MVP User’s Guide
mobile video phone
Congratulations!
Your new Mobile Video Phone (MVP) from
Hands On Video Relay Services will bring you
into a totally different world – one of increased
flexibility and freedom.
The MVP, the most portable and state-of-the-art
videophone anywhere, allows you to take conversations
with the hearing world anywhere there is an internet
connection. It is also the first videophone designed by
deaf people. We’ve put
a lot of thought in this product, and it shows.
The MVP allows you to make calls involving
face-to-face conversation with ease – you’ll feel
life was much harder without it.
Do the Following:
Take it With You
With a wireless router, you can make or receive VRS
and point-to-point calls wherever you choose: in any
room in your home, your office, or wherever you travel.
The MVP’s built-in touch screen and battery make truly
portable video calls quick and easy.
Stay at Home
The MVP also works great as a TV set-top videophone.
Plug it into any TV and make your calls from your living
or hotel room.
Wired or Wireless
Connect over an ethernet broadband connection or
wherever you have wireless access. Why be tied down?
Meetings Made Simple
Have an ASL conversation with up to eight other people
at once! MVP makes it easy to set up multi-point
conferencing.
Video Messages Find You
When it’s not convenient to take a call, callers to your
Purple Number can leave a Purple mail messages. Your
messages can be accessed with a tap on the touch
screen, or through the web on your Purple account.
ii
Easy (and Fun) To Use
The MVP’s built-in touch screen makes calling anyone
a snap. Make calls, add contacts with the touch screen
keyboard, or set up a conference call. Only MVP lets
you tap your way to fast, mobile communication in ASL.
Made For The Road
The MVP’s built-in Smart Dialing feature and Address
Book lets you keep all your contacts handy and easily
dial any number (voice phone number, IP address, or
DNS number). You’re just one touch-screen tap away
from your friends, family and business associates.
Mobile VCO Inside
Want to use your voice for calls? The MVP has voice
carry over (VCO) audio capability so you can choose to
use your voice when making or receiving calls.
Interoperability
The MVP is interoperable with other videophone
devices. The MVP’s smart dial field makes it easy for
you: you can enter a Purple Number, IP number, or DNS
address and tap on “dial”.
Thank you for choosing Hands On Video Relay Services.
We know you’ll enjoy the MVP!

1.1 Requirements and Contents
1.1.1 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.

1.0 Setting Up
1.2 Choosing a Location for the MVP
The MVP is portable and wireless, but it helps to
choose a home base for the MVP.
1.2.1 Common home bases for the MVP:
• Near an internet router and/or an electrical source.
• The MVP and its cradle both have ports for an
ethernet cord that allows it to connect directly
to the internet. 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.
1.0 Setting Up
• On top of a television
• The 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.
• In a well-lit area
• 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
1.3 Charing and Turning the MVP on
1.3.1 Powering and/or Charging the MVP
1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Plug the power connector of the Power Block
into the 12V port on the back of the MVP.
• 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
• 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.
1.3.2 Sleep Mode
The sleep mode will initiate after five minutes
of inactive use. Pressing the touch screen or any key
on the remote will reactivate the display.
1.3.3 Removing and Inserting the MVP into its cradle
1. 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.
1.0 Setting Up
1.3.4 Turning the MVP on
1. Click on the power button (key on the top right)
for two seconds to turn the device on.
2. The MVP will take a few seconds to load.

information about acquiring a high-speed internet
connection for your home or office, contact your local
telephone or Cable Company.
For more help with installing an internet connection
with your MVP, contact the Hands On VRS Customer
Care department. To contact Customer Care, email
help@hovrs.com, dial help.hovrs.tv through your
videophone or MVP, call Voice (877) 885- 3172,
or call TTY at (877) 885-4976.
1.4.2 Installing a Router
Install your router in accordance with its documentation.
Ensure your broadband connection is working through
your router by connecting an ethernet cord from the
router to your MVP. If the orange LED light lights up on
the MVP, your internet is working.
For the MVP to work wirelessly, your router must be a
wireless router. The MVP supports the 802.11a, 802.11b,
and 802.11g standards.
1.0 Setting Up
1.4.3 Connect the MVP to your router
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the router,
and one end into the back of the MVP (see diagram)
or into the back of the cradle.
1.0 Setting Up
1.4.4 Internet Setup
The MVP will search for an Ethernet connection first.
If there is no Ethernet connection, it will search for a
wireless connection.
A window will ask if you wish to proceed with a
wireless connection. If the wireless connection
is password protected, you will have to provide a
password. To learn more about inputting a password
on the MVP touch keyboard or on the remote,
go to page < >.
When the MVP detects an internet connection, the
Orange LED light will turn on, indicating that there is
an active network connection. The network icon will
appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
If you have difficulty making the MVP detect
the internet connection, contact Hands On VRS
Customer Care.

1.0 Setting Up
1.6.2.1 Functions of the Cradle:
The cradle is used for the following reasons:
• To be able to install and remove the MVP from
a power source quickly and conveniently.
The MVP can be connected to the power
source directly as well.
To connect, via RCA cables (yellow, red, and
• white) to an external unit such as a television.
To connect to the internet through the
• ethernet slot. (The MVP unit may be connected
directly to the ethernet, as well).
To connect to a phone jack. The MVP will light
• up if there is land lines, and will tell you if the
phone is ringing (via flashing lights).
1.6.2.2 More about the Cradle:
An ideal location for the cradle may be on top of a
television unit. The MVP unit and cradle may be placed
flat, as to take minimal space up. The camera will now
operate upside-down. To rotate the camera image, go
to the preferences menu and tap on camera settings.
If the MVP unit is inserted into a cradle, it will detect
if the cradle is connected to an external source such
as a television. If it is connected to an external source,
an input screen will appear on the MVP, asking if you
wish to switch the video to the external unit.
If a videophone call is begun while the MVP is in the
21
1.0 Setting Up
cradle and connected to the internet via an ethernet
cord, the MVP will not be able to remain connected to
the videophone conversation if it is taken out of the
cradle. The call will have to be restarted.
But if a conversation is begun while the MVP is outside
of the cradle, and the MVP is placed into the cradle in
order to power it up or recharge it, the conversation
will not be interrupted.
1.6.2.3 Cradle Settings
When the MVP connects to the cradle the following
will automatically occur:
If an ethernet connection is detected,
the wireless connection will automatically
terminate. The ethernet connection will engage
and connect to the device.
The power supply will automatically divert
from battery to AC (plug in).
If the Audio/Video input RCA jacks are connected to
the cradle, the video stream will divert from the MVP
screen to the external video source.
If the RCA jacks are not connected, the video/audio
stream will remain on the screen.

4. Upload and download speed tabs:
The MVP is designed to work in as many
home and office networks as possible.
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.
46
2.0 Setting Up
The default download speed is 64 kbps. You
may change it to 128, 256, or 384 kbps.
The MVP also has an auto set function that will

speeds for your home network.

standards to use the MVP with (802.11a,
