Basic operation
3.1 Turning your Dreambox on and off
Your Dreambox has a standby mode and a so-called deep-standby mode. Both functions differ in their
power consumption and the time which is needed until the box has booted.
• Standby about 1 Second (higher power consumption)
• Deep-Standby about 1-2 Minutes (less power consumption)
Standby
To put your Dreambox into Standby-Mode either press the Standby-Button on your remote control or
directly on your Dreambox. In this mode the OLEd only shows the current time.
Deep-Standby
For putting your Dreambox into Deep-Standby-Mode, there are 3 options:
1. Holding down the Standby-Button on your remote control for three seconds.
2. Press the MENU-Button, with the Navigation-Buttons () choose the option “Standby /
Restart” and press the OK-Button. With the Navigation-Buttons () choose the option “Deep-
Standby” and press the OK-Button.
3. Alternatively you can push down the Standby-Button on your Dreambox for 5 seconds. If no OSD
Menu is visible on the screen this will also put your reambox into Deep-Standby-Mode. (If the OSD
Menu is still open press the EXIT-Button).
All your settings will be saved now and your Dreambox goes into Deep-Standby-Mode afterwards (saves
energy!). In this mode the OLED-Display doesn’t display anything.
Sleep-timer Put your Dreambox into Standby after a duration of time that can be chosen freely. (See
Chapter 3.12 Sleep timer on page 27)
