Getting the Settings Right

Selecting Your Location

Next, you will be prompted to indicate what region you live in.

Attention! The location you select in this screen affects applications like the Electronic Programming Guide, the remote control codes database and the questions asked during setup.

1Select either North America or Europe. The RC9800i will automatically restart to configure the location settings and will then

display the following welcome screen.

2Choose Next to start the setup process.

Network Settings

Tip Make sure that you have your Wireless Access Point (WAP) settings information at hand. You will need this information in the following screens.

If you’re unfamiliar with network terminology, consult the ‘Glossary’ on page 60.

Attention! Most wireless devices can also operate in peer-to-peer mode. This means that there is a direct wireless communication link between two communicating devices without intervention of a Wireless Access Point. If you have set up devices in peer-to-peer mode, we strongly recommend that you make your wireless home network operate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and that you disable all peer-to-peer links.

1Indicate whether you use the RC9800i with a wireless network or not.

■If not, choose No and click Next. The screen ‘Date & Time Settings’ will appear. In this case proceed with the setup on page 17.

Tip In the event that you have a wireless network set up in your home, choose Yes, even if you do not use the RC9800i to control other networked devices. This way, if you want, the RC9800i can retrieve date and time information from dedicated time servers on the Internet, see ‘Date & Time Settings’ beginning on page 17.

■If you do use the RC9800i with a wireless network, choose Yes and click Next.

A screen with the current network connection status will appear.

2Indicate whether you want to continue using the current network connection status or not.

■If so, choose Next.

The screen ‘Date & Time Settings’ will appear. In this case proceed with the setup on page 17.

■If you want to connect to another network or alter the network settings, choose Change.

The screen ‘RC9800i Network Settings’ will appear.
