You may need to perform a software update and power cycle your Sensia to see the new Facebook App. To activate the Facebook App on your Sensia, you will need to follow the instructions on Sensia. You will be asked to log onto a website where you will fill in your Facebook log on details and password. You will then give permission for your wall feed to be used and then a code will be generated which you need to input onto Sensia.

Once you have inputted your code, your status updates will be shown with your friends’ messages. All single posts will be visible and can be viewed more easily in full screen view (simply tap the top right hand corner of the visual panel and it will display in full screen. Tap the eye icon to change the view to your preference once in full screen).

If the post has a number attached to it, there are more posts to view. Simply tap the number or the green bubble to view the posts. At the moment you are not able to respond to posts.

Some posts may not display if they are from Apps such as Farmville – we are working on being able to display this information in a future update.

To post your own message, tap your photo in the top left hand corner, write your post and then tap the + icon in the bottom left hand corner to confirm the post.

Currently, you cannot display your profile page but we are working on additional functionality to be released in a future software update.

Only one user can be active. If you want to change to a different user, you need to deactivate the first account beforehand and get a code to activate the second user. At the moment the original user will need to get another code to reactivate their account. 

 We are working on an update that will allow all activated users to log back onto their account without having to get another code.

The Twitter App on Sensia is now available

To log in to Twitter, tap the cog in the visual panel (top right) and type in your user name and password making sure you ‘ok’ both the username and password with the green button on the keyboard. To post a tweet, simply tap the cog again, tap ‘post’ and type in your post. Dismiss the keyboard with the green button and then tap the bird icon in the bubble to make the post. In a couple of seconds, a bubble will appear saying  – 1 new result, which you tap to view your post. In addition you can make a reply tweet to one on screen by tapping the bird icon to the right of an existing comment.

Also on the ’remember me’ option when you log in, if you select (green) then your details are encrypted and stored for future log-on. If you don’t do this, your log-in details will be lost whenever you cause the twitter application to restart. A restart occurs when disconnecting power, switching on from standby or even scrolling to the weather App as only 1 App can run on the radio at once. Scrolling to slide show or photoviewer will leave the current App in memory so that won’t cause a restart\re-log in.

 Reviewing Tips:-

• How to switch on your Sensia: Press and hold silver button on top of unit.
• Auto-tuning: Perform auto-tune function to ensure all DAB stations in your area are accessible. Auto-tune should happen automatically the first time you switch Sensia on. If you take Sensia to a different location and need to auto-tune again, make sure you are in DAB mode, that your aerial is extended, go to settings and tap the autotune icon.
• Portability: Use optional ChargePAK™ to activate screen without plugging into mains (a short charge maybe necessary)
• Binding the remote control: The remote control supplied with Sensia should work out of the box. However should it need re-binding, follow the on-screen instructions in the settings menu.
