Technical Review Draft
NevoSL Quick Start Guide
1/10/2005
Behind this cover letter is the Technical Review Draft. Please review
this preview document carefully, paying attention to the following
things:
• The technical correctness of the information presented
• The completeness of the information presented
• The accuracy and applicability of the screen captures and graphics
(e.g., are they the most recent versions, do they show appropriate
data, etc.)
• The market positioning (e.g., have we identified the motivators for
users to operate the product, does the document support your
market drive and positioning)
• Any questions we’ve embedded in the document (questions are
called out in red, underlined text)
Do not worry about writing inaccuracies or awkward phrasing. While
you are free to point them out, be aware that we have not reviewed
this document for grace or style yet. Because this draft is intended to
focus your attention on the technical details, and in order to deliver it
to you as quickly as possible, we have focused on covering the
information to the best of our understanding. We intend to perform a
developmental edit on the draft while you are performing a technical
review.
Please use a different color ink than black. Small edits are
extremely difficult to see – if we can’t see them, we can’t make
them. If you must use a black pen, please circle all edits
(especially small ones).

This draft contains the following known issues. Please initial next to
each one to indicate that you have read it.
• All cross references refer to page numbers, even if the referred
area is on the same page. Since pagination is not yet final, we
must do this to ensure that the final cross references are correct.
We will address this issue in the Final Review draft.
• My emulator’s configuration screens appear to be inactive. I need
several of these screens for the document; I have called out which
ones.
• There’s some new line art required; please look for those requests.
Let me know if I need to contact my artist to supply them.
• The pagination is approximate at this point; the new graphics will
change the pagination considerably, so do not worry about
excessive white space or odd page breaks; those will be addressed
in the next draft.

Welcome to Nevo
Welcome to Nevo

SL
NevoSL is a universal controller that intuitively delivers complete audiovisual and digital media control for your networked home. It features
infrared signalling for audio-visual control, WiFi (802.11b) signalling for
digital media control, and an optional NevoLink for multi-room control.
In additional to controlling your home theater devices, NevoSL
TM
incorporates Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
, which will automatically
discover new digital media content and devices.
NevoSL can be completely customized to match your home theater system.
SL
If your installer has set Nevo
up for you, it is already configured to
control your system. If not, use the intuitive Nevo Studio to configure
SL
Nevo
with your own background art and home theater devices.
NevoMedia Manager makes it easy for you to connect, control, and
interact with digital media in your networked home. Designed for
Windows XP
TM
, it also uses UPnPTM standards and compatible media
adapters.
Together, these elements deliver seamless, customized control of your
SL
home theater and networked digital media. Welcome to Nevo
, a new
evolution in home control.

Getting to Know Nevo
Once you unpack NevoSL:
1. Set up the docking station and connect it to a wall outlet.
Tip: Consider placing the docking station near your home theater
SL
equipment; even when Nevo
is docked you can use it to control your
home theater system.
2. Dock the NevoSL and begin charging the battery. It will take [period of
time] to charge the battery for the first time.
SL
Getting to Know Nevo
SL
NevoSL provides fully-customizable control of your home theater devices
and digital media.
Its touch-sensitive screen is software-based, so you or your installer can
include only those controls you actually use. For more information on
SL
customizing Nevo
, see Nevo Studio User’s Guide.
NevoSL’s MediaManager is incorporated into its touchscreen, as well as
being available for installation on your Windows XP
TM
PC. For more
information on MediaManager, see Nevo MediaManager User’s Guide.
The Nevo remote contains the following types of controls:
• customizable hard buttons on the remote’s front that let you control
common device features (see “Hard Buttons” on page 3
• fully-interactive touchscreen that provides only those device control you
use the most (see “Touch Screen” on page 5).
Hard Buttons
Do we want to tell them about the hard reboot (the on/off switch behind
the little cover here or in “If You Have Problems”?)
NevoSL includes several hard buttons on the front and sides. Some are
customizable and some are not.

The hard buttons on NevoSL’s front can be customized to your preference.
For example, you or your installer may have configured them to always
control your cable converter’s functions. These buttons are labeled for
convenience. The labeled buttons will always perform the same action on
the same device, regardless of which set of controls appears on the
touchscreen.
An additional set of programmable, unlabeled buttons appear immediately
below the touchscreen, above the hard buttons. These buttons’ functions
change from screen to screen—a label appears on the touch screen above
them to indicate what they have been programmed to do.
Fixed Buttons and Ports

can perform using Nevo. It will note that the unit is customized; some of
the things discussed here may function slightly differently, depending on
how Mike has set things up.

Recharging Nevo
SL
NevoSL includes a long-lasting rechargeable battery. [Something will
happen] when the batteries in your NevoSL are running low. When [it
happens], you must dock your Nevo
SL

the docking station
Changing the Battery
Will they ever need to change the battery? Should they do it, or should
they get their installer to do it? If they should do it, I will need three
images: opening the battery cover, the battery cover off with no battery
inside, closing the battery cover.
Battery Use And Safety
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
• Do not burn or bury batteries.
NevoSL QUick Start Guide 7
Setting NevoSL Up
• Use only new batteries of the required size.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (e.g.,
standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the remote control for an extended period, remove
the batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
About Battery Life
As with all battery-operated devices, battery life will vary depending on
SL
use, including frequency and duration of key presses on the Nevo
screen.
Battery life may be extended by performing some or all of the following:
• Reducing the brightness level of the display screen (see “Changing
Backlight Settings” on page 12).
• Reducing the on time of the display screen (see “Changing Power Settings”
on page 9).
Setting NevoSL Up
