    When people click on the AD Board, they automatically get the landmarks, the notecards and the objects, while the sound is played (everyone around the board can hear it).

    The textures are not sent to the recipient along with the other contents, but they are always displayed on the AD Board and a slideshow is created if you load more than one texture.

    HOW TO EXTEND THE RENTAL PERIOD

    If your rental is about to expire, you can extend its duration (if it is allowed by the owner of the AD Board) by paying again the AD Board one of the default amounts.

    Note: if the rental is free, you can extend it by clicking on the button named “Extend rental”. You can use this button only if the owner enabled this function.

    THE ONLINE/OFFLINE STATUS INDICATOR

    The status indicator shows if the advertiser is online or offline.
    It is displayed on the AD Board only if the owner of the device enabled it and if at least one picture is shown in the frame.
    If the above conditions are fulfilled, the tenant of the AD Board is able to use the “Status” button through the menu of the device.

    The “Status” button allows to change the online/offline status of the advertiser, regardless of his/her real inworld status.
    Through this button, the tenant can also choose to be displayed as “busy”.
    The busy status can not be automatically toggled when the tenant activates/disables the “away” or “unavailable” status through the options of the viewer.
