Accessing the Admin Screens

The APM software is extremely flexible and allows you to tailor the user interface to fit your market and your business. The tool you will use to customize the software is the Setup Wizard.

**Note: To make configuration changes in the APM, it is best to have a keyboard and mouse attached to the system prior to booting up.

To access this tool from the kiosk:

Access the looping introduction movie.
Touch the lower left corner of the screen to access a hidden menu.

**Note: This hidden button is only available on the Intro Movie screen.

At the next screen, enter your passcode and then press the Enter button to access the Admin Screens. The APM ships with a default passcode of 1 2 3 4.

There are three primary admin menu screens. Use the Next Menu button to navigate through them.
