Basic operation
3.1 Turning your Dreambox on and off
Your Dreambox has an idle mode and an standby mode. Both functions differ in their power consumption
and the time which is needed until the box has booted.
• Idle about 1 Second (higher power consumption)
• Standby about 15 seconds (less power consumption)
Idle Mode
To put your Dreambox into Idle-Mode either press the Standby-Button on your remote control or directly
on your Dreambox. In this mode the OLED-Display only shows the current time.
Standby
For putting your Dreambox into 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 “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 dreambox into 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 Standby-Mode afterwards (saves energy!).
In this mode the OLED-Display doesn’t display anything.
With the Navigation-Buttons () choose the desired option and press the OK-Button.
