About the iPronto
Wirelessly connected to the Internet, the iPronto is a must-have for your home entertainment experience. With its
dashboard you can easily access all iPronto’s applications. The dashboard offers access to three basic applications:
the remote control, the Electronic Program Guide and the Browser, however, you can add new applications to the
dashboard.
With iPronto’s universal remote control you can operate almost all your devices, as long as they understand
IR (infrared) signals. And because of its intuitive interface, iPronto is easy to use for everybody.
But iPronto is not only a remote control: it also has an Electronic Program Guide. Without any effort you always
have an up-to-date and customizable Program Guide for your favorite channels. What makes this Electronic Program
Guide so unique is its direct interaction with the iPronto’s remote control. No more wading through pages of program
guides.
Get the information you want fast and start watching your programs immediately by tapping one single button. You are
watching TV and would like to see sports shows? Using the EPG, you only need one button press to surf through the
channels that are broadcasting sports at this particular moment.
The iPronto is also provided with easy Internet browsing functionality. With the browser application it is now
possible to connect to the Internet while you sit back and relax in front of your TV.

Installing the Wireless LAN Adapter
In a wireless network, the Wireless Access Point (WAP) is the last point that is connected to your network with wires.
To communicate with your iPronto, the WAP sends out RF (radio frequency) signals, which spread in all directions. The
iPronto’s Wireless LAN Adapter (also called PCMCIA card) receives these RF signals and sends RF signals back to the
WAP.
The first thing you do when you take your iPronto out of the box, is installing this Wireless LAN Adapter. In the
following illustrations you see how the installation works:
1 Open the Wireless LAN Adapter cover by pushing in the grips and sliding off the cover in the direction
indicated below (figure 1).
2 Insert the Wireless LAN Adapter in the socket, as indicated below (figure 2).

Note Do not install any other adapter. Do not remove the Wireless LAN Adapter when the iPronto is activated. After the Wireless
LAN Adapter is installed, there is no need to remove it. It can permanently be left inside the iPronto.

Installing and Recharging the Battery
Recharging
The iPronto is provided with a power adapter to recharge the battery. When the battery is low, it takes about two hours
to recharge. After three hours, recharging is automatically stopped. On first usage, it is advisable to recharge the
battery for the full three hours. The iPronto can be used when it is recharging.
In order to keep the battery in the best condition, it is best to recharge it frequently. It is advised to recharge before the
battery is empty, otherwise you might lose some of your settings. In normal use, recharge every 2 days. When you use
the iPronto very frequently, recharge every day. In this illustration you see how to plug in the power adapter:
The first time you put the battery in the iPronto, the iPronto
will start up automatically and guide you to the System
Settings. This may take 1 to 2 minutes. Continue with the
next chapter, Getting the iPronto Up and Running, to adjust
the settings.
