MobiView is NOT compatible with Insight360 The MobiView is paired with the MultiHub at the factory. This pairing is confirmed the first time the MobiView is turned on. The first time the MobiView is turned on, it attempts to connect automatically with the MultiHub. If the MobiView cannot connect to the MultiHub, the device can be paired manually.
You can change the brightness of the MobiView touch screen. The amount of brightness will affect battery life; brighter screens use more battery. The MobiView touch screen dims after a set amount of time to maximize battery life. You can adjust both the default screen brightness and the amount of time the screen can sit without being used before it enters sleep mode.
Turning Technologies periodically updates the firmware on the MobiViewand the MultiHub. If WorkSpace or Flow detects a new version of the firmware for the MobiView or MultiHub, it generates a message at start-up on the MobiView. If updating the MobiView firmware, remove the MultiHub from the computer.
