1. Open the cover.
2. Insert the batteries.
3. Close the lid.
Warning: The batteries should not be recharged, disassembled, electrically short-
circuited, be mixed or used with other types of batteries.
2.7 Using the remote control and USB adapter
Fig. 6
Please first insert the USB adapter of the remote control in a free USB port. This USB adapter receives
the RF (radio controlled) signals from remote control. Without this adapter only the Standby button
will work via the IR sensor (infrared). The remote control has an in-built “G-sensor” which is used as
pointer on your screen in the Android mode. This is called as “Air mouse” function and allows you to
move the pointer by moving the remote control through the air.
6
PART 1

Note: As this function uses more power as normal pressing of buttons we
recommend using Alkaline batteries to ensure longer operation time
of your remote control. When the batteries are almost empty the LED
indication on the remote control will start blinking for 15 seconds after you
press any button.
Under normal conditions your remote control has been paired with the USB adapter in the factory
and therefore the “Air mouse” function of your remote control will directly work for your receiver.
In case you can only use the qbutton on the remote control and none of the other buttons have
a function, or in case the red LED on the remote control keeps blinking, it could be that the pairing
between the remote control and the USB adapter is not correct.
In that case you need to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually:
1. Remove the USB adapter from the USB slot on the receiver.
2. Make sure the receiver is switched ON.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control and insert them again. The LED on the remote
control starts flashing.
4. Press and hold the OK and buttons at the same time for a few seconds. The LED on the
remote control flashes more quickly.
5. Insert the USB adapter into a free USB port of the receiver and wait until the LED on the remote
control stops flashing (fig. 6).
6. Now the remote control is paired with the USB adapter.
NOTE: The function of Standby on the remote control is limited or not possible
if there are obstacles in front of the remote control sensor on the front
panel of the receiver. If only the Standby button is working and there is no
reaction when pressing any other button it could be that the batteries are
empty or the USB adapter was removed or, as mentioned above, you need
to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually.
3.0 CONNECTIONS
For basic setup with 1 dish + 1 LNB: Connect the satellite cable to the SAT IN connector on your
receiver. For advanced dish setup, refer to section 3.2.
Warning: Please make sure that any connection devices or equipment are
disconnected from their main power before you make connections
between them and your receiver.
3.1 Basic connection
Fig. 7
a. Connect the LNB of your satellite antenna to the SAT IN connector of your receiver using a
good quality coaxial cable and suitable ‘F-connector’ plugs.
7
PART 1
English

b. Connect one end of a good quality HDMI cable to the HDMI output on your receiver and the
other end to the HDMI input of your TV.
c. Connect the LAN cable from your router/Internet connection into the RJ45 LAN input.
d. Plug in the power plug from the 12 V adapter and insert the adapter into a suitable wall outlet.
3.2 Connecting multiple xed LNBs using a DiSEqC 1.0/1.1
switch
Fig. 8
a. Connect the LNBs of your fixed antenna to the inputs of a DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 switch
b. Connect the output or “to receiver” connector of the DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 switch to the SAT IN
connector on your receiver.
3.3 Connecting to the Internet
Fig. 9
a. For the best performance we advise using a wired connection to your router.
b. Alternatively, you can use the in-built wireless adapter to connect to the Internet via your
wireless router.
Note: Be aware that the Internet speed will be reduced by walls or long distance
between the receiver and the router when using wireless connection. This
will lead to lower quality of video streams from the Internet.
3.4 Connecting to an Audio Amplier
Fig. 7
Use the included 3.5 mm AV to RCA cable to connect your receiver to the analogue or digital input
of your Hi-Fi system or audio amplifier. Use the white and red RCA for analogue amplifier. For digital
audio use one of these RCA connectors. Only one of them will provide digital audio signal. In the
Android Audio menu you can select the SPDIF audio option to activate digital audio and disable
analogue audio.
Optionally you can use the yellow RCA as analogue low resolution video output. To enable this you
need to remove the HDMI cable and restart the receiver.
Note: Android is made for high resolution screens and will only be good to watch
and to use on the HDMI output. The yellow RCA video output connector
only supports low quality video.
3.5 Connection of a wireless mouse or key board*
Fig. 10
For optimal usage of the Android part we recommend using also a mouse or wireless mouse for
maximum freedom, besides the remote control. This enables tracking and dropping of functions, just
as you can do on mobile phones.
8
PART 1

Switch the main power Off and insert a mouse or wireless mouse dongle into one of the free USB slots.
Switch the main power back On. The device will be automatically recognised and you can start using it.
In the same way you can use a keyboard.* It will make typing of information (web addresses,
searching) much more convenient.
*Not included in the packaging.
3.6 Connection of a USB web camera*
Fig. 10
If you like to take pictures or talk to other people and watch with video conference apps as SkypeTM,
you can connect a USB web camera with an in-built microphone to your Android receiver.
Download and install the latest new video app from the Store first. Then switch the main power Off
and insert the USB webcam connector into one of the free USB slots. Switch the main power back On.
The webcam will be automatically recognised and you can start using it.
*Not included in the packaging.
Note: Please check on our web site www.strong.tv for the supported webcam
models.
If you like to change the login name, camera model or if you don’t get the webcam running, enter
“Settings – Apps – Skype -- Clear data” first and then login to SkypeTM to test a video call and if the
new login works.
