2.6 Using the remote control and USB adapter
Please first insert the USB adapter of the remote control in a free USB port. This USB adapter receives
the RF (radio controlled) signals from remote control. Without this adapter only the Standby button
will work via the IR sensor (infrared). The remote control has an in-built “G-sensor” which is used as
pointer on your screen in the Android mode. This is called as “Air mouse” function and allows you to
move the pointer by moving the remote control through the air.

NOTE: As this function uses more power as normal pressing of buttons we
Under normal conditions your remote control has been paired with the USB adapter in the factory
and therefore the “Air mouse” function of your remote control will directly work for your receiver.
In case you can only use the q button on the remote control and none of the other buttons have a
function, or in case the green LED on the remote control keeps blinking, it could be that the pairing
between the remote control and the USB adapter is not correct.
In that case you need to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually:
1. Remove the USB adapter from the USB slot on the receiver.
2. Make sure the receiver is switched ON.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control and insert them again. The LED on the remote
control starts flashing.
4. Press and hold the OK and
remote control flashes more quickly.
5. Insert the USB adapter into a free USB port of the receiver and wait until the LED on the remote
control stops flashing (fig. 6).
6. Now the remote control is paired with the USB adapter.
NOTE: The function of Standby on the remote control is limited or not possible
3.0 CONNECTIONS
This chapter describes the basic satellite setup with 1 dish + 1 LNB and/or terrestrial or cable
reception. For advanced dish setup, refer to section 3.2.
3.1 Basic connection
a. If you use satellite reception, connect the LNB of your satellite antenna to the SAT IN connector
of your receiver using a good quality coaxial cable and suitable ‘F-connector’ plugs.
b. If you use terrestrial or cable reception, then connect the outdoor/indoor antenna or cable wall
socket to the ANT IN connector of your receiver using a good quality coaxial cable and suitable
‘IEC-connector’ plugs.
c. Connect one end of a good quality HDMI cable to the HDMI output on your receiver and the
other end to the HDMI input of your TV.

panel of the receiver. If only the Standby button is working and there is no
reaction when pressing any other button it could be that the batteries are
empty or the USB adapter was removed or, as mentioned above, you need
to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually.

d. Connect the LAN cable from your router/Internet connection into the RJ45 LAN input.
e. Plug in the power plug from the 12 V adapter and insert the adapter into a suitable wall outlet.
3.2 Connecting multiple xed LNBs using a DiSEqC 1.0-1.1
switch and/or motor control system (DiSEqC 1.2-1.3)
a. Connect the output of your LNB's to the inputs of your DiSEqC switch or motor control system
with a high quality coaxial cable and well-shielded F connectors.
b. Connect the output of your DiSEqC switch or motor controller with the input of your Android IP
box (SAT IN) with a high quality coaxial cable and a well-shielded F connector
Please refer to the manual of your motor-drive for more detailed information.
3.3 Connecting to the Internet
a. For the best performance we advise using a wired connection to your router.
b. Alternatively, you can use the in-built wireless adapter to connect to the Internet via your
wireless router.
NOTE: Be aware that the Internet speed will be reduced by walls or long distance
between the receiver and the router when using wireless connection. This
will lead to lower quality of video streams from the Internet.

Fig. 7
3.4 Connecting to digital audio (video) amplier
Use the coaxial S/PDIF output to connect your Android receiver to the digital input of your Hi-Fi
system or audio amplifier. In the Android Digital Sounds menu you can activate this output to select
S/PDIF audio.The Digital audio option can be used to activate Dolby Digital audio by selecting RAW
data or disable and select PCM for down mix to stereo audio. If you have a digital amplifier with HDMI connector, select HDMI. This will offer the best sound up to Dolby Digital Plus!
3.5 Connection of a wireless mouse or key board*
For optimal usage of the Android part we recommend using also a mouse or wireless mouse for
maximum freedom, besides the remote control. This enables tracking and dropping of functions, just
as you can do on mobile phones.
Switch the main power Off and insert a mouse or wireless mouse dongle into one of the free USB
slots. Switch the main power back On. The device will be automatically recognised and you can start
using it.
In the same way you can use a keyboard.* It will make typing of information (web addresses,
searching) much more convenient.
* Not included in the packaging.

3.6 Connection of a USB web camera*
If you like to take pictures or talk to other people and watch with video conference apps as SkypeTM,
you can connect a USB web camera with an in-built microphone to your Android receiver.
Download and install the latest new video app from the Store first. Then switch the main power Off
and insert the USB webcam connector into one of the free USB slots. Switch the main power back On.
The webcam will be automatically recognised and you can start using it.
* Not included in the packaging.
If you like to change the login name, camera model or if you don’t get the webcam running, enter
“Settings – Apps – Skype -- Clear data” first and then login to SkypeTM to test a video call and if the
new login works.
