ABC GE-8 STARGUIDE III SATELLITE RECEIVER
QUICK START
PLEASE REVIEW THIS QUICK START GUIDE IN ITS ENTIRETY
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR RECEIVER.
•
It is critical to make all satellite RF and audio connections prior
to applying AC power to the Starguide receiver.
•
The Starguide III receiver must be powered down before you
install or remove any option cards located in the expansion
ports. None of the cards in the receiver are “hot-swappable”.
•
ABC strongly recommends the use of a Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
LNB for your new Starguide receiver. The Local Oscillator (LO)
stability of your LNB should not exceed 100kHz.
•
If this receiver is designated to supply DC power to the LNB at
your dish, be sure to turn on the LNB VOLTAGE switch on the
back of the receiver.
•
ABC urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) for the Starguide receiver for equipment protection from
power spikes or brownouts. Also consider lightning protection
if you are located in an area susceptible to frequent lightning
storms. A surge suppressor is not sufficient.
•
The ABC Radio Networks New York Technical Services office is
staffed Monday-Friday from 9:00am until 5:00pm ET for
receiver authorization and technical assistance.
