no internal IR receiver.
12

Starting the IPTV STB
When you switch on IPTV STB for the rst time, the device will start down-
loading the latest version of software. During the update the special service
message and progress bar are displayed on the TV set’s screen. The soft-
ware update process can take a few minutes. Do not disconnect the device
from power supply and Ethernet before the update is complete. After nish-
ing the update procedure, IPTV STB will automatically reboot.
As a new software version appears, it will be automatically downloaded to
the device.
Using the Remote Control
Differences Between RF and IR Remote Controls
Your IPTV STB can be supplied with IR or RF remote control (RC).
Determine the Remote Control type by the picture (see Remote Control But-
tons Specication).
IR Remote Control is a common remote control, which requires an IR receiver
located in the direct visibility range from the device. Usually it is an internal IR
receiver having a special window to receive signals located at the front panel
of the device. If your IPTV STB has a slot for an external IR receiver, you can
x the receiver in a suitable place and aim the Remote Control to it to control
the device (see Connecting External IR Receiver for IR Remote Control).
RF Remote Control is a radio frequency remote control, which does not re-
quire the direct visibility range from the device. RF Remote Control works in a
range of 50 m of direct visibility and can also overcome small obstacles, thin
walls, etc., however in this case the action radius considerably decreases.
13

Installation of Batteries to the Remote Control
Two batteries of the AAA type are used in IR and RF Remote Control. Put the
batteries into Remote Control like it is shown in the picture:
• Remove the cover from the batteries’ compartment.
• Insert batteries keeping the correct polarity.
• Close the batteries’ compartment cover.
When inserting or replacing batteries in Remote Control, keep the following
conditions:
1. Strictly keep the batteries’ polarity.
2. Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.
3. Do not try to charge batteries.
4. Insert both batteries of the same manufacturer and model.
Connecting the RF Remote Control
If your device is equipped with the RF Remote Control, you should connect it
to the IPTV STB, which you are going to control with the Remote Control. To
connect the RF Remote Control, do the following:
1. Insert the batteries into the Remote Control.
2. Put the Remote Control close to the IPTV STB no farther than at 20 cm
from the device.
3. Press the Favorites and >>| buttons simultaneously.
4. If the Remote Control’s led indicator lights up and lights permanently, the
Remote Control has been successfully connected to the IPTV STB and
the RF Remote Control is ready to use.
If the indicator blinks, repeat steps 2, 3, 4.
If the indicator does not light up, make sure that you have installed the
working batteries properly and repeat steps 2, 3, 4.
14

Connecting External IR Receiver for Remote Control
If your device is supplied with the RF Remote Control, you do not need an exter-
nal IR receiver.
If your device has a slot to plug in an external IR receiver, you can connect it
to IPTV STB and use this receiver in the direct visibility range instead of using
internal IR receiver of the device.
Both external and internal receivers accept signals from the same Remote
Control. When an external receiver is connected, it accepts signals from Remote
Control. In order to send commands to the internal receiver aiming the Remote
Control to the window on the front panel of the device, disconnect the external
receiver from IPTV STB.
External IR receiver is not included with the accessories. You can purchase it
separately.
Insert the external IR receiver into the slot located at the back panel of the de-
vice (see the back panel picture).
Place the signal receiving eye of the receiver in the direct visibility range from
the device (see Device Installation).

Installation of the Hard Disk (HDD)
The SML-292 HD Premium model allows you to install an internal hard disk
into the device.
Hard disk is not included with the accessories. You can purchase the disk
separately.
HDD Requirements:
• Size 2.5’’
• Thickness 7, 9.5, 12 mm. To install 7 or 9.5 mm disk, use the appropriate
plastic handle shipped with the box
• SATA-300 connection slot and data transmission
• SATA COMBO connector type (SATA Data+SATA Power)
• Recommended rotation speed: 5400 rev/min
• Up to 1 TB volume
When choosing the HDD model for your IPTV STB you may use the recom-
mended HDD model list from the device manufacturer, which is available on the
web site:
www.smartlabs.tv/iptvstbdfg
The IPTB STB’s manufacturer does not recommend you to use HDD with more
than 5400 rev/min speed, because IPTV STB’s enclosure will overheat. If you
install HDD with more than 5400 rev/min speed, HDD will work out of the esti-
mated recommended temperature mode, which can decrease both the device
and HDD’s life time.
Install the disk as it is shown in the picture:
Attention! Before you install/remove HDD, switch off the device and discon-
nect it from power supply.
7 mm
9.5 mm

Plug in the disk to the slot using the
handle as it is shown in the picture.
19
Switch off the device and disconnect it from the wall outlet. Turn
the device upside-down. To prevent scratching the glance sur-
faces, put it on a fabric laying.
Attention! To install 12 mm disk, carefully cut off the lug at the internal side of
the HDD cover. A plastic handle is not required in this case.

20
Close the HDD cover so that both locks click.
To remove the internal HDD from the STB, perform the installation actions in
the reverse order.
