- Remote control
- 2x AAA batteries
- HDMI cable
- Power supply

Modern interface
The MAG540 kit has everything you need to plug in the device and enjoy your favorite movies and shows from the get-go. It takes no more than 10 minutes to connect.
The first time the STB is booted, it should be connected to the SRC-4015-1 remote control. Do this by simultaneously pressing two buttons on the remote and holding them for three seconds.
When the remote detects the device, a green light on it will turn on. You may then configure the four special buttons on the remote to perform unique functions and control other devices in your home, such as a TV or an air conditioner. This takes less than a minute.
If you want to use your remote to control the STB only, it can be programmed to bypass other devices operated by IR remote controls.
The programmable remote control has an ergonomic case made of non-slip ABS plastic. It feels comfortable to hold and doesn’t slide out of the hand. The remote has a long life, with buttons designed for 300,000 presses.
You’ll find two AAA batteries included with the device, so you start using it immediately. Please note the two batteries must be of the same type and have the same charge level to prevent the remote control from malfunctioning.
The STB connects to the outlet with a power supply that converts 100–220 V AC to 5 V DC. This accessory is designed to run continuously for 30,000 hours or some 3.5 years. The power supply case is made of durable plastic.
A TV or monitor can connect to the STB with the HDMI cable. With a cable length of 1.5 m, the device can be located anywhere you find convenient.
Also, you’ll receive a user manual that contains detailed recommendations on the device setup and operation, as well as a warranty card. You can also view an electronic version of the manual on our website.
Appearance and ports
The stylish, ergonomic black Cubic case will suit a room with any design.
The power indicator and IR sensor that receives signals from the remote control are located behind the glossy front panel of the device.
You will find two USB 2.0 ports on the left panel for connecting peripherals such as mice, keyboards, or memory cards.
The back panel has the HDMI port, power supply input, Ethernet port, and an Fn button for manually restoring factory settings and managing other program options.
Finally, the sticker with the device’s serial number, MAC address, and manufacture date is located at the bottom panel.
You can verify that the device is genuine by entering its serial number into a form on Infomir’s website. We recommend you check your MAG device and ensure it’s authentic.
