Connecting Your System
Read this chapter while setting up your Internet Terminal for the first time.
Overview
Before you can connect to WebTV, you must connect your Internet Terminal
to each of the following:
□ Your TV (either directly or through your VCR)
□ A telephone line
□ An AC power outlet
The type of connection you choose depends on whether your TV:
¡fyou use an answering sewicc or voice
message service, you must listen to all
your messages before you can connect to
the WebTV Network.
□ Has S-VIDEO, RCA-type A/V (audio/video), or RF coaxial jacks.
□ Is connected to a VCR.
An S-VIDEO connection provides the best picture quality of all the
connection options.
For optimum audio performance, consider integrating the Internet Terminal
into your home entertainment system.
Telephone Line Connection Options
.If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a telephone jack that isn't
connected to a telephone. If you have only one telephone jack, use the
T Splitter to share the line. This will enable you to keep both the Internet
Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the same time. The T Splitter
must be plugged into the wall jack to operate properly.
If you don't ha\'e Call Waiting, a person trying to call you while you're
connected to WebTV gets a busy signal.
If you have Call Waiting and you want your Internet Terminal to temporarily
disconnect from the WebTV Network when you receive a call, see "Select
dialing options" on page 23. This setting will allow your telephone to ring so
you can take the call the way you normally do. When you're finished with the
call, push the button on the remote to reconnect to the WebTV Network.
You will be reconnected to the page you were visiting when the call came in.
You may find you don't want to be interrupted when you are on the Internet.
WebTV makes it easy for you to temporarily turn off Call Waiting while
you're connected. For information on disabling Call Waiting, or on
disconnecting from the WebTV Network to make a telephone call, see SETUP
on page 22.
If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you might consider using
a separate, or dedicated, telephone line for WebTV Network. Contact your
local telephone company to order a separate telephone line.

Important Safeguards
On Safety
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, detach and keep this section for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautiorrs
and instructions placed on the Internet Terminal, or as
described in this operating instructions, service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and
servicing of the Internet Terminal.
On Power Sources
lise
□ This Internet Terminal should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company. For those Internet Terminals designed to
operate from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
□ This Internet Terminal is equipped with a polarized AC
power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with the three-wire grounding type plug (a plug
ha\'ing a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions
below;
For the Internet Terminal with a polarized AC power cord
plug
□ This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safet)' feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it into the outlet.
Alternate warning
For the Internet Terminal with a three wire grounding
type AC plug
□ This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a
sutiable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding plug.
Overloading
□ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this
can result in fire or electrical shock. Always turn the
Internet Terminal off when it is not to be used. When the
Internet Terminal is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a
precaution against the possibility of an internal
malfuntion that could create a fire hazard.
Object and Liquid Entry
J Never push objects of any kind into the Internet Terminal
through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
Internet Terminal.
Attachments
□ Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
On Cleaning
□ Unplug the Internet Terminal from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water
for cleaning the exterior of the Internet Terminal.

On Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
□ If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below.
□ An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded-so as to provided
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canandian Electrical Code in
Canada provided information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
