UPDATES - GETTING THE LATEST FEATURES

WebTV Networks is always working to improve the WebTV service. From time
to time, feature updates will be offered to you at no cost when you connect to the
WebTV service.

To get the latest WebTV service features, select

Update Now

when you see one of

these notices, then press

OK

or

RETURN

.

You may be offered an update the first time you turn on your receiver. Just select

Update Now

and press

OK

or

RETURN

and you’ll be on your way. (The update

process takes about 20-30 minutes.)

As your WebTV service continues to be upgraded, you may

eventually see screens that have changed or have access to features that are not
documented in this guide. While future improvements may render sections of this
guide out-of-date, you can always get the latest instructions from the on-screen
help. For information on using any part of the WebTV service, just select Help
from Web Home or TV Home, then press

OK

or

RETURN

.

ADDING USERS TO YOUR ACCOUNT

You can have up to six users on your account at no extra charge. This includes
the user who signed up for service initially—known as the primary user—plus five
additional, “secondary” users.

Each secondary user can have his or her own e-mail address, password, a
separate list of Favorites, a separate name to use in Chat rooms, and other
personal settings.

The primary user can set up a secondary user for a child to use,

with built-in protections from inappropriate material on the Web.

screen, then press

you about adding users to your account. Select
