Exploring the Internet on WebTV	Connecting to WebTV screen

This chapter explains how to access various pages on the Internet from the WebTV Home Page. Because the Internet is constantly changing, the Home Page will also occa- sionally change. When you see new icons, explore! WebTV will provide help for using new icons through the INSTRUCTIONS icon.

To connect to the Home Page

1

Turn on your television.

2

Press the POWER button on the remote to turn on the Internet Terminal. The

Connecting to WebTV screen will appear.

3

In one to two minutes, the WebTV Home Page will appear.

If the Internet Terminal is having trouble connecting to WebTV, you may see a mes- sage on-screen. Follow the on-screen directions carefully. If you need to check your Dialing Options, see page 31 for more details.

To Activate a Home Page Icon

1

Highlight an icon on the Home Page using the Arrow buttons on the remote control.

2

Press the GO button on the remote.

◆ If you take your Internet Terminal to a new location, for example, to show it

to a friend, you may see the message: “Your Internet Terminal was unplugged

or the electricity went out. If you are at a different phone number now, choose

New Number. Otherwise, choose Same.”

NOTES If you are at the same phone number, highlight Same and press the GO but- ton. If you are at a different phone number, highlight New Number and press the GO but- ton. Follow the instructions on-screen.

◆If more than one user is registered for your unit, you must enter your user name and password. Then, the Home Page will appear. The Mail, Favorites and Options will be set for the designated user. See Setup on page 30 for details.
