Philips 10BDL5051T - Automated setup

1. Download and Import ZIP file

We have created a ZIP export that simplifies the setup of your device. The ZIP includes the Fishbowl app configuration, default settings, and a replacement for the Kika keyboard, so you do not need to perform those steps separately.

If you prefer to manually set up the device, please refer to our Manual Setup instead.

  1. On a computer, download the Fishbowl 10BDL5051T Signage Display Settings from our Fishbowl Google Drive.
  2. Format a flash disk or SD card. It needs to be completely empty.
  3. Extract the downloaded file (philips.zip). By default it will extract into a folder named philips.
  4. Copy the philips folder directly to the empty flash disk or SD card. The philips folder should be the only item in the root of the storage medium.
  5. Eject/safely remove the flash disk or SD card from your computer.
  6. Insert the flash disk or SD card into a Philips 10BDL5051T that has been reset to factory settings.
  7. After a factory reset, on the Welcome screen, select your language and press Start.
  8. On the Date & Time screen, select your time zone and tap Next.
  9. On the Clone Media Files into Internal screen, tap Skip.
  10. On the Signage Display Settings screen, tap on Import Signage Display Settings from either USB or SD, depending on the storage medium you are using.
  11. On the Setup Complete screen, tap on Finish and wait for the import to complete. This could take several minutes. The tablet will restart after this has completed.
  12. After the tablet has imported the settings and restarted, Fishbowl will start automatically. However, you first need to connect to the internet.
