After you successfully install the Cortex player, a registration code appears on your device. The Wi-Fi icon at the top-right of the screen indicates network connectivity status. If it is not green, check your device's internet connectivity. The six letter code displayed at the center of your device screen (for example, V57A6H in the following image) is the registration code for this player. You need to use this code to complete the registration.
Note: If you would like to register multiple devices at once, you have the option to Bulk register devices.
