Important Safety Instructions and Declarations
1. Location
• Place the device in a dry place, far from water, smoke, dust, and heat (including ampliers).
• Keep the ventilation openings free and clear: Never put anything on the Home Center, and
don’t install it in a bookcase or cabinet that lacks airow.
• If you move the Home Center from a cold spot to a warm one, condensation may form
inside, so let it rest before you turn it on.
• Always use a dry cloth when cleaning it.
2. Power
• Your Home Center needs a socket that’s nearby and easily accessible.
• The plug is polarized (with one wide blade) so if it doesn’t t in your wall, the socket is
outdated and should be replaced — probably by an electrician. Please don’t use an adapter.
• Unplug the Home Center during lightning storms, and also when cleaning it, and if it won’t
be used for a while.
• Protect the power cord from damage by feet, wheels, crimping, and other stresses.
• Planning to use a dierent voltage? You’ll have to replace the power cord, so contact your
dealer.
3. Service
• If your Home Center is damaged (spills, falls, cord/plug issues, etc.), or if it smokes or smells
strange, unplug it and contact your dealer.
• Don’t try any repairs yourself. Opening the back cover may expose you to high voltage,
electric shock, and other hazards.
4. Remote
• Your remote requires alkaline batteries. Using other types may cause an explosion.
• Don’t expose batteries to excessive heat, such as hot sun, re, heaters, etc.
• Please dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

2. Review Home Center Back Panel
Looking for an on/o switch? You won’t nd it. Your Home Center is always
on, managing your network and using very little power. To keep it working
right, always leave it plugged in. A surge protector is a great way to guard
against harmful power uctuations.

For maximum enjoyment, the Home Center should connect to the HD Cable/Satellite Box and
your HDTV at the same time.
Using the provided HDMI cable, connect the HDMI TV port of the Home Center to your TV’s HDMI

Connect the Cable/Satellite Set Top Box to the Home Center HDMI STB port with the HDMI cable
that came with the Cable/Satellite box.
Once the system is operational you can use the Menu button on your Home Center remote

8. Activate Service
With the home centered connected to the television and
powered on you are now ready to activate your service.
The indicator light on the Home Center front panel should be
illuminated solid amber. You will need the activation number given to you by
your service provider.
Follow the on screen instructions on your Television.
If you do not see your activation instructions on the TV screen verify the input
source to your TV is set to the correct port. You may see Internet connection
options if your unit does not receive an automatic IP address.
Get setup instructions from your broadband service provider if you need to
use PPPoE or a Static IP to connect to the Internet. Your front panel indicator
will turn solid green when the unit successfully activates.

11. Home Monitoring and Netcam Connection
Before you begin:
DON’T follow the instructions provided with the Netcam, because they may
interfere with your ROS Home Monitoring service.
DO use the Netcam’s documentation for hardware installation and
description, and as a guide to the Netcam’s LEDs.
Set Up Your Netcam
1. Connect your Netcam to its power supply, and plug that into a power
outlet.
2. Connect your Netcam to the Home Center using WiFi.
3. Connect the Netcam to the Home Center by pressing the WPS buttons on
both the Netcam and the Home Center’s rear panel.
4. Wait to see the“Device Congured” notication on your TV.

video feed.
If necessary, your Home Center will automatically update the Netcam. Follow
the instructions shown on your TV for this process. DON’T disconnect or
unplug the Netcam until the update is complete. Doing so may make it
unusable.

12. Setup Phone Service
Your Home Center gives you another phone line. Let’s set that up.
1. Plug one power cord into the Gigaset Phone’s Base Station and then into
a power outlet.
2. Plug the other power cord into the Handset Cradle and then into a power
outlet.
3. Place the Handset in the Cradle and let it charge overnight.
4. Connect the Base Station to the Home Center’s Ethernet LAN port.
5. Pair the Handset with the Base Station:
a. On the Handset, choose Menu > Settings > Register > Register Handset.
b. Enter passcode 0000. Do not change this passcode. It must be 0000 to
work with your ROS voice service.
c. Select OK.
d. Press and hold the blue button on the base station for 5 seconds. Repeat
pressing the blue button if it doesn’t work the rst time.
The Home Center will automatically congure the Gigaset Phone. A test ring
on the phone means the Handset is connected to the Base Station. When it
rings again a minute or two later, you can use it.
13. Connect to PC
You can connect to your Home Center using a PC browser.
1. Type the Home Center ID you received from your Service Provider into
the browser’s address window, and you’ll see a log-in page.
2. Under Username, type your account name or username.
3. The Account Password is either the default — admin — or the new
Account Password you created. Haven’t created one? Do it now. You
have to replace the default Account Password with your own to activate
Remote access. See page 12 - SET YOUR PASSWORD for instructions.

14. Setup ROS Cloud
Your ROS Cloud application stores, organizes, and displays your personal
media, including pictures, music, and video. It needs a dedicated USB Hard
Drive or Flash Drive, which will attach to one of your Home Center’s USB ports.
Here’s how to connect the Drive:
1. Make sure the TV and Home Center are on.
2. Connect the Drive to the Home Center and wait for the onscreen
notication.
3. After it appears, press the Menu button on the Remote and navigate to
the ROS Cloud application.
4. Select the connected Drive and click on Associate Drive.

17
Copyright 2013 Prodea Systems
5. Click “Yes” on the conrmation window to format the drive.
Formatting will erase all the Drive’s data and pair it to work with the Home
Center, so be very sure you want to permanently assign this Drive to your
Home Center.
6. Formatting could take up to a few hours, depending on how big the Drive
is. Wait till it’s done. You can exit to “live view” at this point, or access other
services you have set up.Want to see how far along the formatting is? Go
to the ROS Cloud application and look under My Media.

All data on that Drive will be erased when it connects, so make sure you use a
new Drive or one you can permanently commit to the Home Center.
