User Manual Page 8 of 31 Mounting PDi offers a wide range of wall, floor and ceiling mounting options. Contact PDi for more information. Connections Pillow Speaker Connection A ¼” stereo-style pillow speaker (pendant control) jack is located on the TV’s connector panel on the left side of the TV. This TV is designed for 5V pillow speaker voltage and works with either a digital pillow speaker that generates digital-style control codes or a single-button analog (switch-style) pillow speaker.
Pillow Speakers To get full use out of all of the features available to patients on PDi A-Series TVs, PDi recommends selecting a pillow speaker with the following buttons: HOME, BACK, NAVIGATION ARROWS, and OK/SELECT. Ideally, the patient will also have a button that gives them the functionality of a mouse.
These remotes will operate any PDI TV regardless of the TV’s Bed A/B/C/D setting. Because these remotes have the TV SETUP button to gain full access to the TV’s menus, they should not be given to patients. PDi offers other remotes designed for patient use.
Connect Device to the Internet Note: a hardwired connection is PDi’s recommended method of providing internet connectivity. Guest networks with captive portal (that require the acceptance of terms and conditions before use) should NOT be used. See Network Requirements section for additional information.
USB Cloning Once you have a PDi TV configured the way you want, you can copy these settings to other PDi TVs of the same model and size. USB Cloning copies most of the TV settings, including: channel scan/map, power on channel, power on volume, channel aliases, min/max volume, source settings, WiFi settings.
The firmware is field upgradeable, but normally does not require this process and should be performed by the hospital technician. Once complete, the TV settings must be reprogrammed. A special data file is required from the PDi factory to complete this process by USB.
