Changing the Settings of VTV-A10

Details about changing the settings of VTV-A10 are as follows;

■Device SSID: When released from the factory, the SSID for VTV-A10 is

marked in the label on the rear of the body. When changing the SSID, you

should fill in only the combination of lower case alphabet letters and

numbers. After changing the SSID you need to register the new SSID for

VTV-A10 at Wi-Fi menu in the smart phone.

■Password: When first released out from the factory, there is no

password set and the user can determine it as he or she wishes. The

password must be a combination of only the lower case/capital alphabet

letters and numbers. After setting the password, you need to register and

select again a SSID for VTV-A10 at Wi-Fi menu in the smart phone.

■Auto Power Off: With the VTV-A10 on and if it does not work in any

way in a time set – selectable among 1m/5m/30m/60m/Never - the power

is automatically turned off. If it is set to [Never], please note that the power

does not automatically go off but the batteries can be unnecessarily

consumed. However, with the Auto Power OFF setting is on, the power

does not go off it the VTV-A10 is being recharged.

If you not familiar with Wi-Fi network, do not change the SSID and

Password settings. A misguided changing of the settings may lead to a

failure in accessing the VTV-A10 from the smart phone. If accidentally

changed, the settings can be restored through the ‘Initializing to Factory

Settings’ function.

The specifications or interfaces of an application can be modified without

notice. For details about firmware or software, and User’s Manual,

please refer to our Customer Supporting website.

Trouble Shooting (Q&A)

Q1) As I activated the client application, I see a message, “Unable to

Connect Device”.

① The power of VTV-A10:Check if the power of VTV-A10 is on.

② When using iPhone/iPod Touch: Check if [Wi-Fi] in [Settings] is set

to [ON] at iPhone, as well as whether a correct SSID for VTV-A10 is

selected from the network list. The SSID for VTV-A10 is provided in

the label on the rear of the body.

③ Resetting the VTV-A10:Pressing the Reset Switch with a pin resets

the system. (The settings are saved)

④ When connecting the VTV-A10 with other smart phone: VTV-A10

matches a smart phone, on 1:1 basis. You will get an error message if

you try to activated an application at a smart phone other than those

previously connected to the VTV-A10. If you want to connect the VTV-

A10 to other smart phone, please initialize the VTV-A10 to factory

settings as described in ⑤and try it again.

⑤ Initializing the VTV-A10 to factory settings: If the same problem

continues even after checking the power and SSID, please initialize

the VTV-A10 to factory settings. If you press the power button and

immediately press the reset hole with a pin while holding the power

button, the power turns off and on, and the VTV-A10 returns to its

initial settings at the time of purchase. The initializing process turns all

settings including SSID back to their initial states. Note that you

should perform this only when the Power & Battery LED indicator is on

in green (not flickering).

Q2) When watching a channel, I often find the picture broken and the

sound not so good.

① Make sure that the ATSC-M/H receiving antenna is pulled out in its full

length when watching a ATSC-M/H channel, to get enough TV signals.

② Please try to move to a location that can provide a good signal

receiving.
