Use this guide to run Rocket directly on your LG screen with the Rocket Touchscreen app instead of an Elo Backpack. To keep using the Elo Backpack, follow LG screen setup with an Elo Backpack instead.
These instructions apply to an LG screen whose Debug Menu has Embedded OS Enable and whose INPUT menu has Android. If your screen’s controls differ, contact Rocket support before changing administrator or debug settings.

Turn on Android and check the screen

  1. On the LG remote, press INPUT, then 1, 3, 7, 9 quickly to open the Debug Menu. It may take a few tries.
  2. Go to System Settings → Embedded OS Enable and select OPEN. The screen reboots.
  3. Press INPUT and select Android.
  4. Check that you can see Google Play Store on the home screen. You do not need to open it yet.
  5. Connect the LG screen itself to the internet:
    • Wi-Fi: open Settings and connect to your network.
    • Ethernet: move the cable from the Elo Backpack to the LG screen and confirm that it connects.
Stop here if you cannot see Google Play Store or the LG screen cannot connect to the internet. Contact Rocket support so we can help you return to the Elo Backpack.

Change the LG Android settings

You are already in the LG screen’s Settings after connecting to the internet.
  1. Go to System → Gesture and select Traditional Navigation.
  2. Turn off power-saving settings.
  3. Go to Administrator → Startup & Shutdown and turn off Auto Power off. Enter the screen’s administrator password if asked.
  4. Go to Security → Screen Lock and set a screen lock.

Change the Debug Menu settings

  1. On the remote, press INPUT, then 1, 3, 7, 9 quickly to reopen the Debug Menu.
  2. Under App Setting, set Swift TouchMenu and Sidebar Enable to OFF.
  3. Under Machine Setting, set Force startup source to Android and InLink (CEC) to OFF.
  4. Under System Settings, set Power to LAST and No signal poweroff to OFF.
  5. Exit the menu.

Install Rocket Touchscreen

  1. Open Google Play Store. Sign in with a school-approved Google account.
  2. Search for Rocket Touchscreen and install it. Skip adding a credit card if asked.
  3. Open the app. If a message says the app is pinned, tap Got it.
  4. Turn on Lockdown Mode.
  5. Enter your school’s Site ID. Rocket Touchscreen app setup shows where to find it in your site’s address.
Your Rocket site should now appear on the screen. If it does not, contact Rocket support with the screen’s model and a photo of what it shows.
