WorldGate Wireless keyboard User manual

WorldGate Users’ Manual - www.geus.org
(printable version)
Now you can send and receive e-mail or surf the Internet without a computer!
Your WorldGate wireless keyboard allows you access to the Internet through interactive TV. WorldGate also
allows you to find information about your local community and to open websites related to the programs and
ads you’re viewing - while you watch.
Note: Throughout this manual, buttons on the WorldGate keyboard are shown in bold type: Select. On-screen
buttons are indicated by quotation marks: “Continue”.
The Keyboard
Take a few minutes to look over your WorldGate keyboard. In addition to the keys that correspond to familiar
typewriter or computer keyboard keys, there are a number of buttons and indicators that deal only with
WorldGate functions.
(Some of the keys also make it possible to operate your cable TV service directly from the keyboard without
switching to the remote control. You may want to experiment with these functions on your own. This manual
will cover only the use of the keyboard for WorldGate access.)
Note: Your keyboard uses three AA alkaline batteries. The battery compartment is on the back of the keyboard.
If the keyboard stops working, you may need to install new batteries.
•Open the battery compartment cover by pushing in and lifting up the small tab on the battery cover.
•Remove the old batteries.
•Install new batteries – be sure to match the + and – symbols on the batteries with the symbols inside the
battery compartment.
•To replace the battery cover insert the two tabs into the slots on the case and gently press the cover into
place.
Using the Keyboard
To use your wireless keyboard:
•The TV and cable box must be turned on to access WorldGate.
•Make sure the keyboard is within 16 feet of the TV and cable box.
•Keep a direct “line of sight” open between the keyboard and the TV and cable box (no furniture or
people between the keyboard and TV).
•Replace the batteries when the “low batt” indicator on the upper left of the keyboard is lit.
•Familiarize yourself with the keyboard. You may want to keep the diagram in front of you while you are
learning to use WorldGate.
Note: If your keyboard wasn’t programmed to recognize your TV when your WorldGate service was installed
or if you get a new TV, you may need to program the keyboard (see Programming The Keyboard on page 18) to
recognize your television. (If your TV stops responding to the keyboard and installing new batteries doesn’t
solve the problem, you may have changed the programmed codes by mistake. You can restore the codes by
reprogramming the keyboard. (see page 18).

Troubleshooting
For more solutions, go to the online FAQ section. Click “Setup/Help” on the Navigation Bar.
The Back button on the tool bar doesn’t take you to the previous WorldGate screen:
Select Home, then select the page you want.
You can’t access other web sites from the page you are viewing:
1. If you reached the page via Channel Hyperlinking from the TV, you won’t be able to navigate to other
sites. Connect to WorldGate by clicking WG/TV on the keyboard.
2. If you are connected to WorldGate, select Go on the tool bar across the top of the screen. Enter the web
address (URL) of the page you want to visit.
When you type in an entry box or an e-mail message, the information is garbled:
You are probably typing too fast for WorldGate to keep up!!! Try entering the information more slowly.
When you click in a page or try to perform an action, nothing happens:
The signal from the keyboard to the cable box may be blocked. Make sure you are within 16 feet of the TV and
cable box and that nothing is in the way.
Note: Some web pages load slowly. Check for the progress bar in the upper left corner to determine if a page is
loading.
You get a “Sorry, try again later” message when trying to connect to WorldGate.
Wait until the cable channel you were watching comes back on. Then press the WG/TV button on the keyboard.
If you can’t connect after several tries, contact Customer Service at 903-457-2800 during regular office hours.
Your account name doesn’t appear on log in.
If you are the primary user, exit WorldGate then connect again by pressing the WG/TV button on the
keyboard. If your name still doesn’t display, call Customer Service at 903-457-2800 during regular office hours.
The primary user can create accounts (see “To add new user names” on page 15) for other users.

Programming the Keyboard
If your keyboard wasn’t programmed at the time of installation or if you want to use a different TV set for your
WorldGate service, you will need to program the keyboard to recognize your TV.
To program the TV:
1. Find the code number for your TV in the TV Code List below. If more than one code is listed for your
TV, use the code listed first.
2. On your WorldGate keyboard, press and hold the left Alt key, the Select key, and the TV Power key at
the same time. Hold these keys for at least 3 seconds, until the Low Batt light blinks twice.
3. Using the number keys on the keyboard (the top row of “typewriter” keys), enter the three-digit
television code number for your TV set
4. Press Enter. If you have entered a valid code, the Low Batt light will blink twice. (If the light doesn’t
blink, repeat steps 2 - 4, making sure you enter the correct code numbers.)
5. Aim the keyboard at the TV and press the TV Power key. If the TV comes on, you have programmed
the keyboard correctly. If the TV doesn’t respond, try using the remaining codes listed for your TV and
repeat steps 2 - 4, trying each code listed for your TV until you find the one that operates it. If your TV
still doesn’t work with the keyboard, try searching for the proper code. (see To search for a TV code
below)
6. When you have successfully programmed the keyboard for your TV, write down the correct code for
future reference.
Note: If you press the TV Power, CH +, or CH – keys by mistake in step 3 instead of pressing a number
key, the keyboard enters the code search mode. Begin again with step 2.
To search for a TV code:
1. Turn off the TV.
2. On the WorldGate keyboard, press the left Alt key, the Select key, and the TV Power key all at the
same time.
3. Hold the keys for at least 3 seconds, until the LED indicator blinks twice.
4. Turn on the TV manually, using the controls on the TV (do not use the remote).
5. Aim the keyboard at the TV. Press and hold TV Power until the TV turns off. The keyboard will search
all available codes to find one that works with your TV – this could take more than a minute.
6. Immediately after the TV turns off, release the TV Power key. Slowly press the CH- key a few times
(do not hold) until the TV turns on.
7. Press Enter to store the TV code.
8. Verify the code by aiming the keyboard at the TV and pressing Power.
9. If the TV does not respond, repeat steps 1-8.
