Your WorldGate wireless keyboard allows you access to the Internet through interactive TV. WorldGate also
allows you to find information about your local community and to open websites related to the programs and
ads you're viewing - while you watch.
Note: Throughout this manual, buttons on the WorldGate keyboard are shown in bold type: Select. On-screen
buttons are indicated by quotation marks: "Continue".

The Keyboard

Take a few minutes to look over your WorldGate keyboard. In addition to the keys that correspond to familiar
typewriter or computer keyboard keys, there are a number of buttons and indicators that deal only with
WorldGate functions.
(Some of the keys also make it possible to operate your cable TV service directly from the keyboard without
switching to the remote control. You may want to experiment with these functions on your own. This manual
will cover only the use of the keyboard for WorldGate access.)
Note: Your keyboard uses three AA alkaline batteries. The battery compartment is on the back of the keyboard.
If the keyboard stops working, you may need to install new batteries.
• Open the battery compartment cover by pushing in and lifting up the small tab on the battery cover.
• Remove the old batteries.
• Install new batteries – be sure to match the + and – symbols on the batteries with the symbols inside the
battery compartment.
• To replace the battery cover insert the two tabs into the slots on the case and gently press the cover into
place.
Using the Keyboard
To use your wireless keyboard:
• The TV and cable box must be turned on to access WorldGate.
• Make sure the keyboard is within 16 feet of the TV and cable box.
• Keep a direct "line of sight" open between the keyboard and the TV and cable box (no furniture or
people between the keyboard and TV).
• Replace the batteries when the "low batt" indicator on the upper left of the keyboard is lit.
• Familiarize yourself with the keyboard. You may want to keep the diagram in front of you while you are
learning to use WorldGate.
Note: If your keyboard wasn't programmed to recognize your TV when your WorldGate service was installed
or if you get a new TV, you may need to program the keyboard (see Programming The Keyboard on page 18) to
recognize your television. (If your TV stops responding to the keyboard and installing new batteries doesn't
solve the problem, you may have changed the programmed codes by mistake. You can restore the codes by
reprogramming the keyboard. (see page 18).
