MK802 Android PC BOOT Setup

Once you have everything set up properly according to the instructions above, you are ready to witness the birth of your brand new Smart TV. If you are familiar with the Android OS either on a phone or tablet, you may skip this part. If you have never used an Android device before, this will guide you through the first few steps in familiarizing yourself with the Android OS.

The MK802 Android PC comes installed with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich.
1 Power up both the TV and the MK802 Android PC. Make sure you set your TV's input to the correct HDMI input that you plugged the MK802 Android PC into.

2 The MK802 Android PC will take about 1 to 2 minutes to boot up. During boot up, you will briefly see a green loading screen with the Android mascot, Andy. This will then be replaced with a black screen with the word ANDROID on it.

If you do not see anything at all on the TV screen, make sure the TV input is correctly selected (see Step 1 above) and that the MK802 Android PC has powered up (the power light on the upper left of the logo printed on the MK802 Android PC should be turned on). Note that you might miss the green screen as it only turns on shortly before being replaced by the black one.

3 After boot up, you should see the Android Home screen. If your mouse is recognized by Android, you should be able to see the arrow cursor on the screen and control it. If not, you may have to swap to another mouse. Use a wired mouse if all things fail. If the cursor is sluggish or not responding properly, wait for awhile for the MK802 to complete boot up.

If the screen suddenly goes blank after the black boot up screen, there is a high possibility that your TV or display does not support 1080p. During the boot up sequence, the display is set at 720p but after completing boot up, the MK802 upscales the 720p to 1080p and if your display does not support 1080p, it will go blank and it might display an error message on unsupported display mode.

4 If everything has gone smoothly for you, you should be able to see a clock on the upper left and a row of icons at the bottom of the Home screen. There is another row of smaller icons at the bottom left of the screen and a digital clock on the bottom right.

If the default language on screen is not in English, do not panic! Click on the blue button near the top and click on settings. Scroll down the setting option list box until you see an icon of an "A". Click on that and a list of languages will pop up. Select the language you prefer.

5 It is important to know the function of the first 3 icons on the bottom left. The first is the Back button. Clicking on it will move you to the previous screen you were on.

The next icon that looks like a house is the Home button. Clicking on it sends you back to the current Home screen from any screen. This is not unlike the Home button on an iOS device.

Clicking on the button with the overlapping rectangle will pull up a list of apps you previously accessed. Each app on the list has a thumbnail for your reference.

The last icon that looks like a stack of 3 dots is the menu button. This brings up the menu option screen that links you to the setting page and the Home screen editing page among others.

On the upper right of the screen is an icon with 6 dots. This is the shortcut to the apps list. All the installed apps are listed on this page in a grid format.

The next important step is setting up WiFi. Click on the Settings button to bring up the Settings screen and select WiFi. You should see a list of available WiFi points that you can connect to. Make your selection and enter the WiFi access point password if prompted.

7 The Android OS uses a Google account to setup Gmail, Contacts and Calendar. If you have an existing Google account, you can use it. If you don't have one or if you wish to use a separate Google account for this device, sign up with a new Google account instead.

Take note that if you use your existing account, Android will sync with the account and all your mails, contacts and appointments will be synchronized. If this is not what you want, do not use your existing account. You cannot change the Goggle account without resetting the MK802 back to its original factory setting.
