TURNING ON AND TUNING IN
Turning on your home terminal
After you have connected your home terminal to the AC wall outlet (and switched this
outlet ON, if it has a switch), wait until you can see the time on its front-panel display.
Press the button labeled “POWER” on the front panel of your home terminal to turn it on.
The word POWER lights up on the front panel, to show that your home terminal is ON.
Tuning your TV and VCR to your home terminal
The signal at the RF output of your home terminal (labeled “TO TV”) is on either channel 3
or channel 4, depending on where you live. For you to be able to watch or record the
programs from this output, your TV and VCR (or other equipment) must be tuned to the
correct channel. The installer will probably have done this tuning for you. However, if you get
a new TV or VCR, or if you need to tune for any other reason, carry out the following steps.
1. Contact your cable operator to find out the correct channel for your location (3 or 4).
This is your home terminal’s RF output channel.
2. Make sure that all of the equipment, including your home terminal, is turned on.
Make sure that you have NOT selected an AV- or line-input at your TV.
Make sure that the bypass feature is turned off (BYPASS is NOT lighted on the front
panel).
3. Switch the TV/VCR switch on your VCR to “TV”.

It is important to wait for the time to appear on the display before you turn on your home terminal.

any updates that are available.
