1.0 Setting Up1.1.1  Internet Connection Requirements:A high speed Internet connection (Cable Modem or DSL connection) with an internet router, and/or a wireless connection is required for using the MVP.  You may access wireless hotspots at places like the library or the local coffee house. The internet speed may vary from location to location. For best picture quality, a minimum 256kbps upload speed works best for videophone calls. You may also install a wireless router at home so you can use the MVP from any room in your house.  For installation help, please contact the Hands On VRS customer care department.1.1.2  Package Contents1. MVP2. Cradle3. Power cord4. Battery pack5.

The MVP also has wireless capability.  Because wireless coverage decreases the further the MVP gets from the wireless router, it is best to set up the internet router in a central location in your home or office for maximum roaming range.The MVP may be charged through its cradle or directly. It is important to charge the MVP frequently, so that it has longer battery life when it is used outside of the cradle.• •
• On top of a television• In a well-lit areaThe MVP cradle has RCA jacks that allow the signal to be viewed on a television screen.  The cradle may be placed atop the television, and the MVP may be taken out of the cradle to use in any area of the home or office.Because it is important for the caller to see your signing and facial expressions, the MVP should be positioned so that it captures the caller in a good light. Avoid locations where the light source is directly above you or behind you.  A location where the light shines on your hands and face works best.1.0 Setting Up                                                                                 3••
The MVP runs on battery power. The battery life is approximately 90 minutes long when in use, or 6 hours in standby. For this reason, it is best to leave the MVP in its cradle when it is not in use.• 1.0 Setting Up                                                                                1.3.1  Powering and/or Charging the MVP1.

Pressing the touch screen or any key on the remote will reactivate the display.1.3.3  Removing and Inserting the MVP into its cradle1. To remove the MVP, gently pull on the unit     and separate it from the cradle.2. To insert the MVP into the cradle, make sure that     the MVP is face-up and that the cradle’s port is fully     inserted into the MVP.  If it is not fully inserted, the     MVP’s battery will not charge.The screen display indicates the battery status in the upper right corner with the battery icon. When the MVP is fully charged, the battery will appear full. When there is one bar or zero bars left on the battery, it is time to recharge the MVP.•

If your network contains additional devices (computers, gaming systems, etc.), you may need to make certain adjustments to the upload and download speed settings on the MVP.  For example, if you are using the internet to play games during a call on the MVP, the person you are calling may experience poor video quality, as you no longer have the upstream bandwidth required to generate a clear, crisp picture on the MVP.  You may adjust your bandwidth to accommodate the upload speeds.  The default upload speed is 64 kbps.  You may change it to 128, 256, or 512 kbps.  Lower speeds will result in decreased picture quality, but the images will not be as choppy.
