Favorite Channels; Training Your Own Voice Instructions - Innotech SurfBoard User Manual

L You must say the keyword each time you issue a voice
command for the SurfBoard remote to recognize it. For
example, "Surfboard" (Wait for green light) "Channel
Up" or "Surfboard" (wait for green light) "Previous."

Favorite Channels

The SurfBoard remote comes from the factory preprogrammed to a
series of favorite channels, 2, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. Each time
you press and hold [SURF] or say the "favorite" voice command, the
SurfBoard remote will set your TV or cable/satellite box to the next
favorite channel.
You will probably want to change the factory favorite channels to suit
your viewing habits. This can be done through the help system by
pressing [HELP] ÿ [5]. The SurfBoard remote will prompt you to
enter each of your favorite channels separated by [MUTE/ENTER].
After entering your favorite channels press [POWER]. This will save
your new favorite channels. If you press an incorrect button, just
press or to backspace.
For example to set up channels 4 and 82 as favorite channels, press:
ÿ ÿ
[HELP] [5] [4]
[8] ÿ [2] ÿ [MUTE/ENTER]
The SurfBoard has a limited amount of space for storing favorite
channels, depending on the number of digits required for each
channel and whether your need to use Enter buttons. You can
typically save from 5 to 10 favorite channels.
HINT: If your favorite channels do not work properly of if you don't
need to press ENTER when changing channels, you should try again
but this time press the button instead of ENTER to separate
your favorite channels.

Training Your Own Voice Instructions

To make maximum use of the powerful voice command capabilities
of the SurfBoard remote, you can customize your voice commands
to automatically perform your most common operations. For example
you can easily program a voice command for "HBO" and have the
SurfBoard set the TV or cable/satellite box to the proper channel.
If you frequently watch one of 2 or 3 movie channels you can set up
one voice command so that each time you say the word "movies" the
SurfBoard remote will take you to each movie channel in
succession. Similarly you can set up another voice command for
"baseball" to take you between 2 baseball channels you frequently
watch.
You can train the SurfBoard remote to recognize your special voice
commands using the HELP system. You can also save time by using
the [TRAIN] button.
Using either method, the SurfBoard remote will prompt you to say a
voice command. Whenever you train a new voice command, be
sure the room is quiet and free of extraneous noises. The
remote will hear these noises and think they are a part of the desired
voice command. When the green light comes on, say the word you
want to program. For example, "HBO". The SurfBoard will always
ask you to repeat the voice command at least once. This is because
there might have been a background noise that you didn't notice
such as a door closing, or a car horn. The SurfBoard remote must
hear a similar sounding command two times in a row or it will
ask you to repeat the command again.
Speak in a natural tone the same way you are likely to say the
command when using the remote. For best results the remote
should be trained in the same physical location where it will be used.
The SurfBoard will perform best at approximate arms length distance
from your mouth. The SurfBoard will compare the new voice
command to its database of voice commands to be sure it is not too
similar to other commands you may have already programmed.
