I bought it at an ACB auction, but I'll bear this in mind.

Gary,
You need to plug the Apple TV through an HDMI plug to an HD TV. If your
cable box has an HDMI input that can be routed to your TV, that might
work, I don't know. Cable boxes I have seen have HDMI
OUT to go to a TV, and that will not work. You may need to get some help
there from someone who knows what equipment you have.
Once you get the Apple TV connected to a tv and to a sound source,
probably your TV speakers, then you need to get voiceover turned on. I
believe that the first time you start the apple TV, it will speak a
prompt to turn on voiceOver using the little remote control. If it has
already been turned on, you may have missed the prompt, but I believe
there is a shortcut to turning it on with the remote. Once you have
voiceover going, you will need to explore the menus some. You will next
need to get it connected to your WI-FI network because everything you
watch on it comes through the internet. I believe that you will
next need to enter an Apple-ID and password into the unit.
You might try doing some Google searches to see if anyone has instructions
for blind persons. The PDF user's guide is all right but some of the
steps are shown in pictures. It is hard to know how much more to
try to say without knowing your setup. If you bought it at an Apple
Store, they are pretty good to answer questions as well, although this can
vary.
Best regards,
Steve

Can someone tell me how to install it? I've never seen one of these
things
before, but what I've seen, it's pretty small. Someone told me that you
plug it into HDMi of my cable box, and that's it's accessible using
voiceover. I'm sorry that this may be offtopic, but I just want something
for starters. I may get an IPhone in the near future.

No, you do not need an iPhone to make an apple tv work.
