Automatic Software Updates
Upon power-up, the TV screen may occasionally display a message that indicates the
1840 is automatically updating its software. Wait for the time to display on the front
panel of your 1840. When the front panel displays the time, the update is complete.
Connect the coaxial cable that carries the signal from your cable service
provider to the CABLE IN connector on the back panel of the 1840.
To connect your SDTV to the 1840, see the connection diagrams
beginning on page 12. Select the confi guration that best matches your
entertainment devices.
Plug the 1840 and the TV into an AC power source.
Important: To protect the 1840 from power surge damage, ground
(earth) your cable product to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. To avoid these voltage
surges that can be caused by lightning storms and power outages,
plug the 1840 into a surge protector to reduce the risk of damage.
Do not turn on the 1840 or TV yet. It may take several minutes for
the 1840 to receive the latest software, programming, and service
information. Wait until you see one of the following displays on the
front panel of the 1840 that indicates that the update is complete:
• Current time
Note: If four dashes are displayed, you must call your cable service
provider to get the 1840 authorized.
It may take several minutes for the set-top to receive the latest
software, programming, and service information. When the Power
light on the front panel stops fl ashing, that is your indication that the
programming update is complete.
To begin watching TV, turn the TV ON, and press POWER on the
front of the 1840, or press Power on the remote control.
• Four dashes (- - - -)
