Required Apps To Load
The M7 has been designed to work with a great variety of Android smartphones. In order to operate properly, certain apps may be needed on your device. We
recommend the following apps, some of which may or may not be needed:
Multi-action Home Button: Replaces hardware Home Button with onscreen Home Button:

Brightness Control & Dimmer: Dims phone screen to reduce power consumption and heat:

Stay Alive!: Prevents phone from timing out and sleep mode for continuous operation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
Screen Rotation Controller: Allows phone to be set in landscape mode for optimal screen view on the M7:

ZenUI Launcher-Theme,Wallpaper: May be required for certain phones to reconfigure desktop for proper viewing:

KK Launcher: An additional choice to reconfigure desktop for proper viewing. Our preference is the ZenUI launcher for simplicity over KK Launcher:

System Startup
1.) Once properly wired as described above, and connected to power, you will then see the Miracast active screen image on the M7 display showing river
stones. NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT SEE AN IMAGE ON THE M7 SCREEN, CONFIRM BLUE LED ON MIRACAST IS ON. ALSO CONFIRM M7 LED IS ON.
IF SO, PRESS THE M7 POWER BUTTON AND THE IMAGE SHOULD APPEAR.
2.) Activate settings on your phone to enable Miracast. Depending on your phone this will be listed as either “Quick connect”, “Screen Mirroring”, “Casting” or
other. This will then display your phones’ screen image on the M7 display. If you do not see the image, refer to your phone manufacturer’s specific
Miracast or screen mirroring instructions.
3.) Confirm touch screen operation by touching screen. Upon doing so, you will see a “TOUCH ACTIVATION” message and after a momentary lapse, the
touch screen will now control your phone.
Please note that after the M7 is powered on, you can remove or reconnect your phone at any time without any delayed operation.
Button Panel Control
The side mounted button panel allows convenient control over monitor settings, signal input and brightness. From top to bottom, functions are as follows:
1.) LED: This indicator light remains green when connected to power and turns red when connected to input.
2.) Power Button: Powers screen on/off.
3.) Menu: Opens on screen display menu for monitor control settings.
4.) Up Button: Allows movement to up menu item (s)
5.) Down Button: Allows movement to down menu item (s)
6.) Exit/Signal Select: Allows Menu exit/close. Is also a hot key to change input signal from HDMI to Video.
7.) Brightness Control Gradient: Allows brightness control to maximum at top and minimum at bottom. Note that LED brightness automatically dims according
to your screen brightness to avoid a bright LED during night operation.
Basic Operation
After proper startup, the M7 will remain in phone charging mode until you touch the touch screen. Upon doing so, a screen message will appear notifying you
“ACTIVATING TOUCH” whereby the touch screen is fully operational and controlling your phone. Note that the touch mode remains active for 3 minutes upon which
it automatically switches back to charge mode. For more detailed instructions,
Please refer to the Support tab at www.argonaut.mobi.
Maintenance & Care
When not in use for extended periods of time we recommend turning off power to both the M7 and Miracast dongle. For cleaning the display, do not use harsh
chemicals or Windex glass cleaner. We recommend cleaning with fresh clean water (distilled is ideal) and a clean soft terry or micro fiber cloth. Do not allow salt
water residue to remain on the glass as it may damage the antireflective optics.
