Dictation
Whenever you see an onscreen keyboard—such as when searching in a third party app or when entering a user name or password—you can speak the text instead of using the onscreen keyboard.
Note: Dictation may not be available in all areas.
Speak instead of typing. With a text entry field highlighted onscreen, press and hold
the Siri button and speak whatever you want to enter in the text field.
Speak user names and passwords. If a text field tells you to spell out characters instead of speaking words, press and hold the Siri button , then speak the letters, numbers, and symbols you want to enter.
Say “uppercase” to enter an uppercase letter.
Siri recognizes many domain names such as icloud.com, so they donʼt need to be spelled out.
You can use ph one tic or military alp hab et pron unc iat ion s, such as alpha, bravo, charlie, delta for A, B, C, D, and so on.
You can use th e s pec ial command “Clear” to delete the characters you just entered.
Clear applies only to characters spoken during the current Siri entry. For example, if you say “A, B, C,” then release the Siri button, then press it again and say “1, 2, 3, clear,” the numbers will be deleted but the letters will remain.
Note: Dictation sends information, such as voice input and location, to Apple to process requests. Voice input from spelling dictation of user names and passwords isnʼt sent.
Turn dictation on or off. In Settings , go to General > Dictation.

Watch Now
Watch Now includes TV shows and movies you have access to from free services, services youʼve subscribed to, and your iTunes purchases and rentals.
See whatʼs up next. Navigate to Up Next to quickly access the TV shows and movies youʼre currently watching, including new rentals and purchases from iTunes. Shows and movies appear in the order youʼre most likely to want to watch them in. For example, when a showʼs episode is finished, the next one automatically appears in Up Next. And if youʼve already caught up on a show, whenever a new episode becomes available, it immediately shows up in the beginning of Up Next.
If you have an iPad or iPhone and are signed in with the same iTunes account, your viewing progress and episode selection are also kept in sync in the TV app on those devices. You can start watching a show on your Apple TV and then finish watching it on iPad, or vice-versa.
Remove an item from Up Next. Highlight an item, then press and hold the Touch surface and select “Remove from Up Next.”
Browse content. Explore a great selection of curated TV shows and movies–including collections hand-picked by experts as well as dedicated categories such as kids. To see more options, select a category or genre.
Start watching a show or movie. Highlight a movie or TV show, then press the Touch surface to start playing it.
When you ask Siri to play a TV show, Apple TV automatically starts the next episode you havenʼt seen, whether itʼs the middle of season 1, or last nightʼs episode.
Ask Siri. “Play Game of Thrones”

Switch Control
Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control Apple TV using an attached Bluetooth device as a switch. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, dragging, and typing. You use a switc h to selec t an item on th e s cree n, and then use the sa me (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. The basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (press or drag).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adj ust th e behavior of Swi tch Contro l in a var iet y of ways , t o suit your sp eci fic needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
To connec t a switch to Apple TV, you can connect a n exte rnal Bluetoo th device suc h as a keyboard, or you can use the platform switching feature that forwards switch actions from another device such as an iPhone or a Mac. On an iOS device, tap the screen to trigger the switch. (On iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus or later, press the screen.)
Add a switch and choose its action. In Settings , go to General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, itʼs your Select Item switch by default.
If youʼre adding an external switch, you need to connect it to Apple TV before it will appear in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with Apple TV. For more information, see .

Basic techniques
Here are some basic techniques for Switch Control.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch youʼve set up as your Select Item switch. If youʼre using a single switch, itʼs your Select Item switch by default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you configure press behavior. In Settings , go to General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Press Behavior and choose an option.
With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Press button and the More button (two dots at the bottom). If youʼre in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll bar also appears. To press the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Press is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for pressing.
With Auto Press on: To press the item, do nothing—t he item is automatically tapped when the Auto Press interval expires (0.75 seconds if you havenʼt changed it). To see the control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Press interval expires. The control menu skips the Press button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
With Always Press on: Press to select the highlighted item rather than display the control menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then press a button to display the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Press off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Press button) in the control menu. Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
With Auto Press on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you might have to choose More first.
Press the Home button. Choose Home from the control menu.
Control media playback. When media is playing on Apple TV, a control menu automatically appears with playback controls.
Apple Confidential
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Press while the original item is highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify in Settings , at General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
Click the multitasking menu button for multitasking
Press the volume buttons
Triple-click the Menu button
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control.
You can cho ose fro m t hree sc ann ing styles—au to sca nning, manual sc ann ing , a nd single-switch step scanning.
Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the other.
Manual scanning uses one switch to highlight an item and another to activate it.
Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to item. If
you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. In Settings , go to General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose Speech On.

Operating environment Apple TV works best in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and can be stored at temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). While youʼre using Apple TV, itʼs normal for the case to get warm. The Apple TV case is designed to transfer heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Do not operate Apple TV in areas with significant amounts of airborne dust or particulate matter that might clog the ventilation openings.
Explosive atmospheres Using Apple TV in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs and instructions.
Medical conditions If you have a medical condition that you believe could be affected by using Apple TV (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using Apple TV.
Medical devices The Siri Remote contains radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, and other medical devices. Keep at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your

pacemaker or defibrillator and the Siri Remote. If you suspect the Siri Remote is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using it and consult your physician for information specific to your medical device.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on Apple TV, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop those activities and consult a physician.
Charging the Siri Remote Charge the Siri Remote with the included Lightning cable, or with other third-party “Made for iPhone” Lightning cables. Using counterfeit or damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the Siri Remote or other property. When you use a power adapter to charge the Siri Remote, make sure the Lightning cable is fully inserted into the power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the Lightning cable is plugged into a power source, because it may cause discomfort or injury. Avoid situations where your skin is in contact with the Lightning connector for a long period of time when itʼs plugged in. For example, while the Siri Remote is charging or while the Lightning cable is plugged into a power source, donʼt sit or sleep on it or place it under a blanket, pillow, or your body. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.
Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to liquids may cause discoloration. To remove the discoloration or if the cable becomes warm during use or wonʼt charge the Siri Remote, disconnect the Lightning cable from your computer or power adapter and clean it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Gaming Hold the Siri Remote securely and avoid excessive motion when playing games on Apple TV. Use the Remote Loop (sold separately) and maintain a secure grip on the Siri Remote to prevent injury, or accidental damage to the Siri Remote or other property.
