IR (infrared) signals. And because of its intuitive interface, iPronto is easy to use for everybody.
But iPronto is not only a remote control: it also has an Electronic Program Guide. Without any effort you always
have an up-to-date and customizable Program Guide for your favorite channels. What makes this Electronic Program
Guide so unique is its direct interaction with the iPronto’s remote control. No more wading through pages of program
guides.
Get the information you want fast and start watching your programs immediately by tapping one single button. You are
watching TV and would like to see sports shows? Using the EPG, you only need one button press to surf through the
channels that are broadcasting sports at this particular moment.

Installing the Wireless LAN Adapter
In a wireless network, the Wireless Access Point (WAP) is the last point that is connected to your network with wires.
To communicate with your iPronto, the WAP sends out RF (radio frequency) signals, which spread in all directions. The
iPronto’s Wireless LAN Adapter (also called PCMCIA card) receives these RF signals and sends RF signals back to the
WAP.
The first thing you do when you take your iPronto out of the box, is installing this Wireless LAN Adapter. In the
following illustrations you see how the installation works:
1 Open the Wireless LAN Adapter cover by pushing in the grips and sliding off the cover in the direction
indicated below (figure 1).
2 Insert the Wireless LAN Adapter in the socket, as indicated below (figure 2).

Recharging
The iPronto is provided with a power adapter to recharge the battery. When the battery is low, it takes about two hours
to recharge. After three hours, recharging is automatically stopped. On first usage, it is advisable to recharge the
battery for the full three hours. The iPronto can be used when it is recharging.
In order to keep the battery in the best condition, it is best to recharge it frequently. It is advised to recharge before the
battery is empty, otherwise you might lose some of your settings. In normal use, recharge every 2 days. When you use
the iPronto very frequently, recharge every day. In this illustration you see how to plug in the power adapter:
The first time you put the battery in the iPronto, the iPronto
will start up automatically and guide you to the System
Settings. This may take 1 to 2 minutes. Continue with the
next chapter, Getting the iPronto Up and Running, to adjust
the settings.

Once you have adjusted the general settings and network settings, you can start using the iPronto. In this chapter you
read how to operate the touch screen, what the hard buttons are for and how you can use the iPronto’s applications
and functions.
The Touch Screen
The iPronto has a touch screen. You can operate the touch screen in two ways. One way is to use the plastic-tipped
stylus. It is specially designed for use on a touch screen. The stylus is very useful if you want to tap a small area on the
touch screen, because it is very precise.
Warning Never use an actual pen, pencil or other sharp object. These objects can damage the touch screen.
You can also operate the touch screen with your fingers. Fingers are less precise than the stylus, but you may find it
more comfortable to use your fingers on the touch screen.
The Status Display
Below the touch screen, the iPronto has a small screen. This second
screen is always on, even when the iPronto has been switched off.
It displays the time and battery status.
The status display also displays an RF icon and an IR icon.
Whenever the iPronto is communicating over your home network,
the RF icon is on. The IR icon gives you feedback when you are
using the iPronto’s remote control: every time you tap a button on
the touch screen or press a hard button that sends an IR code to
your device, the IR icon flashes.

In the System Settings you can decide on other options for waking up the iPronto. See Adjusting the Wake up
Conditions on page 19.
You can also use the Power button to switch the iPronto off at any time.
The RC buttons
The iPronto has five buttons on the front panel. They always operate the iPronto’s remote control (RC): When you are
working with the iPronto’s Electronic Program Guide or browser, these buttons will still have RC functions. By default,
the RC buttons have the following functions:
You can change these default functions with
the iPronto’s “learning” tool. This means that
the iPronto will learn an IR (infrared) code
from the conventional RC of your device, for
instance your TV. See Learning IR on page 38.

The Remote Control
The iPronto remote control (RC) is a universal RC. This means that it can be used for virtually any audio and video
device, such as a TV, VCR, DVD, CD and so on. As long as your device understands IR codes, the iPronto RC can control
it. This way, the iPronto RC replaces the individual RCs that accompany your devices.
You access the iPronto RC via the touchstrip: Layout 1 is a RC in XL view. See Views, Layouts and Touchstrip on page
30 for more information.

How Does the iPronto RC Work?
The core element of the iPronto RC is its “configuration file”. This iPronto Configuration File or ICF determines what the
interface on the iPronto RC looks like and how the iPronto RC behaves.
The ICF stores several predefined devices. These devices represent your conventional remote controls. Each device
consists of one or more pages with buttons on them.
You can access the devices from the Device tab or from the Device Overview. When you tap a device in the Device tab
or in the Device Overview, you immediately jump to the first page of that device.

The devices and pages of the iPronto RC have an M view and an XL view. In both views you can tap buttons to

Learning IR Codes
The iPronto RC sends out infrared (IR) signals to your devices, which will execute an action, for example “TV On” or
“VCR Start Recording”.
For every action the iPronto sends out a specific IR signal, called an “IR code”.
The iPronto RC contains a huge database that contains numerous IR codes for all
kinds of devices.
The iPronto RC is set up by default to operate Philips and compatible
devices. If you have other brands, the iPronto has to “learn” the
specific IR codes for your device from the conventional RC that
accompanies the device. This means that you press the button on the
conventional RC and point it at the iPronto’s learning eye:

The iPronto RC will learn the IR code from the conventional RC. You can learn all soft buttons and hard buttons on the
iPronto.
Note
The function of the hard buttons is always device-independent. This means that a hard button always executes the same
action, no matter what device is active.
Follow these steps to “learn” an IR code for a soft button or for a hard button.
1 To learn a button, open the page that contains the button you want to learn.
Make sure the page is in XL view.
2 Tap the Tools tab on the left side of the XL view.

-orFor learning a hard button, press the hard button you want to learn on the iPronto.
5 Press and hold the button on the conventional RC.
The conventional RC sends out an IR code.
If learning succeeds, the iPronto RC beeps and OK appears on the screen.
If learning does not succeed, the iPronto beeps and Failed appears on the screen.
Note
When learning fails, try the following:
Make sure you aim the IR sender of the conventional remote control to the iPronto’s learning eye;
■ Make sure the distance between the iPronto and the conventional remote control is between 4 and 8 inches
(10 and 20 centimeters);
■ Make sure the batteries of the iPronto or of the conventional RC are not low;
■ Avoid learning under bright fluorescent light or direct sunlight: it might affect the IR signals.

Using iProntoEdit
When you buy an iPronto, it is supplied with a default ICF. However, you can also personalize the functions and the
look of the iPronto. You can do this with iProntoEdit. iProntoEdit is the visual editor for creating and configuring ICFs
on your computer. You can download the latest version of iProntoEdit and the accompanying manual from the Pronto
site at http://www.pronto.philips.com/products/ipronto.
With iProntoEdit, you can fully define the iPronto user interface, for example:
■
You can perform basic actions, such as:
■ Deleting and adding devices;
■ Deleting and adding pages;
■ Deleting and adding buttons or panels;
■ Previewing the ICF with the iPronto Emulator.
■
You can easily position elements on a page with simple tools, such as:
■ Setting a Grid and Border;
■ Centering elements;
■ Setting the Z-order of elements.
■
You can design pages with buttons and bitmaps, for example:
■ Adding bitmaps to a button for its pressed and released state;
■ Importing an entire gallery with your own buttons or bitmaps;
■ Changing the color of elements;
■
You can configure elements, such as:
■ Labeling buttons, pages and devices.
■ Adding a complete action list (also called “macros”) to a button, with an IR command, links, delays, beeps and
jumps.
■ Adding IR codes from iProntoEdit’s universal database.

electronic equivalent of a printed television program guide. But the iPronto’s EPG is not a regular EPG: It is unique
because of its direct interaction with the iPronto’s remote control. While browsing through the Electronic Program
Guide, you can immediately switch your TV to the channel.
Note
Before you can use the iPronto EPG, you have to register online. See Registration on page 49 for more information.

buttons
appear. With these SmartSurf buttons you can easily surf through the programs in the list. For example: if you want to
watch sports but not soaps or home shopping, then tap “sports” and flip through only what you want to see: football,
soccer, baseball, tennis, car racing. With the SmartSurf buttons your TV will simply surf through the sports shows that
are on TV and it will skip channels that do not broadcast sports shows, even during commercial breaks.

The soft buttons on my touch screen do not respond properly
It might happen that the buttons on your touch screen do not respond properly, for example when you have to tap to the
left of the button instead of on the button. In this case, you should recalibrate the touch screen. Calibrating enables the
iPronto to place the icons on the touch screen in line with their functions. See Calibrating the Touch Screen on page 16.
My iPronto switches off automatically
The iPronto has a power off time out function to save power. You can change the power off time out in the System
Settings. See Adjusting the Power off Time Out on page 18.
Devices do not respond to the commands I send
■ Make sure to point the iPronto’s sending eye towards the device.
■ Make sure there is no obstruction between the iPronto and the device.
■ Check the battery status in the status display or in the General tab of the System Settings.
■ Check if your device understands Philips IR codes. You can find this information in your device’s manual. If your
device does not understand Philips IR codes, you can learn the IR code from the conventional remote control.
See Learning IR Codes on page 38.
My iPronto does not respond
When your iPronto does not respond, try the following:
1 The iPronto may be sleeping. Press the Power button to wake it up.
2 The battery may be low. Check the battery status on the status display. Recharge the battery if
necessary.
See Installing and Recharging the Battery on page 10.
3 If steps 1 and 2 have no result, use the Reset button. The Reset button is located at the back of the

Troubleshooting
The Watch Feature and the SmartSurfer of my EPG application do not work
■ The Watch Feature and SmartSurf buttons only appear on your screen when “Now” information is displayed.
■ Because the Watch Feature and SmartSurfer automatically surf between channels on your TV, you have to “tell”
them how to surf channels. There are several ways to surf, for example with a 10+ button, an Enter button, and so
on. In the EPG settings, you determine the way that your TV changes channels.
See The SmartSurfer on page 47.
■ The Watch Feature and SmartSurf buttons will only function if the channel selection mechanism on your iPronto RC
functions properly. Test whether the channel selection mechanism functions correctly in the Watch Device of the
ICF of the RC. If necessary, “learn” the IR code for the button (10+, Enter,...).
See Learning IR Codes on page 38.
