Introduction

Welcome to the Control4® world of home
automation! This System Quick Start Guide gives you
quick information about how to start enjoying your
Control4 system using OS 2.5.3 right away.
Your Control4 Dealer or installer may have given
you this guide after he or she installed your system.
If so, is the system working the way you expected it
to? After you read this guide, refer to the Control4
System User Guide (available on the Control4
website, www.control4.com under Customers >
Resources) to learn about how your system works.
If you still have questions, don't hesitate to contact
your dealer who may have some great suggestions
to make your system perform even better and give
you more options.
In this guide, you'll learn some basics about how to:
• Set up your account and register your system.
• Customize your system your way.
• Use the Navigators (touch screens, remotes,
MyHome app, TV screen, and so on) to manage
lights, music, videos, the intercom, security,
heating and cooling, and more.
• Use 4Store to purchase and use apps on your
Navigators.
• Learn about Composer Home Edition (HE, sold
separately) or Composer Media Edition (ME,
free download) for even more control over your
system.
Your Control4 system lets you automate many of
the compatible electrical, electronic, and motorized
devices in your home, helping to make your lifestye
more satisfying for you and your family.
• Control your lights from one or more keypad
buttons. Edit lighting scenes on your touch
screens or MyHomePC app.
• Control your video, movies, music, lights, and
window shades in the home theater using your
System Remote Control SR-150 or SR-250,
touch screens, MyHome devices, and more.
• Play music in every room or on the patio with
music zones or using a smartphone, Android,
PC, Mac, or touch screens.
Control4 System Quick Start Guide
• Control heating, air conditioning, the alarm
system, sprinklers, garage door opener, fireplace,
swimming pool, spa, and much more from a
keypad or your Navigators.
• Use the intercom to send and receive audio and
video (requires at least two touch screens that
support audio or audio and video intercom).
• Monitor and automate your home remotely. Use
this guide along with the Control4 System User
Guide to learn about managing your Control4
system when you're away.
• Control equipment and devices in specific
rooms. The Navigators let you control devices in
one room or the whole house. If your Navigator
isn't controlling the room you want, just change
rooms (see "Change Rooms" later in this guide).
• Manage up to eight devices per room. For
example, you can manage your TV, receiver,
tuner, DVD player, movie projector and screen,
and more in the same room.

Account Setup

Your Control4 Dealer may have already set up
your personal MyControl4 account, registered your
controller, and set up access to 4Store so you can
purchase apps for your touch screens. If so, you can
skip the next section. If not, you'll need to do the
following things right away; otherwise, your system
will not be fully functional.
NOTE: (1) Control4 requires that you or your
dealer create a MyControl4 account and
register your controller before using your new
system. (2) If your dealer has already set up
an account for you, make sure you get your
login (your email address) and password from
your dealer to access your account. The first
time you access your account, you'll need to
accept the Terms of Use agreement. Control4
recommends that you also accept email and
other offerings from Control4.
