apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the 

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use 

caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury 

from tip-over. 

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 

unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is 

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, 

such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or 

objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to 

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

INSTALLATION

The installation of your set-top should be carried out by a qualified installer and should 

conform to local codes.

Note to the installer

This reminder is provided to call the attention of the cable-TV-system installer to 

Section 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (USA), which provides guidelines for 

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to 

the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This digital set-top has been manufactured 

and tested with your safety in mind. 

However, improper use can result in 

potential electric shock or fire hazards. 

To avoid defeating the safeguards that 

have been built into your set-top, please 

observe the precautions discussed in this 

document.

Warnings on your set-top

The lightning flash with 

arrowhead symbol, within a 

triangle, is intended to alert you 

to the presence of uninsulated 

“dangerous” voltages within 

your set-top’s enclosure that 

may be of sufficient magnitude 

to constitute a risk of electric 

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a 

triangle is intended to alert you 

to the presence of important 

instructions in the literature 

accompanying your set-top.

Other warnings

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC 

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER 

OF YOUR SET-TOP.  

THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE 

PARTS INSIDE IT.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE 

THIS SET-TOP TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING 

UNLESS YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO 

SO BY PACE. REFER ALL SERVICING TO 

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

SERVICING THE SET-TOP YOURSELF 

WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

In addition to the Important Safety 

Instructions, please read the Safety 

Information below.

Power sources

You must operate your set-top only from 

the type of power source indicated on 

the marking label. If you are not sure of 

the type of power supply to your home, 

consult your dealer or local power 

company.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension 

cords or other power outlets as this can 

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Risk of fire or scorching

Never place naked flame sources, such as 

lighted candles, on your set-top.

Placement and mounting

Do not place your set-top on an unstable 

or uneven surface. Your set-top may fall, 

causing serious injury to a child or adult 

and serious damage to your set-top. If 

you mount your set-top, for example to a 

wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturer’s 

instructions and use a mounting accessory 

recommended by the manufacturer. See 

also item 12 in the Important Safety 

Instructions.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of your 

set-top are provided for ventilation, to 

ensure reliable operation of your set-top 

and to protect it from overheating.

•  never block the ventilation openings by 

placing your set-top on a bed, sofa, rug 

or other similar surface;

•  never cover the ventilation openings 

with items such as newspapers, table-

cloths or curtains;

•  do not place your set-top in a built-in 

installation such as a bookcase or 

rack unless proper ventilation is 

provided or you have adhered to the 

manufacturer’s instructions;

•  maintain a minimum distance of 

3 inches around your set-top for 

sufficient ventilation.

See also item 7 in the Important Safety 

Instructions.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of 

your set-top is 32-104°F. If the ambient 

temperature around your set-top falls 

outside this range, you must correct this in 

order for your set-top to work correctly 

and safely. For example, if the temperature 

is too high, switch on the air conditioning.

Water and moisture

Do not expose this set-top to dripping 

or splashing and ensure that no objects 

filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed 

on your set-top. See also item 5 in the 

Important Safety Instructions.

Entry of objects and liquids

Never push objects of any kind into 

your set-top through openings as they 

may touch dangerous voltage points or 

short-out parts that could result in fire 

or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any 

kind on your set-top.

Power lines

You must not locate an outside antenna 

system in the vicinity of overhead power 

lines or other electric light or power 

circuits, or where it can fall into such 

power lines or circuits. When installing 

an outside antenna system, you must 

take extreme care to avoid touching such 

power lines or circuits, as contact with 

them might be fatal.

Outdoor antenna grounding

Be sure that any outside antenna or 

cable system connected to your set-top 

is grounded so as to provide some 

protection against voltage surges and 

static charges that have built up. Article 

810 of the National Electrical Code (USA), 

ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with 

regard to proper grounding of the mast 

and supporting structure, grounding of the 

lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, 

size of grounding conductors, location 

of antenna-discharge unit, connection to 

grounding electrodes and requirements 

for the grounding electrode. See the 

diagram below.

(Example antenna grounding as per 

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70)

Transporting

Move the combination of set-top and 

cart with care. Quick stops, excessive 

force and uneven surfaces may cause 

the combination of set-top and cart 

to overturn. See also item 12 in the 

Important Safety Instructions.

Lightning

For added protection for your set-top 

during a lightning storm, or when it is left 

unattended and unused for long periods 

of time, disconnect the antenna, cable 

system and telecommunication line cord 

from your set-top. See also item 13 in the 

Important Safety Information.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, 

be sure that the service technician 

has used replacement parts specified 

by the manufacturer or that have the 

same characteristics as the original part. 

Unauthorized substitutions may result 

in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 

See also item 14 in the Important Safety 

Instructions.

Safety check

Upon completion of any servicing or 

repairs to your set-top, ask the service 

technician to perform safety checks to 

determine that your set-top is in its 

proper operating condition. See also item 

14 in the Important Safety Instructions.

SAVE THIS INFORMATION FOR 

FUTURE REFERENCE

Regulatory 

information

CAUTION: Do not attempt to 

modify your set-top without 

written authorization from the 

manufacturer. Unauthorized 

modification could void your 

authority to operate your set-top.

Note

Your set-top has been tested and found 

to comply with the limits for a Class B 

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 

provide reasonable protection against 

harmful interference in a residential 

installation. Your set-top generates, 

uses and can radiate radio-frequency 

energy and, if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, may 

cause harmful interference to radio 

communications.

However, there is no guarantee 

that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. If your set-top 

does cause harmful interference to 

radio or television reception, which can 

be determined by turning your set-top 

off and on, you are encouraged to try 

to correct the interference by one or 

more of the following measures:

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving 

antenna.

•  Increase the separation between 

your set-top and the receiver.

•  Connect your set-top to an outlet 

on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected.

•  Consult your dealer or an 

experienced radio/TV technician for 

help.
