SmartLabs SML-272 SD User Manual - Starting The Iptv Stb
Starting the IPTV STB
When you switch on IPTV STB for the first 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 finish-
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 Specification).
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
fix 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.
