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 2.4 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 through this guide along with
the Control4 System User Guide (available on the
Control4 website under Residential > Manuals &
Resources) and learn how your system works, if you
still have questions, don't hesitate to contact your
Control4 dealer. Your dealer may have some great
suggestions to make your system perform even
better!
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 so on.
• Play music in every room or on the patio with
music zones.
• 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.
See the Control4 System User Guide on the Control4
website under Residential > Manuals & Resources
(see "Resources" later in this document) to learn
more about your system.

Account Setup

Your Control4 dealer may have already set up your
personal account on my.control4.com 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: Control4 requires that you create a
my.control4.com account and register your
controller before using your new system.

Register Your System

Go to my.control4.com to register your controller
and set up your personal Control4 account so
your system software can access and download
information about movies, music, TV channels,
software updates, 4Store, and more. (See Account
Quick Setup on the Control4 website under
Residential > Manuals & Resources).
