f.A.Q.’s

The following are frequently asked questions 

(F.A.Q.) about the DKEC.

NOTE:

more f.A.Q.’s are available in the DKEC help.

General Questions

Q:  Is the DKEC a computer?

A:

   No. While the product has many powerful 

features, it was not designed to be a 

computer. It does not have a hard drive 

and it will not play or read CD-ROMs 

designed for PCs. The current version of 

the product does not support file transfer, 

file sharing, print sharing, and other LAN/

WAN functions. Updates to enable this 

functionality may be available in the future. 

Q:  What operating system does the DKEC 

use?

A:

  The DKEC uses the Microsoft® Windows® 

CE.NET operating system.

Q:  how much memory is in the DKEC?

A:

  The FlipScreen has 128 MB of SDRAM.

Q:  Can I add more memory to the DKEC?

A:

  No, you cannot add more memory to your 

DKEC. However, the amount of RAM 

currently installed in the DKEC is more 

than adequate to handle all of its functions.

Q:  Can you print from the DKEC?

A:

  Printing is currently available with a variety 

of printers. 

Q:  Do the remote and keyboard use 

infrared (IR) or radio frequency (Rf) to 

communicate with the DKEC?

A:

  Infrared.

Q:  Can I hook up external speakers to the 

screen?

A:

  Yes. In addition to the two speakers that 

come standard with the unit, it comes 

equipped with audio connections on the 

back panel for additional speakers. These 

additional speakers would need to have 

their own dedicated amplifiers.

Service and Cleaning Questions

Q:  Are the remote and keyboard covered 

by the warranty?

A:

  Yes.

Q:  What happens if I accidentally spill 

water or food on the keyboard and/or 

remote?

A:

  Both items are water resistant. They can 

be washed with a mild detergent and water 

and then rinsed under the kitchen faucet.

Q:  how do I clean the touch screen display 

of my DKEC?

A:

  Any household cleaner that does not 

contain vinegar is appropriate. Do not 

spray the cleaner directly on the screen. 

Spray the cleaner on a nonabrasive cloth 

and rub the surface of the display to clean 

it.

Television Questions

Q:  Does the DKEC support picture in 

picture?

A:

  No, because picture in picture does not 

present well on a small screen.

Q:  Does the DKEC support video out?

A:

  No, the product is strictly video in and can 

act as a video monitor.

Internet Questions

Q:  What are the requirements for which 

Broadband carriers I can use?

A:

  At this time, any Broadband service 

provider’s technology should work with the 

DKEC. No additional software needs to be 

installed onto the DKEC.

Q:  What are the requirements for which 

Dial-Up ISps I can use?

A:

  As of the publishing of this document, 

the DKEC cannot support downloaded 

ISP software, such as that provided by 

AOL®. However, you can still access your 

Email at the AOL Anywhere® or MSN 

Hotmail® sites. All other major ISPs, such 

as Earthlink™, will work with the DKEC. 

More information about Web-Based Email 

is available in the DKEC Help.

Q:  What does it mean when the same Web 

site viewed on my DKEC looks slightly 

different from how it looks on my pC?

A:

  If this occurs, it will occur very rarely. It is 

a result of very minor differences between 

your DKEC browser and the browser on 

your PC. The DKEC browser is built on 

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.

Q:  Can I use Internet Connection Sharing 

(ICS) to connect my DKEC through 

my existing pC running the Windows 

operating system?

A:

  If your existing PC is running Windows 98 

Second Edition, Windows 2000, Windows 

Millennium Edition (Me), or Windows XP 

with Internet Connection Sharing installed, 

your DKEC, as well as other computers 

on your LAN, can then gain access to the 

Internet through the connection on the 

computer that has Internet Connection 

Sharing installed. For more information 

about ICS, visit http://www.microsoft.com

DVD and CD Questions

Q:  Why don’t some DVD buttons on the 

remote and keyboard work with all 

DVDs?

A:

  Not all DVDs are published with all of 

the features that the DKEC is capable 

of supporting. In some cases, DVD 

manufacturers have certain features 

available only at specific times. In addition, 

certain content will not respond to all 

commands. For example, the Stop button 

will not affect the “FBI Warning” screen.

fm Radio Questions

Q:  Why does the product have fm only 

(and not Am as well)?

A:

  Based on our research, the vast majority 

of our customer demographic listens 

exclusively to FM radio.

Q:  how many radio channels can I store 

with the product?

A:

  The product will store as many as 21 

channels.

Q:  Can I install my own fm antenna on the 

back of the appliance?

A:

  Yes. The antenna supplied with your unit 

has been tested and will typically provide 

good FM radio reception. You may be 

able to improve reception by using a more 

powerful antenna.

Q:  Does touch screen work with the fm 

radio mode?

A:

  Yes. The touch screen works with all the 

functionality of the Radio mode.
