dashboard you can easily access all iPronto’s applications. The dashboard offers access to three basic applications:
the Remote Control, the Electronic Program Guide and the Browser, however, you will be able to add new applications
to the dashboard in the future.
With iPronto’s universal Remote Control you can operate almost all your devices, as long as they understand
IR (infrared) signals. And because of its intuitive interface, iPronto is easy to use for everybody.
But iPronto is not only a Remote Control: it also has an Electronic Program Guide. Without any effort you always
have an up-to-date and customizable Program Guide for your favorite channels. What makes this Electronic Program
Guide so unique is its direct interaction with the iPronto’s Remote Control. No more wading through pages of program
guides. Get the information you want fast and start watching your programs immediately by tapping one single button.
You are watching TV and would like to see sports shows? Using the EPG, you only need one button press to surf
through the channels that are broadcasting sports at this particular moment.

possible to connect to the Internet while you sit back and relax in front of your TV.

Installing the Wireless LAN Adapter
In a wireless network, the Wireless Access Point (WAP) is the last point that is connected to your network with wires.
To communicate with your iPronto, the WAP sends out RF (radio frequency) signals, which spread in all directions. The
iPronto’s Wireless LAN Adapter (also called PCMCIA card) receives these RF signals and sends RF signals back to the
WAP.
The first thing you do when you take your iPronto out of the box, is installing this Wireless LAN Adapter. In the
following illustrations you see how the installation works:
1Open the Wireless LAN Adapter cover by pushing in the grips and sliding off the cover in the direction
indicated below (figure 1).
2Insert the Wireless LAN Adapter in the socket, as indicated below (figure 2).

LAN Adapter is installed, there is no need to remove it. It can permanently be left inside the iPronto.

Recharging
The iPronto is provided with a power adapter to recharge the battery.
It is best to fully recharge the battery. It takes 2 to 3 hours to recharge the battery. Recharging automatically stops
when the battery is full.
If you recharge when the battery is completely empty, you might lose some of your settings.
In normal use, recharge every 2 days. When you use the iPronto very frequently, recharge every day.
You can use the iPronto while it is being recharged. While the battery is being recharged, the Status Display shows a
full battery indication.
Plug in the power adapter as shown in the illustration:
The first time you put the battery in the iPronto, the iPronto will
start up automatically and guide you to the System Settings.
This may take 1 to 2 minutes. Continue with the next chapter,
Getting the iPronto Up and Running, to adjust the settings.
