Connect the power
Plug the power cord into the back of the cable box and then plug the other end into
an electrical outlet. Plug in your TV and turn it on. Using your TV's remote (not the
Optimum remote), tune to channel 3 or 4 on your TV to get a signal.
Note: Once your TV is set to the right channel, DO NOT CHANGE it with your TV remote or you will lose
your cable signal. Use only the Optimum remote to change channels after setup.

Activate
Activation should begin automatically. Once "Turn" and "On" alternate on the LED
screen, turn on your digital cable box if it's not already on. The power is on if the power
button is blue. On your TV you'll see text that reads: "Please wait, we are preparing the
service for you." When the service is ready, the time will display on the LED screen. This
may take several minutes.
