05 - Using your Eco zapbox

As  with  most  of  your  electrical  goods,  there  will  be  functions  you  use 
everyday, and others that you need only occasionally.
We’ve put the most commonly used functions in this section so you can 
get your Eco zapbox up and running as quickly as possible.

We suggest you read this section carefully, then use the other sections to dip in 
to whenever you need some extra details or some guidance for settings.

A - Using the EPG

The  Electronic  Programme  Guide, 
or  EPG,  is  an  on-screen  TV  guide. 
It  shows  all  scheduled  programmes 
seven  days  in  advance  for  every 
channel. Press the 

EPG

 button on the 

remote control to access the guide.

You  can  use  the 

56 

buttons  to 

select  a  different  channel.  Press 

OK

 

to  watch  the  selected  channel,  the 
EPG window will close automatically.

Press the 

green

 button to move to the 

next day’s schedule and the 

red

 button 

to move to the previous.
Your  EPG  also  contains  digital  radio 
channels. These are usually saved to 
the  higher  numbers,  starting  around 
channel 700.
