Audrey is now configured
to access your ISP.
If Audrey has successfully connected
to your ISP, you will see the “set date
and time” screen. Audrey will down-
load the correct time from the Internet.
However, this time may not
be correct for your time zone. Make
any necessary changes on this screen.
Tap “done” to continue. Next, a dialog
box announcing that your Channels
are being updated appears. (Audrey
sets up a default download schedule
to update your Channels, check for
e-mail, and update the time. You can
learn how to modify this schedule
using the Actions Palette onpage 41.)
Although there is a “cancel” button on
this dialog box, we recommend that
you allow Audrey to update your
Channels now so that they work faster
when you access them later. To learn
more about how to use Audrey’s con-
trols and personalize them for your
family, turn to page 17.

Audrey is only compatible with 3Com
USB Ethernet adapters. Audrey will
remind you to connect your 3Com
USB Ethernet adapter (not included)
to the USB port on its back before con-
tinuing. If you have not made this con-
nection, do so by plugging an Ethernet
cable (not included) into an available
Ethernet jack on your cable modem, DSL
modem, or home network Ethernet hub
and into your 3Com USB Ethernet
adapter’s Ethernet jack. Then plug a
USB cable (included with your 3Com
USB Ethernet adapter) into the USB jack
on the adapter and one of Audrey’s two
USB ports. Audrey’s
USB ports are located on its back
and are marked with a USB symbol
(shown below). When these connections
are made, tap “continue.”
