1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Android IP Box from STRONG. It has been produced with the latest new
technology and offers extensive entertainment and great versatility. We wish you many hours of new
great experiences exploring the Android world and watching IPTV in High Definition quality!
1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR IP BOX:
In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a
surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE IP BOX OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture; to
intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your IP Box or to
any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not touch a
power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
When the IP Box is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power cord from
the wall socket.
Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the IP Box. If you wish, you may clean
your IP Box with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution, and only
after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through
the ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an electric shock.
Do not place any objects on top of the IP Box because this might prevent proper cooling of the
components inside.
Safety Precautions
Never try to open the IP Box. Opening the IP Box will void the warranty of the product. Refer all
maintenance or servicing to suitably qualified personnel.
When you are connecting cables, be sure that the IP Box is disconnected from the mains
supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the IP Box before you move the IP Box or
disconnect any equipment.
It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and compatible wiring that is suitable
for the electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that the
electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identification plate at the
back of the IP Box.
If the IP Box does not operate normally even after strictly following the instructions in this user
manual, it is recommended to consult your dealer.

2.6 Installing the batteries
Fig. 5
Open the cover on the remote control and insert 2x AAA batteries into the compartment.
The correct position of batteries polar diagram is shown inside the batteries compartment.
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.
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.
6

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 IP Box. 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
3.1 Basic connection
Fig. 7
a. 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.
b. Connect the LAN cable from your router/Internet connection into the RJ45 LAN input.
c. Plug in the power plug from the 12 V adapter and insert the adapter into a suitable wall outlet.
3.2 Connecting to the Internet
Fig. 7
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 IP Box and the router when using wireless connection. This
will lead to lower quality of video streams from the Internet.
3.3 Connecting to an Audio Amplier
Fig. 7
Use the optical S/PDIF output to connect your IP Box to the digital input of your Hi-Fi system or audio
amplifier. In the Android Audio menu you can select the Digital audio option to activate Dolby digital
audio by selection RAW or disable and select PCM for down mix to stereo audio.

English

3.4 Connection of a wireless mouse or key board*
Fig. 8
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.
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.
3.5 Connection of a USB web camera*
Fig. 8
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 IP Box.
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.
