FIGURE 1.

FlipScreen Owner’s Manual FIGURE 4. Rear Panel of the iCEBOX FlipScreen Connecting a TV Cable or Antenna The iCEBOX is a 125-channel, cable-ready, stereo television. To use your iCEBOX as a television, you must first connect it to a TV signal source. To connect the TV cable • Screw the existing television cable into the TV In connection on the back of the iCEBOX (fig. 4). If space is limited, use the supplied right angle F-connector.
Getting Started Connecting an S-Video Source The iCEBOX can support one S-Video signal that can be viewed in Video Mode. Press the Video mode button repeatedly to toggle between the SVideo signal and an RCA signal. For more information see Video Mode on page 41. S-Video (Super-Video) divides video information into two separate signals for a sharper, higher-quality image. Most new video cameras, camcorders, VCRs, and game machines include an S-Video jack.
FlipScreen Owner’s Manual Connecting to the Internet The iCEBOX supports three types of Internet connectivity using a PCMCIA Network card. Depending upon which type of card is used, you can connect using: • Wired (Ethernet) Broadband. Your broadband service may be provided over DSL or cable modem. • Wireless (802.11b) Broadband. • Dial-Up Internet Access. The dial-up Internet services must not require the installation of additional software.
Getting Started Wireless Broadband Connectivity There are two ways to connect the iCEBOX to your wireless network: • Using an approved wireless PCMCIA Network card; or, • Using a wireless bridge connected to the ethernet PCMCIA card. Because the iCEBOX uses the Windows CE .NET platform, we cannot ensure that all wireless network cards will work. Please contact customer support for a current list of supported wireless PCMCIA networking cards. To connect using a wireless PCMCIA card 1.
FlipScreen Owner’s Manual Dial-Up Connectivity To connect to a dial-up Internet provider, you will need to use a PCMCIA modem card equipped with an RJ-11 phone jack. Note: The iCEBOX does not currently support any ISPs that require downloading or installing software. At the time of the printing of this manual, AOL is an example of an ISP that will not work with the iCEBOX because of their download requirements, although you can still retrieve AOL mail using the iCEBOX Internet browser.
Getting Started If you live in a house wired with a digital line, you can arrange with your phone company to have an analog line brought into your home. In addition, many digital phone manufacturers offer inexpensive adapters that plug into the digital phone line and convert it to an analog line. These adapters usually work best at lower modem speeds. Connecting Other Devices Printer You can print Web pages with a compatible printer.
