| - | The core auto-updates by default, but the UI does not auto-update at this time (coming soon). If your device doesn’t have the latest UI version, open terminal and run this command (these devices comes with the script already for those wondering): | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | Always tell QORTector to shut down from the menu option, don’t use the power switch. Power switch should only be shut off after the device powers down to protect it from surges, but with that said, you should have a surge protector or UPS (battery power supply) regardless as the QORTector is intended to stay running 24/7. | ||

| - | ===== Important Notes ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | 1. The QORTector is setup to automatically start the Qortal Core in the background, this means you will not see the Qortal icon on the taskbar of the device, it runs in the background. When you restart the device, always remember to stop qortal first, as shown above. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The device was configured this way so that the Qortal core will start whether the user connects a monitor or not, you CAN configure it to start with a .desktop file so that it will show the icon on the taskbar, and there is a script for that available on crowetic' | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | 2. The QORTector must be setup for your specific country locale for wifi and timezone, if you wish to use wireless communications. Follow the instructions above in order to configure the device for your locale. We will start configuring the devices for US locale by default, but the majority of them have been shipped with UK locale since company start. | ||
