Setting up a Chromecast for Use

Connect the ethernet cable and power adaptor to the chromecast and plugin to an available HDMI port on the TV. The ethernet cable should be connected to a network port connecting to the HSCN network and the power adaptor into a UK plug socket.

When the chromecast is first turned on you will need to connect the controller, after fitting the 2 x AAA batteries into the remote (included under power supply in chromecast box).

• Then choose - setup on tv instead (to avoid the need for google home app) it will then download a system update.
• Next it will show a screen saying connected before presenting another loading screen.
• Next you need to login with the email address and password associated to a google account.
• Then accept google terms and services (switch off all optional services)
• Choose no thanks to save device app info.
• And the same to search across apps - no thanks
• Choose services - Unselect all possible apps (YouTube mandatory).
• Choose not now for Setup remote power and volume for remote.
• Set profile lock (to prevent changes to the profile without a password).

From there you can then cast the page you need, however, there are some extra settings we would recommend for security:

Turn on "apps only mode" from account profile.

Under Network and Internet: turn off Wi-Fi

Under system: Turn off power saving mode Turn off scan for nearby devices

Under apps - all apps: Go through and uninstall all unused apps.

Under Remotes and accessories: Choose the remote and then select update.
