Page 13 Guided Setup With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to turn on your TV. As the TV starts for the first time, it leads you through Guided Setup, which configures the TV before you start to use it. During Guided Setup, you’ll: • Answer a few questions • Provide network connection information • Get a software update • Link your TV to your Roku account. • Connect devices such as a DVD player, game console, or cable box. Note: Guided Setup runs only once, the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to run Guided Setup again, you’ll have to perform a factory reset, as explained in “Factory reset everything” on page 68. Starting Guided Setup To start Guided Setup, press the POWER button on the remote control to turn on your TV. When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll notice the following things happening: 1. The status light blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case, it’s powering up and getting ready for you. 2. The power-on screen appears and the status light blinks slowly for a few more seconds. The power-on screen displays the TCL • Roku TV logo while the TV starts up.

After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts: Tip: On TVs sold in the United States, if you are blind or visually impaired, you can activate the Audio Guide, a text-to-speech screen reader to help you navigate the TV’s menus and commands. To enable the Audio Guide, press the Þ button on the remote control four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable the Audio Guide. (The Þ button is located directly below the directional pad on the right side of the Roku remote control.)

Page 15 Setting up your TV With the first Guided Setup screen on your TV, follow these steps to set it up: 1. Press OK or the RIGHT arrow on the remote control to go to the next screen: 2. Press OK to select Set up for home use. Home mode is the right choice for enjoying your TV at home. It provides energy saving options as well as access to all features of the TV. Note: Store mode configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use. In store mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the other, you have to perform a factory reset as explained in “Factory reset everything” on page 68, and then repeat Guided Setup. 3. If you select a wireless network that is password-protected, an on-screen keyboard appears. Use the keyboard to enter the network password. Tip: Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the name. This icon enables you to know that you are going to be prompted to enter a password after you select that network.
Page 16 4. After you submit your wireless network password, the TV displays progress messages as it connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet. 5. Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display time information about the program you are currently watching. If the TV is unable to automatically determine the local time zone, it prompts you to choose your time zone from a list. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight your time zone, and then press OK. 6. As soon as the TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software update, and then restarts. Tip: Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options or features. This User Guide describes version 7.5. To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Setup.

Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku® products are sold. 7. Using a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet connection, go to the web address displayed on the screen and enter the code that appears on your screen. After you log in or create your Roku account, the link page suggests that you select some streaming channels. After you confirm your selections, the TV gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your preexisting and newly-selected streaming channels to your Roku TV. This process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of streaming channels to add. Tip: Streaming channels from all Roku streaming devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically, so all of your Roku streaming devices have the same streaming channels (subject to compatibility with the device). Why do I need a Roku Account? You need a Roku account for several reasons. •It links you, your Roku TV and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku Channel Store and billing service. •Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your Roku TV. •Roku can automatically send updates to your device. Important: When you set up a Roku account, you must register a payment method. Adding a payment method now l ets you easily rent or buy movies on demand, or try popular paid subscription or transaction-based streaming channels. You won’t be charged unless you agree to the terms and cost of the content. If you are concerned about unauthorized charges, you can set up a PIN that you must enter to authorize each charge.

Page 19 inputs and asks what kind of device you have connected. On each input that has a connected and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound. 10. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and then press OK to move on to the next input. You’re done with Guided Setup. Note: Some Roku TVs, depending on where you live and other factors, show you an introductory video filled with some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested in viewing this video, press on the remote control to exit to the Roku TV Home screen. When you finish Guided Setup, and whenever you press on the remote control, the Home screen greets you. From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer.
