VidaBox™ Placement
The VidaBox™ should be placed in a well-ventilated area. This will help facilitate the
exchange of heat out of the system, thereby minimizing operating fan noise. At a
minimum, any area with a fan grille should have about four (4) inches of clearance.
This will allow fresh air to circulate through the SLIM™.
Connect the Power Cable F
Connect the Power Cable into the FPower Input. Make sure it is plugged in securely.
Connect the Wireless
Keyboard Receiver H
Then, connect the USB keyboard receiver into any available USB port. The keyboard
receiver should be placed in an open area for best performance. Like the wireless
module, you will want to connect it in the back HUSB Ports using the included USB
extension cable.
Connect the Remote Receiver H
Next, connect the USB remote receiver into any available USB port. This adapter
needs a clear line-of-sight to your entire room.
Connect the FM Antennas M
Connect the two included FM Antennas into the MFM Antenna Inputs. Make sure
they are connected securely.

wish to connect this in the front CUSB ports for easy access, and store it away when
it’s not in use to minimize clutter.
