Using Voice Instructions
SurfBoard
may be used “hands-free” to control your TV
and, Cable or Satellite box
without lifting a finger!
SurfBoard
is factory pre-trained with some common voice
commands that you can use right out of the box. To
activate these voice commands, press the
[LISTEN]
button
on the bottom of the remote.
SurfBoard
will respond with
A
Listen On.
@
The blue KEYWORD indicator will illuminate.
You will have best results when the
SurfBoard
is located
between 12 and 36 inches from your mouth.
To avoid responding to ordinary conversation, the
SurfBoard
must hear a
keyword
before it can respond to a voice
command. The default keyword is “
SurfBoard
.”
After hearing the keyword, the remote will respond with a
bleep and your TV will mute. The green COMMAND
indicator will turn on for 3 seconds while it waits to hear one
of the following voice commands:
o
POWER
o
CHANNEL UP
o
CHANNEL DOWN
o
PREVIOUS
o
FAVORITE.
If the
SurfBoard
does not hear one of these commands
within 3 seconds, it will go back to listening for the keyword
A
s
urfboard
.

SurfBoard

s voices throughout
the United States. However some users may have an
accent or tonal quality that will not work as well with the pre-
trained out-of-box voice commands. If you experience
difficulties in having the
