Powering-Up Your Slingbox - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

Powering-up your Slingbox

Connect the supplied power adapter to Slingbox and to an electrical outlet. When plugged in, the
Power light on the front of Slingbox comes on, and then the lights on the front of Slingbox will
blink a few times as Slingbox starts up.
The Network light remains on if Slingbox successfully received an IP address (your router
recognizes Slingbox as a new device on your network). If both the power and network lights are on,
you are ready to install the software.
Before you install SlingPlayer,
• Ensure your computer is connected to the same router as Slingbox. See "Multiple Routers In
Your Home" on page 93 for more information.
• Ensure your cable box, satellite receiver, or DVR is ON and set to live television (not recording a
program), and no menu is on your TV screen.
• Check to see if the Power and Network lights are switched on.
You now can install SlingPlayer. See Chapter 3: "Installing SlingPlayer".
