1. Safety Instructions
Your safety is important to us, please read this page first
• Do not try to open i-Player as there is a risk of electrical shock.
• Install i-Player on a firm and flat surface.
• Allow a minimum of 1 cm around each side of i-Player for proper cooling.
• Only use the cables supplied with i-Player.
• i-Player should not be exposed to liquids either dripping or splashing, nor should any objects filled with liquids (such as vases) be
placed close to it.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lit candles near i-Player.
• Keep i-Player away from domestic heating equipment, direct sunlight and humidity.
• Always disconnect i-Player from the wall socket before cleaning it. Use a soft cloth and a mild solution of washing-up liquid to
clean the casing.
• Do not insert anything into openings or connectors of i-Player.
A 3 amp fuse is fitted in i-Player’s three-pin mains plug. If replacement is needed, always use a 3 amp rated fuse approved by ASTA
or BSI to BS1362. Check for the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the fitted plug has a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover
the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.
If the fitted plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut-off plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical
shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
How to replace the fuse:
Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then refit securely into the mains plug.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
blue = neutral, brown = live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond to the markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
1. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
2. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
Important note: Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the Earth terminal of the three-pin plug,
marked with the letter ‘E’ or the earth symbol.
If you encounter problems using i-Player, you should never try to repair it by yourself, please follow the instructions listed in the
troubleshooting section of the manual.

3. Setting up i-Player
The initial set up process configures your digital television services and performs the maintenance procedure to ensure that your i-
Player holds the latest software version.
Once i-Player is correctly connected (TV, mains and phone), switch it on and follow the on-screen instructions.
After a quick tour explaining how to use the remote control, the initial set up process will:
• Automatically tune in all digital services available in your area (TV channels, radio channels and digital Text)
• Check if a newer i-Player software version is available for you. If a service update is available, your i-Player will automatically receive
it (it lasts about 5 to 10 minutes).
• If a software upgrade is available, you will be informed on the TV screen and you can then decide to perform the upgrade. Software
upgrade is free, with the exception of connection time charged at BT’s standard local call rate.
• Set up a free i-Player mailbox
After the initial set up process, i-Player is ready!
