fetch H626T TV Mini

All your entertainment in one place

Welcome to Fetch – an exciting new television experience that brings you the best TV, latest movies and popular applications all together in one easy place.
There are 6 easy steps to get you started:

• Unpack the box
• Connect the Fetch Mini to your broadband modem
• Connect the Fetch Mini to your TV Antenna
• Connect the Fetch Mini to your TV
• Power up your Fetch Mini
• Start up Fetch

This guide tells you all you need to know about setting up and turning on Fetch. It also has important safety and usage information.
It’s Fetch and it’s ready when you are.

Step 1. Unpack the box

Before you install your Fetch Mini, check that all the accessories you need have been supplied using this page as a checklist.
What’s in the box:

Important Tips

•  Activate your first box by going to fetch.com.au/activate. To activate additional boxes go to fetch.com.au/account and add the additional boxes to your account.
•  Place the Fetch Mini on a level surface.
• Don’t stack it on anything that vibrates or generates heat.
• Make sure there’s 5cm of space around the Fetch Mini for airflow.
•  The remote control works up to 6m away from the Fetch box in Infrared mode. The voice remote control works up to 10m away in Bluetooth mode.
•  Unplug the Fetch Mini from the power source before cleaning.
•  Clean using a dry cloth only – don’t use water or chemicals.
• Don’t try to open the Fetch Mini – it’s dangerous and will void your warranty.
• Use only with a 100V-240V 50Hz AC power source.
• Use only the power supply provided.
•  Keep liquid, children and pets away from the Fetch Mini at all times.
•  For any problems with your Fetch box, go to fetch.com.au/account.

Step 2. Connect to your Broadband Modem

Fetch is delivered by broadband Internet, so you need to connect your Fetch Mini to the modem.
There are various ways to do this:

Option 1
Connect your Modem to your Fetch Mini via Wi-Fi Use this option if:

•  Your modem is not close to your TV, and
•  You have reliable Wi-Fi in the room where your TV is. If you’re using this connection option you can go straight to Step 3 on Page 10 now. You will set your Wi-Fi up later when you get to Step 6.

Option 2
Connect your Modem to your Fetch Mini via Ethernet cable This is the most reliable connection option. Use this option if: You can run an Ethernet cable directly from your Modem to your Fetch Mini.

To connect, follow these steps:

• Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into a free port on your broadband modem.
• Plug the other end into the port labelled INTERNET on the back of your Fetch Mini.

Option 3
Connect your Modem to your Fetch Mini with Power Line Adapters Use this option if

• Your modem is not close to your TV, and
• Your Wi-Fi is not reliable in the room where your TV is.

Power Line Adapters (called PLA devices) transmit the signal from your modem to your Fetch Mini box using the power cables inside your walls. You can purchase them from any Fetch retailer.

• Plug one Power Line Adapter into an electrical socket near your broadband modem.
• Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Power Line Adapter unit.
• Plug the other end into a free port on your broadband modem.
• Plug the other Power Line Adapter into an electrical socket near your TV and your Fetch Mini.
• Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Power Line Adapter unit.
• Plug the other end into the port labelled INTERNET on the back of your Fetch Mini.

Some more information on Power Line Adapters

• Only use Power Line Adapter units on the same electrical circuit. Most homes have one circuit for lighting and another for electrical outlets, but large homes may have two circuits for electrical outlets.
•  Power Line Adapters should be plugged directly into the wall outlet.
•  Each Power Line Adapter needs at least 5cm below the power outlet to plug in the Ethernet cable so won’t suit very low mounted wall outlets.
• Plugging Power Line Adapters into a double adapter or a power board isn’t recommended as these can prevent the Power Line Adapters from connecting and working properly, and affect the speed and quality of your Fetch service.
• If you have to use an adapter/power board, because there is no other wall outlet available, make sure that: the double adapter/power board does not have surge protectors or noise filtering, and the Power Line Adapter is plugged into the first outlet (the one nearest the cord) on the double adapter/power board.
•  In some houses, the configuration of the wiring in the house may mean the Power Line Adapters can’t establish a connection due to multiple circuits or 3-phase power configurations.

Option 4
Connect your Modem to your Fetch Mini using data cabling Use this option if:

•  Your modem is not close to your TV, and
• Your installation location has cabling with an Ethernet port nearby.

To connect, follow these steps:

• Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into a free port on your broadband modem.
• Plug the other end into the Internet Ethernet wall socket nearest to your broadband modem.
• Plug one end of a second Internet Ethernet cable into the port labelled INTERNET on the back of your Fetch Mini.
• Plug the other end into the Internet Ethernet wall socket nearest your TV and Fetch Mini.

Option 5
Connect your Modem to Fetch Mini by Wireless Bridge
Use this option if you prefer to use a Wireless Bridge. Install the Wireless Bridge using the instructions supplied with it. Put one device near your broadband modem and the other near your Fetch Mini.

To connect, follow these steps:

• Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Wireless Bridge near your broadband modem.
• Plug the other end into a free port on your broadband modem.
• Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Wireless Bridge located near your Fetch Mini.
• Plug the other end into the port labelled INTERNET on the back of your Fetch Mini.

Connect to your TV Antenna

You get your Free-to-Air Digital TV channels using your normal TV antenna. They are not delivered over broadband Internet.
You’ll need your existing TV antenna cable, so unplug it from the back of your TV.

• Plug one end of the existing antenna cable into the antenna wall socket, or leave if already connected to the wall.
• Plug the other end of the antenna cable into the socket labelled Antenna on the back of your Fetch Mini.

No antenna in the room with your Fetch Mini?
If using Multiroom your Fetch Mini can view Free-to-Air channels from a connected Fetch Mighty in your home. So you don’t need to connect both boxes to your TV antenna. For more info download the Multiroom User Guide from fetch.com.au/guides.

Connect to your TV

The Fetch Mini connects to your TV using HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). Only the HDMI cable is needed.

• Plug the HDMI cable into the port labelled HDMI on the back of the Fetch.
• Plug the other end into a free HDMI port on your TV.

Power up

Once you’ve completed all the steps and put the batteries in your remote control it’s time to turn everything on.

• Plug the red end of the power supply unit into the Fetch Mini.
• Plug the power supply unit into the wall power socket.

Once finished simply follow the instructions on the Welcome Screen.
Pair your Fetch Voice Remote

Menu > Manage > Settings > Remote Control.
Connect to your home Wi-Fi network
Your Fetch Mini will check your connection to the Internet and prompt you if you need to connect. If you are already connected there is no need to set up Wi-Fi. If you are connecting using Wi-Fi:

Choose ‘Wi-Fi Connection’ and follow the prompts.

Select your home network from the list of in range networks. If needed, confirm the security settings.

Your Fetch Mini will let you know once you’re connected then continue to start up.

Welcome Screen

•  Use your remote to enter the Activation Code you got from fetch.com.au/activate if this is your first box, or fetch.com.au/account if you are adding additional boxes to your account. Your code (which is case-sensitive) will then be checked and confirmed.

•  Your PIN is used for many things on Fetch such as renting movies, buying TV shows, adding channel packs, and watching restricted content. It’s a good idea to write it down in case you forget it but make sure you always keep it secure. (You may want to keep it a secret from your children too).
• The box will then do a Channel Scan which may take up to 5 minutes. The box will check Diagnostics then show the location of the Fetch TV Privacy Policy. Select Finish to restart and load the Fetch main menu.

Do not turn off or reboot your Fetch Mini at any time during set up. Software updates can take up to 5 minutes. Visit fetch.com.au/guides to download the Fetch Mini User Guide and get the most from your service.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble getting your Fetch Mini to work check some of the tips below before you contact your Service Provider for help.
Display Settings
If your TV image appears out of proportion or stretched you may need to change the Display Resolution, Aspect Ratio and Display Mode. Go to

Main Menu > Manage > Settings > Audio & Visual.
Cabling and TV

• Make sure the power supply unit is correctly connected (Page 12), and there is power available at the wall power point.
•  Check that the AV connections are secure and, if needed, try another connection mode (Page 11).
•  Make sure the TV is set to the right AV input source and mode (Page 11).

Power cycle

• If you are having issues sometimes a box restart is all that’s needed. You can restart at Menu > Manage > Settings > Device Info > Options > Fetch Box restart.
• Or restart by pressing then  on your Fetch remote.
• If your menu isn’t working try turning the power to the box off for 10 seconds before turning it back on.

Internet connection

Double-check that the broadband connection is active.

The LED on the Fetch Mini should be lit blue. If using an Ethernet connection, also check that the indicator lights on your modem are on. If using Power Line Adapters, check the status lights on the adapters.

• If there’s no broadband connection, check you can browse the internet on a computer or smartphone connected to the same router as your Fetch Mini. If not, contact your broadband provider. If you can, power cycle your Fetch Mini.
•  If connecting through Wi-Fi and you don’t see your home network in the list of available networks, try refreshing the list of networks or restart your modem and wait a few minutes to see if your home network appears. Alternatively try to add your home network manually (you’ll need the network name and password).

Remote Control

•  Use the voice remote control (Page 16) within 10 metres of the Fetch Mini when paired in Bluetooth mode.
• For non-Bluetooth remote controls (Page 15), use the remote within 6 metres of the Fetch Mini.
•  If the LED at the top of the remote control does not light up when a button is pressed, change the batteries.
• For issues with voice search through the voice remote, check the remote is paired. Press any button and check the LED is green. If the LED is red, press and hold while pointing at your Fetch Mini to pair or go to Menu > Manage > Settings > Remote Control. If that doesn’t help, press and hold and at the same time while pointing at your Fetch Mini, to re-pair the remote.
