The ABC’s of Fiber Optics


The Verizon FiOS Difference: Understanding your new fiber-optic connection

Now that you’re hooked up, here’s how it works. Although traditional telephone and cable TV networks use mostly copper wire and coaxial cable to deliver services, Verizon FiOS is 100% fiber optic, bringing you state-of-the-art voice, TV and high-speed Internet service. With FiOS, your home is now ahead of its time.

Verizon FiOS uses hair-thin strands of glass to carry information, in the form of laser-generated pulses of light. When those pulses of light reach your home through our network, they are converted into electrical signals in a box installed outside your home called the Optical Network Terminal (ONT). Once the signals have been converted, your home’s existing telephone wiring and coaxial cable carry voice and TV signals to your phones and TV sets. Either

CAT5 or a combination of CAT5 and coaxial cable is used to carry

Verizon FiOS Internet signals. Similarly, when information is sent from your home, those electrical signals are changed into light pulses in the ONT so they can travel to their destinations.

Unlike traditional self-powered telephone or cable television service, your

Verizon FiOS service depends on your home’s power source.

5


The Optical Network Terminal (ONT ):

Your light source

Traditional telephone service uses copper wire to transmit communications signals. Verizon FiOS, however, transmits signals using hair-thin strands of glass fiber and laser-generated pulses of light.

When that light reaches your home through the Verizon network, it is converted into electric signals in a box installed outside your home called the ONT. That way, it can be “read” by your telephones and computers.

Information that is sent from your home will be converted from electric signals to light in the ONT.

Unlike traditional self-powered telephone service, your Verizon FiOS service depends on your home’s power source.

FiOS TV Installation Diagrams

Depending on the type of home you live in, your FiOS TV service will be installed using either the model shown below or the one on page 7.

Some Apartments/Condominiums

If you live in a building with multiple units, such as an apartment building or other location with multiple tenants, the ONT and Battery Backup Unit (BBU) may be installed in your apartment’s utility room or closet (see Single-Family

House diagram). However, in many apartments and condominiums, the

ONT/BBU are installed in a centralized location in your building. In that case, the information on pages 6–12 may not apply to you.

The ONT has a power cord that goes into your home through the ONT Power

Supply Unit, where it plugs into an existing standard electrical outlet.

To ensure connectivity to the Verizon FiOS network, please make sure your ONT Power Supply Unit is plugged in at all times.

One of these ONT models will be installed in your home.

ONT Power Supply Unit (OPSU):

Your electricity source

Your ONT requires electricity to operate all Verizon services provided on the FiOS network. The OPSU supplies that power by connecting your

ONT directly to an electrical outlet in your home or garage.

The OPSU contains a single indicator light that tells you if electrical power is present. If the indicator light is dark, electricity is not flowing from the outlet to the ONT.

In normal operation, the light should be green.

The ONT requires very little power to operate. In fact, the amount of power needed is as little as what it would take to operate a couple of night-lights.

Problems with your equipment or service?

Please go to fioshelp.verizon.com

or call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center at 1-888-553-1555 .


Battery Backup Unit (BBU):

Continuous power when you need it

In case your ONT Power Supply Unit is accidentally unplugged — or in the event of a commercial power failure — a BBU has been installed to provide you with backup power for voice service for approximately four hours.

Your BBU was installed in a location in your home or garage where it can be easily monitored — most likely near the OPSU. The BBU is connected directly to the ONT to provide backup power if it’s needed. In addition, the BBU contains a series of indicator lights that tell you whether your service is being powered by your home’s electricity or the battery.

The BBU also tells you when the battery needs to be replaced. The average life of your battery is between one and four years, depending on the average temperature of the environment. When your battery does need to be replaced, you can purchase a sealed lead-acid battery at a major electronics outlet or home improvement store.

Note: Battery disposal standards and requirements vary by state. If you need to replace the sealed lead-acid battery in your backup unit, please check the following Environmental Protection Agency resources for proper disposal instructions: visit epa.gov/epr/products/batteries.html or call the EPA directly at 1-800-424-9346.

9


BBU Audible Alarms:

Both BBU models are equipped with an audible alarm to inform you of problems with your BBU. The alarm sounds for two seconds and then is silent for 58 seconds. The conditions listed below are the potential reasons for the audible alarm. You can use the alarm in combination with the indicator lights to troubleshoot your BBU issue.

Low Battery — Alarm is silenced if the battery voltage goes above 12V

(electrical power has returned), the battery is fully discharged or the battery is removed from the BBU.

Foreign Voltage — Alarm is silenced once the foreign voltage has been properly removed.

Replace Battery — Alarm is silenced when the battery is removed.

Overcurrent — Alarm is silenced once the overcurrent has been properly removed.

Since you are responsible for the management of your battery, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the indicator lights and audible alarm, to ensure that you have backup power if it’s needed.

10

Please note: During a power outage, only your telephone service will receive power. Your backup battery will not operate your Internet or video services, or your router.

Introduction

Prepare to unleash the full potential of Verizon FiOS TV. This next-generation

TV service, with its Interactive Programming Guide, delivers more entertainment choices to your TV screen than ever before. Flip through your favorite channels with the click of a button. Or search by actor or title, in a flash.

But that’s just the beginning. With FiOS TV, you can enjoy advances in entertainment like High Definition TV and Digital Video Recording.

FiOS TV is the latest technology. It’s exciting. And it’s easy to use. Just a few clicks of the remote are all it takes to get started. Keep this Guide handy while watching TV. It contains an overview of the most important features of the

FiOS TV IPG and remote control.

• The MENU button takes you to the Main Menu of the Verizon FiOS TV IPG.

• Any on-screen item highlighted in green can be selected by pressing the

OK button.

• Use the four ARROW buttons to move the highlight to the right, left, up or down. Once the item you want is highlighted, press OK to select it.

• Press EXIT at any time, to exit the menu and return to watching TV.

High Definition Television (HDTV)

DVR Set Top Box).

Easily search the TV Listings for shows being offered in HDTV. They are identified by an HD symbol at the end of the program description, and can easily be found using the

HDTV category in the Search Menu.

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

With the DVR Set Top Box from

Verizon FiOS TV, you can record a favorite show — or an entire series — with just a couple of clicks on your remote. You can also use your remote to control live TV. That’s right: pause, rewind, then fast-forward through the show you’re watching.

43

DVR (continued)

The Verizon FiOS TV DVR has dual-tuner capability, so you can record two programs at the same time, or watch one program while recording another.

Record an upcoming show by finding it in the TV Listings, highlighting it and then pressing the REC button on your Remote Control. Recording takes place automatically.

Smart SERIES RECORDING lets you record every episode of your favorite series automatically — even if they’re shown at different times and on different days.

View shows you’ve recorded by pressing the DVR button on your Remote and selecting a show for viewing. Or select RECORDED TV from the Menu.

Not sure if you have the FiOS TV DVR? You’ll know that you do if

RECORDED TV appears on the Menu. (For a more complete description of

DVR features, see pages 51–57.)

Settings

The Settings Menu allows you to:

• Define your favorite channels, which can be easily accessed by pressing the button on the remote.

• Remove channels you don’t want to see in your channel lineup.

• Choose a different language for the TV Listings text and for TV audio.

• Receive messages from Verizon FiOS TV.

• Set up Parental Controls with a personalized PIN.

• Change audio output characteristics. (See Quick Tips on page 46.)


Parental Controls

The FiOS TV IPG provides the ability to control and manage the programs and content that come into your home.

With Parental Controls, it’s easy to:

• Selectively block programming by channel, rating or category.

• Selectively block Pay Per View and VOD purchases.

• Set up two different user-defined

PINs (one for purchases and one to block programs).

• Hide adult programming from the TV Listings.

When programs with a particular rating level are blocked, the IPG automatically blocks the higher ratings.

Also, if you have the DVR Set Top Box, programs recorded with a PIN require the PIN to be entered, in order to play back the recorded program.

Quick Tips: How Do I...

Access Video on Demand (VOD)?

Video On Demand is programming that is available for you to watch anytime

(and as many times as you like) within a set rental period.

1. Push the On Demand button (or choose Channel 900 from the

TV Listings) to see the VOD titles that are currently available.

2. To view a program, use or on the remote to highlight the program you want to watch and press OK.

Purchase Pay Per View programs?

Pay Per View allows you to see the latest hit events in just a couple of easy steps with your remote. To see what’s playing:

1. Select SEARCH from the Main Menu and then select PAY PER VIEW

(located under the SEARCH BY CATEGORY section).

2. Select NEW SEARCH and use or to scroll through the event list.

3. Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the program you want to watch and press the OK button.

4. Select ORDER to order the program.

5. Select RENT NOW to confirm your order.

Use the Digital Video Recorder (DVR)?

If you have the DVR Set Top Box (STB) with your FiOS TV service, it’s a snap to record a TV show or even an entire series — without tapes. The programs are stored directly on your STB. You can rewind or pause live TV — making it

TV on your time.

You’ll know that you have DVR capability if RECORDED TV appears on the

Main Menu.

To record a show that is currently playing, press REC.

To play a recorded show:

1. Select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu.

2. Use or to highlight a program that you want to watch from the list of recorded programs and press OK.

3. Select PLAY.

46


Use the DVR (continued)

To Pause/Rewind/Fast-Forward a recorded show:

Use the PAUSE, REW, FFWD, STOP and PLAY buttons on your remote to control playback of a recorded program, exactly as you would with a VCR.

For a more complete description of DVR features, see pages 51–57 of your

Verizon FiOS TV User Guide.

Note: VOD programs cannot be recorded.

View a program in High Definition TV (HDTV)?

More and more people are entering the new era of High Definition Television — and FiOS TV can be your gateway. If you have an HD-ready TV, and if you chose either the High Definition or DVR Set Top Box, then you’re ready to enjoy the incredible picture quality this new technology has to offer.

Shows being offered in HDTV are identified in the TV Listings by the HD symbol at the end of the program description.

To find programs in HD:

Select SEARCH from the Main Menu and then select HDTV (located under the SEARCH BY CATEGORY section) or refer to the channel lineup to see where you can find the specially designated HD channels.

Channel surf?

With the IPG, you can zip through channels quickly. Just press and hold the

CH button on the remote until you see the title of a show you want to watch, then release.

Block out material that’s not suitable for children?

Many parents are concerned about the programming their children watch.

Our Parental Controls feature lets you do something about it.

To get started:

1. Select SETTINGS from the Main Menu and then select

PARENTAL CONTROLS.

2. Create a Personal Identification Number (PIN) using the numeric buttons on your remote. Press OK on the remote. This PIN is used for unlocking blocked channels, ratings, programs or purchases.

3. Re-enter your PIN to confirm. Press OK.

47


Parental Controls (continued)

You can now block access to shows either by rating or by channel. You can also block unauthorized Pay Per View and VOD purchases and choose to hide or show adult titles.

1. Use the or want to block.

ARROW buttons to highlight each channel you

2. Press OK to add the lock next to the channel. Only the channels that have a lock will require a PIN to unlock.

3. Once you have selected the channel you would like to block, highlight NEXT to block shows by rating.

4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the rest of the settings.

Set a Reminder?

Find a show you want to watch in the future using the TV Listings, the Mini-Guide or any of the Search functions. Select the show and press OK. Then select

SET REMINDER and press OK. The IPG will remind you with an on-screen message two minutes before the show begins. To cancel the Reminder, select CLEAR REMINDER and press OK.

Shows for which Reminders have been set appear in the program listings with the symbol in front of their titles.

Note: Since the FiOS TV DVR gives you the ability to schedule a program to record automatically, you won’t ever have to miss a show you want to watch.

Just highlight a show you want to watch in the future and press REC on your remote control. You can then decide if you want to record the entire series, and whether to add padding at the beginning or end of the show.

Create and use a list of my Favorite Channels?

1. Press on the remote. You’ll see a program listing made up of all available channels.

2. Use the or ARROW buttons to highlight each channel you want included on your list.

3. Press OK to add a check mark next to it. Only the checked channels appear in your Favorite Channels list.

48


Select one of my Favorite Channels?

What if you’d like to go directly to the channels you watch most often, rather than scanning through ones you rarely, if ever, watch?

Here’s how to do that:

1. Press (Favorites button) on the remote. You’ll see a program listing made up of only your Favorite Channels.

2. Choose a program to watch by scrolling with the

ARROW buttons and pressing OK.

or

Edit my Favorite Channels list?

Press the button on your remote. Choose MY FAVORITES and use the or ARROW buttons to highlight each channel in turn. Then press OK to add (or delete) a check mark next to it. Only the checked channels appear in the Favorites list.

Recorder


Digital Video Recording lets you control the show

Your FiOS TV Digital Video Recorder represents an entirely new way to enjoy watching television. You can pause and rewind live TV — and even record one show while watching another. It puts you in control of your TV viewing schedule, enabling you to watch what you want, when you want.

Getting Started

Using the Remote Control

Your remote control has special buttons designed for managing all the features of the DVR.

Use the remote control buttons (PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, REC, REW, FFWD) just as you would on a VCR, to control digital recording and playback of recorded programs and live TV.

Several other buttons (SKIP BACK, SKIP FORWARD, LIVE TV) have exclusive DVR functions, which are described in this Guide.

Recording Capacity

Your DVR is designed to record up to 120 hours of standard definition digital

TV programming. Recording analog or HDTV programs will substantially reduce this capacity (due to the format of analog programming and the much larger amount of information in an HDTV broadcast stream).

Selecting an Item with the Remote Control

In this Section, “Select” means to highlight an on-screen item by moving to it with the ARROW buttons and then pressing OK.

Recording TV

Record a Show That’s Currently Playing

Record the show you’re watching by pressing REC on the remote. A red indicator appears in the upperright corner of the screen for a few seconds to let you know that recording has started. Since the

DVR continuously stores in its memory the channel that you’re watching from the time you first tune it in, the portion of the show that you watched prior to pressing the REC button will also be recorded, up to the limit of the internal memory. (Program limits: Standard Definition =

70 minutes; High Definition = 18 minutes)


Schedule Recording of an Upcoming Show or Series

Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the show you wish to record in the TV

Listings. Or use SEARCH to find and select a show. Press REC on your remote. A red dot will appear after the show title in the listings.

Shrek 2 11/10 1 Hr 32 Min example

If the show is part of a series, you can schedule recording of each episode of the entire series by pressing REC a second time. With our smart

SERIES RECORDING feature, each show in the series will be automatically recorded, even if its time slot or length is changed by the broadcaster.

Three red dots indicate that SERIES RECORDING has been scheduled

(pressing REC a third time will cancel the scheduled recording).

Desperate Housewives 11/10 1 Hr 0 Min example

You can choose whether to record only first-run episodes, whether to add padding at the beginning or end of a show, or whether to permanently save a show.

In addition, a SERIES PRIORITY feature lets you rank the series you want to record, so that the DVR automatically resolves schedule conflicts, before they occur.

Review or Cancel Scheduled

Recordings of Shows or Series

Select RECORDED TV from the MENU. The list of shows scheduled to be recorded can be seen under the heading

SCHEDULED. Or choose

SERIES MANAGER and then

SCHEDULED SERIES to see a list of series that are scheduled for recording. You will also see a reminder about how much recording capacity you have used.

To cancel a scheduled recording, select the show or series to be cancelled.

Select CANCEL RECORDING or CANCEL SERIES, depending on which you choose to cancel. Press EXIT on your remote to resume watching live TV.

Recording TV (continued)

Play a Recorded Show

Select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu. Highlight a program that you want to watch on the list of recorded programs, press the OK button and select PLAY.

Pause/Rewind/Fast-Forward a Recorded Show

Use the PAUSE, REW, FFWD, SKIP BACK, SKIP

FORWARD, STOP and PLAY buttons on your remote to control playback of a recorded program, exactly as you would with a VCR. When you use any of these buttons, the Progress Bar (see Progress

Bar on page 56) will always appear, to show you exactly where you are in the program.

Keep or Delete a Recorded Show

Select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu. Highlight a program that you want to delete from the list of DVR RECORDINGS and select ERASE RECORDING.

Once the recording space becomes full, the DVR will automatically delete the oldest shows, to make space for new recordings. To prevent the DVR from deleting a recording when it needs more space, select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu, choose a program that you want to keep and then select the

SAVE UNTIL button.

Record High Definition TV Shows

Recording a show broadcast in HDTV is accomplished in the same way as recording a normal TV show (see Recording TV on page 52). Note: Due to the larger amount of information in an HDTV broadcast, your DVR will hold fewer hours of HDTV programming.

54


Record Pay Per View Programs

A Pay Per View program can be recorded with the DVR for later viewing.

Simply press the REC button on your remote when the Pay Per View program begins. You can also schedule future Pay Per View shows to be automatically recorded. Just choose the PURCHASE AND RECORD option when selecting a show. It will automatically be recorded and ready for you to watch when you want.

Dual-tuner Feature

Your Verizon FiOS TV Set Top Box is equipped with dual tuners, so you can:

• Record two different shows at the same time, even while watching an earlier recorded show.

• Record a show while watching a Video On Demand movie.

• Record one show while watching a different live show.

Controlling Live TV with the DVR

How the DVR Handles Live TV

Whenever you tune in to a channel on FiOS TV, the DVR instantly begins storing the show in its internal memory and will continue to do so until you tune to a different channel. At this point, it discards the previous channel’s show and begins storing the new one. Once the internal memory is full, the DVR will progressively store the most recent portion of that channel’s programming, discarding the oldest. This memory technology allows you to control live TV in the ways described below.

Pause or Resume Live TV; Frame Advance

Press PAUSE on your remote to “freeze” the TV show you’re watching. Pressing the PAUSE button repeatedly will advance the video one frame at a time. When you’re ready, press PLAY to resume the show where you left off.

Rewind or Fast-Forward Live TV

Press REW on your remote to rewind the show you’re watching to an earlier point in time. (The DVR continues to store the live broadcast in its memory.) You can only rewind as

55


Controlling Live TV with the DVR (continued)

far back in time as when you first tuned in to this channel, up to the limit of the internal memory. Press PLAY to resume watching from the desired point in the show.

Press FFWD to fast-forward a previously paused live TV show. Press PLAY to resume watching.

Pressing REW or FFWD up to four times allows you to increase the speed at which you rewind or fast-forward a program. Press once for 3x speed, twice for 15x, three times for 60x and four times for 300x.

Forward or Reverse

Press PAUSE, then FFWD or REW for playback in slow-motion, fast-forward or rewind effect.

Replay Live TV

Press the SKIP BACK button on your Remote for an instant replay of the last seven seconds of the show you’re watching, whether it’s live TV or a previously recorded show.

Resume Watching Live TV

If you’re watching a program delayed by pausing or rewinding live TV, pressing the FiOS TV button jumps the show forward to the point currently being broadcast.

Progress Bar

The Progress Bar (shown below) appears whenever you pause, rewind or fast-forward a live or recorded program. It shows how much of the current show is stored in memory (orange bar), as well as what point of the show you’re viewing now (white line) and how far behind the live broadcast you are (end of orange bar).
