Connecting the Unit
Before you can access the Internet, you
need to connect the unit to:
A. Your television set (directly or through
your VCR), or VGA monitor.
B. A telephone wall jack.
C. An AC electrical outlet.
A common installation (TV or VCR with
audio jacks) is depicted below. More detail
is provided on page 12. Your connection
choice depends on how your TV is set up:
1. Does your TV have S-VIDEO, RCA-type
A/V (audio/video), or RF coaxial jacks?
2. Is your TV connected to a VCR?
IF YOU HAVE:
THEN:
A TV/VCR without Audio/ Jacks...
...see page 10
A TV with S-Video Jack...
...see page 11
NOTE: Connection to S-VIDEO may offer improved video
display. To enhance audio performance, you may want to
integrate the unit into your home entertainment system.
A. Television and VCR
Connect one end of the supplied RCA-type A/V
cable to the BocaVision unit as identified and the
other end to the A/V IN jacks on your TV or VCR.
Make sure you match colors. If there is only one
audio jack, connect the white plugs only.
NOTE: If connecting through your VCR, connect
the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to the TV’s A/V IN jacks.
If using a coaxial cable for this connection, connect
the coax OUT jack on your VCR to the coax VHF/
UHF jack on your TV, using a coaxial connector
cable (not supplied). You will need either a coaxial
cable, or an RCA-type A/V cable, but not both.
B. Telephone
Connect one end of the telephone cable to the
unit’s telephone jack. Connect the other end to the
telephone wall jack. For best results, connect the
unit to a telephone wall jack that you are not
currently using. If you have only one telephone wall
jack, use the supplied T-splitter so the unit and the
phone can share the same line.
C. Power
Connect the proper end of the AC power cord to the
unit’s power receptacle and then plug in (DO THIS
LAST).

NOTE:
For best results, connect
the unit to a telephone wall jack
that you are not currently using.
If you have only one telephone wall
jack, use the supplied T-splitter so
the unit and the phone can share
the same line. When the unit is
active, an individual calling you will
receive a busy signal. If you have
Call Waiting, the unit will be
disconnected from the Internet and
you can take the call in the normal
manner. To reconnect to the
Internet following the phone call,
press GO BACK on your keyboard.
You will be re-connected to the
Internet and returned to the page
you were viewing when you
received the phone call. Call
Waiting can be disabled in the
Options Menu (see page 37).
