1. Off/Standby/On Modes
Your Set Top Box (STB) has three power modes:
1. Off mode: This is when the power cable is unplugged, and/or the Power On/Off Switch on the rear

2. Standby mode: This is when the power cable is plugged into a wall outlet, the Power On/Off Switch on
the rear panel is in the On position, and the user has not pressed [POWER]. In Standby mode, the
current time will be visible on the STB’s front panel display.
3. On mode: This is when the power cable is plugged into a wall outlet, the Power On/Off Switch on the
rear panel is in the On position, and the user has pressed [POWER] on either the front of the STB or the
