STEP 2: Check your STB location

The STB must have good ventilation, free of obstruction;
don’t block vents

The STB must be plugged in to a power source that is on
all the time

You must be able to see the front of the STB from your
viewing location
•
Never place anything on top of the STB, especially other
home video components
STEP 3: Connect cables to STB
Depending on your TV or display and the type of
FiOS TV STB, skip to the step (3a or 3b) that best matches
your equipment setup.
CAUTION:
Power cable should
NOT
be plugged
into wall outlet yet.
3a.
Standard Definition (STB) (2500 Series) &
Standard Definition DVR 2708 Series
Tip: This is the simplest method to connect the 2500 series STB.
a. Connect the coax cable from the coax wall outlet to
the “RF IN” on the back of the STB.
b. Connect a coax cable jumper from the “To TV/VCR”
output of the STB to the “Antenna,” “Cable” or “U/V”
input on the back of your TV. [NOTE: If you have a
2708 series STB, you will not have a coax connection,
you will need to use composite or S-Video cables to
connect your STB to your TV]
c. Plug the STB into the power outlet, wait 10 seconds
and then press the power button on the front of your
STB; the display should light.
d. Turn on your TV; tune it to channel 3.
