Getting Started

Watch this video for a quick IM-Home software download tutorial.

The first step in getting started requires that you activate your IM-Home 3.0 Universe Member Account.  This step is most important because it ties your IM-Home unit to your initial free User License.  Please follow the steps below.

  • NOTE: If you have purchased licenses for other family members, please see attached topic titled “Additional User Licenses”

1. Install the IM-Home 3.0 Universe software on your PC or Mac.

2. Connect the IM-Home box to your computer with the USB cable provided.

3. Enter your UserID and Password.  If you purchased the IM-Home unit from the IMHome.org website, you should have created your own Trainee UserID and Password.  If you have purchased this unit directly from your Provider and do not know this information, you should contact your Provider to retrieve it.

  • NOTE: You should have received an auto generated email with this information.  If you did not, please contact your IM Provider.
