Text Entry Via the FireBall-MP Remote Control
The remote control can be used to enter text in all text elds. This text entry capability is provided to allow you to ll out short text elds – such as those that occur in the setup and edit screens. FireBall-MP’s IR keyboard should be used when extended typing is required.
Entering Numeric Entry Mode
In elds where FireBall-MP expects only numeric characters to be entered (such as phone number elds), an indicator will appear on the screen that displays the letters “123” indicating that only numbers can be entered.
Typing Characters with the Remote
The remote control based text entry capability is similar to that provided on standard telephones and cell phones. Each numeric key has characters associated with it that can be accessed by pressing the key one or more times. You have .5 seconds after a key is pressed to enter a second character from the same key. If you press the same key within .5 seconds, the second character associated with that key replaces the initial character. If you do not press the same key within .5 seconds, the text cursor moves to the next location so that the same key can be pressed again to enter a second character.

Text entry is always in the Insert Mode rather than in Overtype mode.

The “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, and “8” keys each support three letters and one number and can be pressed from one to seven times to display upper case, lower case, and numeric characters. The “7” and “9” keys both support four letters and one number and can be pressed from one to nine times. The “1” and “0” keys support all of the special characters and will cycle through each character for every key press.
The text characters follow the same convention used by a standard telephone – except in the case of the “1” and “0” keys which contain additional characters that are useful for editing music information.
When entering characters at the beginning of a eld or characters that follow a space, FireBall-MP assumes that upper case characters are preferred. Therefore, characters are entered in the following cycle – uppercase, lowercase, and numeric. For example, the rst key press enters an uppercase letter corresponding to the rst letter associated with the key. Pressing the “2” key once displays an “A” in the text eld, pressing the “2” key twice displays a “B”, pressing it again will display a “C”. The fourth key press displays a lower case “a”, the fth key press displays a lower case “b”, and the sixth key press displays a lower case “c”. Lastly, pressing the “2” key a seventh time displays the number “2”.
When entering the second character in a text eld or the second character following a space, FireBall-MP assumes that lower case is preferred and the character entry cycles in the following pattern – lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.

What Is The Setup Process?
Setting up a FireBall-MP is very easy once the FireBall Server is connected to an ethernet network and properly congured.
Upon power on, FireBall-MP will try to automatically locate and connect to a FireBall server. Please refer to your FireBall’s User’s Guide for instructions on properly connecting the FireBall Server to an Ethernet network.
If a FireBall server is not located, the FireBall-MP will continue to scan the network until a server is found. You should check your FireBall server’s power status and Ethernet connetion. The FireBall-MP and FireBall Server must be on the same Ethernet network.
Note: FireBall-MP can only connect to one FireBall Server at a time.

Important Note for Playing iRadio Stations
In order for your FireBall-MP to play Internet Radio stations, it must be connected to an Ethernet network which is routed to the Internet. Broadband Internet connections (DSL, Cable Modem, ISDN, T1, etc...) using an Internet “router”or “gateway”will provide the best iRadio sound quality and user experience.
If your FireBall server is connecting to the Internet using it's built-in modem on a dialup ISP account, you will NOT be able to use the iRadio feature. This is due to the fact that the FireBall server is not a “router”and can not transfer iRadio streams to FireBall-MP clients.
Please refer to the Home Networking Chapters in this manual for more information on properly conguring your Ethernet network.

music information, deleting music, and looking up music information.
• Adjusting player controls - play modes (random, repeat, etc.)
Use the SETUP Menu to change:
• network settings
• preferences
• video
• com ports
