The Android interface

When you turn on your device, the main Home screen appears. The Home screen is the primary screen for accessing all of the TSC510 controller features on the device. You can add and customize Home screen(s) by adding app shortcuts and widgets (an at-a-glance view of the app’s most important information) and customizing access to frequently used settings (Quick Settings) .The main parts of the screen are:

1

Status bar indicator icons are shown at the top of the display. The right side of the status bar shows the mobile signal strength, Wi-Fi signal strength, and how much battery charge is left. The left side shows the time and app notifications.
