Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your R3S, place the unit on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Upon powering on for the first time, follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your local Wi-Fi network. For the best experience, download the Oktiv app on your smartphone, which simplifies the process of grouping devices and managing streaming service credentials.

Regarding care, keep the unit away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Dust the exterior with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to preserve the walnut finish. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents as these may damage the natural wood veneer. Periodically check for firmware updates via the settings menu to ensure your system has the latest streaming protocol support.
