Setting Up Your DKEC

Before you turn on your DKEC, you will need to install the batteries in the remote and keyboard and set up the connections to support the many features of the DKEC. These connections may include:

Your television cable or antenna

Any additional video sources (such as a camera and/or satellite cable)

The included FM Radio antenna

A PCMCIA Network card and an Ethernet cable or phone line.

The final thing you should do is plug in the power cord before turning on the device.

Installing the Batteries

The remote requires two AAA batteries (supplied), and the keyboard requires two

AAbatteries (supplied). Alkaline batteries are recommended.

To install the batteries for your remote:

1.On the back of the remote, remove the battery cover by loosening the small screw in the center of the panel Keep the attached washer with the screw.

2.Install two AAA batteries, ensuring that the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries matches the + and – markings in the battery compartment.

3.Reattach the battery cover, making sure that the cover is seated.

4.Insert the screw, with the washer still attached, and tighten the screw until it is snug.

Caution:

Do not overtighten the screw. You may damage the washer and the remote will no longer be washable.

Remote Battery Installation

To install the batteries for your keyboard:

1.On the back of the keyboard, remove the battery cover by loosening both large screws on either end of the battery panel. Keep the attached washers with each screw.

2.Remove the rubber gasket.

3.Install two AA batteries, ensuring that the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries matches the + and – markings in the battery compartment.

4.Reattach the rubber gasket, ensuring that the four nubs on the underside of the gasket are pressed firmly into the holes in the battery compartment. This is important to keep the keyboard washable.

5.Reattach the battery cover, ensuring that it is seated properly.

6.Insert the screws, with the washers still attached, and tighten the screws until they are snug.

Note:

If the screws won’t tighten all the way, or the battery cover isn’t flush with the keyboard bottom, make sure the rubber gasket is firmly inserted into the battery compartment.

Caution:

Do not overtighten the screws. You may damage the washers and the keyboard will no longer be washable.

Connecting a TV Cable/Antenna

The DKEC is a 125-channel, cable-ready, stereo television. To use your DKEC as a television, you must first connect it to a TV signal source.

To connect the TV cable:

Screw the existing television cable into the TV In connection on the back of the DKEC. If space is limited, use the supplied right angle F-connector.

To connect a TV antenna:

Use an antenna with a connector designed to fit on to a coaxial cable connection like the one for the TV In connection at the back of the DKEC.

Satellite or Digital Cable Television Service The DKEC supports satellite and digital cable television service; however, when using satellite service, the DKEC remote or keyboard cannot be used to change channels. Continue to use your existing remote control with the set-top box.

Your satellite signal may come in through the standard TV-In coxial connection. See To connect the TV cable in the previous section.

Alternately, you may wish to take advantage of the higher quality of Satellite or Digital Cable by using the S-video connection. You can connect digital cable or a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system, such as DirectTV or DISH, to your DKEC. See To connect an S-Video source in the next section.

NOte:

If you use an S-Video connection from your Satellite or Digital cable, you will need to use Video Mode to watch television. See Video Mode on page 10. The DKEC remote or keyboard cannot be used to change channels in Video Mode. Continue to use your existing remote control with the set-top box.

Connecting an S-Video Source

S-Video (Super-Video) divides video information into two separate signals for a sharper, higher- quality image. Most new video cameras, camcorders, VCRs, and game machines include an S-Video jack.

The DKEC can support one S-Video signal that can be viewed in Video Mode. Press the Video mode button repeatedly to toggle between the S-Video signal and a composite signal.
