Safety Precautions
This digital video recorder has been manufactured in accordance with international safety
standards. For your own safety, you should read the notes on safety precautions
carefully, and take note of them, before operating your new receiver.
For your own safety, please be sure to follow these safety precautions:
Mains power supply: Connect the unit only to power supplies that have the following outputs: 90-260 V
AC, 50-60 Hz for the main power connector (see page 3, View of the rear panel ).
Connect the unit to the LNB/multi-switch only when the unit is switched off: The digital receiver must
be disconnected from the mains power supply before it is connected to the LNB (Low Noise Block Converter)
or multi-switch (in a multi-party installation). Otherwise, the electronics of the LNB may be damaged.
Connection to the TV set and other peripherals: The receiver must be disconnected from the mains
power supply before using a SCART cable to establish connections to the TV set and other peripherals.
Optimum location: Set up your digital receiver indoors, in an area where it is protected from lightning,
rain water and direct sunshine.
Do not open the unit: Never open the casing, as you are in danger of electrocution!
Protect from humidity: Ensure that no humidity, dampness or liquid can get into the unit. You should
therefore also not position any liquids near the receiver. Do not use any liquid detergents, as these may
damage the unit, and may subject you to high-voltage shock.
Prevent intrusion of foreign matter: The receiver is fitted with small ventilation slots,
small objects could fall into these slots, so please do not put any objects on top of the receiver.
Ensure adequate ventilation: Never cover the ventilation slots on the unit casing. When in operation, the
digital receiver should be placed on a straight and solid base. It should not be placed in direct sunshine
or too close to a heater or radiator. Ensure there is sufficient free space around the unit for air circulation.
Earthing the LNB and satellite antenna: If lightning strikes the antenna, this would be dangerous. Therefore
the LNB on the satellite antenna as well as the antenna itself must be connected to the house/building
earth system.
Protection from lightning: In case of thunderstorms, to prevent damage switch off the receiver, disconnect
from the main power supply, and disconnect the satellite antenna cable from the unit.
Use only original parts and accessories: Use only original parts, or parts recommended by a specialist
retailer. Non-observance of this warning cancels the unit guarantee. Any repairs should only be carried
out by qualified specialist personnel.
Disconnecting power during extended absence: If the appliance is to be unattended for an extended
period of time, e.g. when you go on holidays, you should disconnect it completely from the mains power
supply.
Retain original packaging material: Please retain the original packaging, should it be necessary at some
stage to return the unit.
The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for damage or injury caused
by non-observance of these safety precautions, or by inappropriate handling
of the appliance.
