNECT to enable heath monitoring and remote control.
Note
Everbrite recommends utilizing Locked Mode to ensure that only authorized users may make changes to sign pricing, captions, and other settings
Unlocked Mode
Console will not require a login at power-on, remains connected to EverbriteCONNECT services over the internet. Many console and sign configuration items are disabled in this mode for security purposes.
Note
In Unlocked Mode, any person with physical access to the console will be able to make changes to sign pricing, captions, and other settings
Offline Mode
Offline Mode can be used in the event the EverbriteCONNECT console is installed at a location that does not, and will not have internet access. Console will operate similar to unlocked mode, with additional hardware configuration options unlocked. Operating in off-line mode will disable mobile/sms/email health monitoring alerts, remote control and diagnostics.
Note
Do not utilize Offline Mode for temporary internet disruptions. In Offline Mode, any person with physical access to the console will be able to make changes to sign pricing, captions, and other settings.
