SETUP

SET UP YOUR ANTENNA & INTERNET.

Mount your antenna.

If you already have your own antenna installed, skip to Step 2.
Identify an initial location to place your antenna – on a window or exterior wall is usually the best.
Mount your antenna (keep in mind that you may want to move your antenna after we check your reception in POWER UP SCOUT, Step 3).
Refer to the antenna install instructions now, but don’t connect the cable to your TV. You’ll read more about that in a moment.

Connect your antenna to Scout.

Using the Coax cable connect your antenna to the antenna connector on Scout (Diagram 1).

Choose an internet connection to Scout.

If using your Wi-Fi Network, you can skip this step. You’ll connect later as a part of the on-screen set-up.
If connecting Scout directly to a modem or router, do so now using your ethernet cable (Diagram 2).

CONNECT SCOUT TO YOUR TV.

Connect HDMI cable.

Connect the supplied HDMI cable from the HDMI port on Scout to the HDMI input that you’ve identified on your TV (Diagram 3).
Some TVs have multiple HDMI ports, so take note of which HDMI input you are using.
If you’d like, you can write it down here HDMI #___

Turn on your TV.

Using your TV’s remote control, turn on the TV and select the HDMI input you noted in Step 1C.

POWER UP SCOUT.

Connect Scout to power.

Using the Scout power supply and USB power cable,connect Scout to the power supply.
Plug the power supply into a working power outlet.
You should see some lights blinking on the front of Scout. Don’t worry about what color just yet.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

If everything is good to this point, you should see the Evoca logo on your TV and then after starting up, Scout will guide you through the rest of the set-up (because that’s what Scouts do).
If you don’t see the Evoca logo and instructions, make sure your tv is set to the HDMI input that Scout is hooked up to. Then, make sure that your cables are connected.

Make sure Scout has found your channels.
(Don’t worry, you are almost out of the woods).

After you have completed the on-screen set-up instructions, Scout should reboot automatically. After Scout restarts, the bottom of your screen should look something like this (Diagram 4) with navigation including: Help, Settings, Favorites, Watch TV, Guide (Diagram 5).
Select Guide ( ) and scroll through the channels in your guide. Local channels you should expect to see include CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox.
You should also see your Evoca TV channels, such as the Weather Channel, Bloomberg and NFL Network.
If you see all of these channels, your Scout should have a solid white light on the front and you should be all set to enjoy Evoca TV. If the light is blinking or you didn’t get all of these channels, follow the instructions for re-scanning for channels.

PROGRAM YOUR EVOCA REMOTE

Reference the remote codes on the back page of this guide and note the codes for your brand of TV.
On your new Evoca remote press the Power button ( ) and the Volume Up button ( ) together and hold for 2 seconds.
Once the light on the remote is solid, release those buttons and enter the three digit code for your brand of TV.
Test the Volume and power buttons. If it controls your TV, you are all set. If it doesn’t repeat Step B with the next code for your TV.

Re-scanning for Channels

If you didn’t get all of the channels you were expecting in Power Up Scout, Step 3, or at any time you aren’t receiving the reception you expect, try the following steps:

Move your antenna to a new location (keep in mind that higher is usually better and a window is sometimes better than a wall).
Using your Scout remote, go to homescreen>settings>channel scan> channel scan and then scan. This will take a few minutes, but Scout will scan all available frequencies and look for all of your channels.
If you have all of the channels you’d expect (see Power Up Scout, Steps 3B & 3C), permanently mount your antenna where it is and you are done.
If you still don’t have all of your channels, go back to Power Up Scout, Step 3 and try again. Depending on the location and type of home as well as the type of antenna that you are using, it may take a few tries to get the best possible signal. If you get stuck, please visit www.evoca.tv/ setup or call us at 877-EVOCATV between 9am and 6pm MT.

NOTE : Power and volume controls only work when paired via IR to your TV.
