Page 3
Connect Up
• Connect the coaxial TV aerial cable from your aerial wall socket to your T2•R.
• Next, connect the T2•R to your TV using the HDMI cable provided.
• If you want to view Freeview’s free and premium streaming channels and receive software
updates over the internet, connect the T2•R to your internet router using an Ethernet cable.
• Finally, plug the AC power adapter into a wall socket that is turned o, then connect the
other end to the T2•R.
If you want to use your TV’s tuner, connect the Loop Out connector to the Aerial input of your TV.
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI input, the T2•R has an analogue AV output that you should be
able to connect to your TV using the Manhattan AV Kit (not included). See the included leaflet or
contact us for more details.
Switch On
• Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote by sliding the cover.
Insert the batteries, matching the + and – symbols to what is marked on the inside of
the compartment. Replace the cover.
• Turn on the wall socket you connected the Manhattan T2•R to and it will switch on.
• Turn on your TV set and choose the HDMI input you connected your Manhattan T2•R
to. Most TV remotes use a button labelled ‘AV’, ‘SOURCE’, ‘INPUT’ or , with each
press cycling through the TV’s inputs.
Your Manhattan remote can be easily programmed to control your TV’s input, adjust its volume
and turn it on and off. See page 13 for details.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your T2•R. It takes about 5 minutes, which is
the perfect amount of time to read the rest of this Guide!

SETTINGS
View and change your T2•R’s settings by pressing MENU and selecting ‘Settings’. Please
be aware of the following Settings that can cause your T2•R to turn on or o automatically:
Reminder AutoTune
Reminders are displayed just before a programme is scheduled to start. The T2•R has an
option in the Tuning section of Settings called ‘Reminder AutoTune’ that is turned o by
default, meaning:
• A reminder will only be displayed if the T2•R is on
• You must choose to watch the programme before the reminder times out to change the
channel
• If you don’t, the reminder will be cancelled and the channel will not change
When ‘Reminder AutoTune’ is turned on:
• If the T2•R is in standby it will turn on for the reminder and the channel will change
automatically
• If the T2•R is turned on the reminder will be displayed as normal and at the end of the
30 seconds the channel will change automatically
Auto Standby
The T2•R will go into standby automatically if no buttons are pressed for 3 hours. The
length of Auto Standby can be changed or it can be disabled altogether in the System
section of Settings.
ENERGY SAVING
To meet EU energy consumption requirements, the T2•R is initially set up so that:
• The Loop Out socket on the rear of the T2•R is unpowered in standby. If you connect an
aerial cable from the socket to your TV’s aerial input and want it to work when the T2•R
is in standby, turn on ‘Loop Out in Standby’ in the System section of Settings. Please
note that power consumption will be increased.
• Auto Standby is enabled (see above).
