Getting Started
Powering Up the System
Make sure the Teknema Internet TV Set-Top Box is properly connected to a TV
(or VCR), and to
a nearby telephone wall jack.
•
Turn on your TV equipment.
•
If you are using a TV, switch to the Video-operating mode (e.g., press the TV/Video on the
TV or on the TV's remote, or refer to your TV/VCR Operating Manual.)
•
Connect the Power Adapter to the Internet TV Set-Top Box and to the wall plug.
•
Check the LED indicators for activity and wait for the opening screen to appear.
Once the Internet TV Set-Top Box is connected to the Power Adapter, use the Power key
on the
remote control to switch between operation and stand-by mode.
The Set-Up Procedure
The first time you power up your Internet TV Set-Top box you will be guided through the set-up
procedure in order to properly configure the unit with all the necessary data about your Internet
Service Provider, the dialing options, your email account(s) and so on.
With this documentation, you have also received an Activation Key
. You will be asked to type it in,
as well as your ZIP code. You can also specify if you want to register directly with Teknema, Inc.
for future software upgrades.
If you don’t have the optional infrared keyboard, you can fill in the fields with the on-screen
keyboard, as described in the next section. After a toll free call, your unit will connect to your
Internet Service Provider for the sign-up process, at the end of which the Internet TV Set-Top Box
will be properly configured with your personal data. Once the unit is properly configured,
subsequent power ups will display the Main Menu.
Please note:
to manually configure your Internet TV Set-Top Box, or to modify the current
settings, please refer to the “Reference: Set-Up” section. We strongly recommend that only
experienced users access the Set-Up pages.
The On-screen Keyboard
Sometimes typing is required, to fill in a form in a Web page, to type in a Web address, to specify
the keywords in a Web search, etc. While for extensive typing needs (such as email) we strongly
recommend using the optional infrared keyboard, most of the typing can be easily accomplished
with the on-screen keyboard.
Once you have moved the pointer over
the text field you want to type into,
press the Enter key to display the
cursor. Now press the Keyboard key on
the remote to display the image of a
"keyboard". You can now place the
pointer on the letter (or character) you
need and press the Enter key on the remote to actually “type” it in. When typing is finished, select
the Close or Enter button on the keyboard to make it disappear.
