FAQ's
Will I need to re-enter the PIN at any stage after setting up the application?
No you do not need to re-enter in the PIN again (unless you are exiting out the app to alter some settings). By design, the NowSignage App will autoboot upon a hard reset of the device, so if the device is fully powered off/on within 30 seconds the app will automatically launch itself up and automatically re-enter the stored PIN number.
