Prepare for Use

Check Package Contents

Remove the smart remote from the package. Make sure you have these
components:

• ESPN The Ultimate Remote

• Charging cradle

• Power adaptor

• Quick Start guide

Charge the Battery

1. Plug the cable from the charger cradle into an

outlet. A surge protector is recommended.

2. Place the remote in the cradle. Allow at least

4 hours for the remote to charge the first time.

Note: While the remote is charging, become familiar

with your new smart remote. See The Smart
Remote Tour in this chapter. Then gather the
information you will need to set up the smart
remote. See Chapter 2.

3.

use or when it needs to be recharged.

ESPN THE ULTIMATE REMOTE User’s Guide 3

Chapter 1 | Smart Remote Tour Prepare for Use

Low Battery Warning

When the battery needs to be recharged, you will hear a warning
beep and a flashing Battery Low icon will display at the top of the
screen under the device indicator icon.

To recharge the battery:

• Place the smart remote in the cradle, or

• Plug the power supply directly into the smart remote.

It is a good practice to place the smart remote in the cradle when not in use.

Sleep Mode

After a few minutes of non-use, the smart remote display will dim and go
dark to conserve the battery. Press the Backlight/Wake Up Remote button,
located on the right side of the smart remote, to remove the smart remote
from sleep mode.

Reset the Smart Remote

If the smart remote does not work, the battery may not have a sufficient
charge. Place the smart remote in the charging cradle or connect the power
charger directly. Allow time for the battery to recharge.

If the smart remote does not work after charging the battery, reset it by
pressing the Power and Stop keys at the same time. If this does not solve
the problem, try removing and re-inserting the battery.

Warning!

Removing/re-installing the battery is a delicate operation. Take
care not to damage the battery connector.

method.

Note: See Chapter 1 for instructions on how to use the multitap text

input method.

Chapter 5 | Internet Applications Messaging

Add Text to the Dictionary

Each time you use the predictive text method, the smart remote trains itself
to recognize new words that you type and adds them to the dictionary. This
includes made up words, shorthand text, and proper nouns. In addition,
each time you use a word, it moves to the top of the list of possible matches
for the key sequence.

Experiment with both text entry methods to determine which one you prefer,
then set it as the default method. You can switch between the settings at
any time.

Predictive Text Typing Rules

Follow these typing rules when using predictive text:

• Tap the corresponding key on the alphanumeric keypad only
once for each letter in the word. For example, to enter the
word “games”, tap 4 2 6 3 7. Games should appear in your
message.

• If the wrong word appears, press the

INPUT^ key to scroll

through all of the matching words. For example, to enter the
word “the”, tap 8 4 3. If the word “tie” displays, press the

INPUT^ key until it changes to “the”.

• If the word is not in the dictionary, press and hold the

INPUT^ key to display a popup. Use the multitap method to

type the word, then press the OK soft key to put this word in
your message and add it to the dictionary.

• Tap 0 for a space or 1 for a period.
