2-1 SAFETY
Use of the Receiver is subject to safety rules designed to protect users and their environment.
Furthermore, to gain full satisfaction and maximum performance from your Receiver, the following must be applied::
- Install the receiver indoors away from sunlight and rain: Avoid extremely hot or cold temperatures. Place the receiver and mains unit
away from sources of heat such as radiators or gas/electric heaters. Do not place incandescent objects such as candles close to the
receiver. It is advisable to unplug the antenna during thunderstorms. Even if the receiver and television are unplugged, they can still
be damaged by lightning.
- Place the receiver and mains unit in a dry and well-ventilated place.
- Protect the receiver from damp: Place the receiver and mains unit away from rain, damp and dust. Do not place plants nearby to
avoid any splashes when they are watered. If liquid seeps into the receiver or power adapter, unplug them from the power socket and
contact your distributor.
- Avoid violent shocks: Never use the receiver if it is damaged. Always place your receiver on a flat surface where there is no risk of
being bumped or knocked. Never open the receiver or power unit! There is a risk of electric shock. All work on the receiver must be
carried out by qualified personnel.
- Only use the power unit that is supplied: Connect it to the mains in compliance with the installation instructions in this booklet and
the indications written in the identification label that is fixed on the appliance (voltage, current, frequency of the electricity network). By
precaution, in case of danger, the power adapters act as a cut-off device for the 230V supply. They must be located close to the
appliance and be easy to access.
- Do not place anything on top of the receiver (as it would restrict ventilation): The ventilation slots located on the casing prevent your
receiver from overheating. Do not place any objects such as a piece of cloth or sheet of paper on top of these slots. If you place the
receiver in a compartment, leave a space of at least 10 cm each side and 20 cm in front and behind the receiver.
- Place the receiver out of reach of children: Batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Therefore, do not leave the remote
control unitwithin their reach.
- Fuse: The plug of the AC lead contains a fuse. If you need to change the fuse, always use the type of fuse indicated on the plug.
2-2 CARE AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Interference: Do not place the receiver near appliances that may cause electromagnetic interference (for example, loudspeakers). This
could affect receiver operation and distort the picture or sound.
Hard disk: This unit contains a hard disk. Please wait for the unit to go into standby mode before unplugging and moving it..
2-3 ENVIRONMENT
Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of Sagem Communication. The desire of Sagem Communication is to operate
systems observing the environment and consequently it has decided to integrate environmental performances in the life cycle of its
products, from manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.
2-3-1 PACKAGING

recovery and recycling infrastructures.
To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up locally for this kind of waste.
2-3-2 BATTERIES
If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at appropriate collection points.
2-3-3 THE PRODUCT
The crossed-out waste bin stuck on the product or its accessories means that the product belongs to the family of electrical and
electronic equipments.
In this respect, the European regulations ask you to dispose of it selectively:
-At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.
-At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off centre, selective collection, etc.).
In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an effect on
the environment and human health.

- 3 -
3-1 ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED
Your receiver is supplied with the following parts:
• 1 remote control unit
• 2 batteries (AAA) for the remote control unit
• 1 Scart lead for connection to the television
• 1 AC/DC adapter and power cable
• 1 user manual
3-2 TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA
Very often, to get the best reception, you may simply need to adjust your antenna. Alternatively, you can
connect a second antenna to your system. For further information, please contact your specialised distributor.
3-2-1 Standard outdoor antenna :
It is preferable to use an outside roof antenna that is designed to receive UHF channels between 21 and 69.
However:
• If your building is equipped with an old antenna model, digital channels that are transmitted at high fre-
quencies may be difficult or even impossible to receive. The problem can only be resolved by changing
the antenna.
• If your building is equipped with an antenna system that contains a filter and channel selector, reception
will most probably not work correctly. In this case, you will need to contact the authorities in charge of the
building.
• Some antennas directed towards an analogue transmitter must be re-adjusted towards a digital TV trans-
mitter.
• If you encounter reception problems, you can also try placing the antenna at different heights.
3-2-2 Indoor antenna and antenna installed on a balcony or window :
In ideal reception conditions, this type of antenna is sufficient. However, a few notes and tips are given below:
• Use an antenna that is designed to receive channels 21 to 69.
• Install the antenna close to the window and direct it towards the digital TV transmitter.
• If possible, use an antenna with an amplifier.
