Connect the power

Back of digital cable box
Plug the power cord into the AC power input on the back of the digital cable box and then plug the other end into
the wall outlet or surge protector. You'll know the power is on when the blue light appears on the front of the digital
cable box. If it doesn't, turn on the power by pressing the power button on the lower left corner.
Make sure your TV is plugged in and powered on. Then check that your TV is on the correct input using the remote
control that came with your TV. The input selected on your TV must match the input you used to connect your
digital cable box to your TV in Step 2. To set your TV to the correct input, press the INPUT, SOURCE or TV/VIDEO
button on your TV manufacturer's remote control.
DO NOT plug other components such as DVD players, VCRs or gaming consoles into the back of the digital cable box.
