Warning
HUMAX cannot be held responsible for any kind of problems caused by the use of unofficial software. The use of software versions other than HUMAX official software will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advised that only the formal software released from HUMAX should be used in all HUMAX product range.
Caution
To watch Pay Per View programmes, be sure to inform your STB dealer of the STBís and Smart cardís serial numbers. So that they can pair your STB with your Smart card. Otherwise, you cannot watch the programmes because they are scrambled.
Note
When the changed Network Information is sent, Nagravision realizes that the appropriate satellite/cable service information has been changed. And it will re-organize the service information based on the sent Network Information. The message ìNetwork Information updated...î appears on the screen. It is automatically done when changing NIT.
The manufacturer canít change it because it is provided by Nagravision.
When the user watches it, the message may suddenly appear during AV playback and simultaneously updating will proceed. (This happens about once a year.)
Since this is not an error in operating, do not turn off the power.
•Information for TV-Cabo subscriber
When user searchs channels, the channel numbers from 001 to 100 are defined automatically for Nagravision by service provider.
Other channels have the number from 101 in sequence as the receiver searchs the signal.
ïSpecifications are for NA-FOX models.

Reference
1. Connect DiSEqC 1.0
All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennas to be connected to the STB simultaneously.
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.
1.Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector of the DiSEqC switch.
2.Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B input connector of the DiSEqC switch.
3.Do the same for other LNBs.
4.Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the DiSEqC switch and the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.
2. Connect DiSEqC 1.2
Please refer to page GB39.
The Locking Time might take longer than expected during the initial boot if the motorised system is set ìenableî mode.
3. Connect a Satellite antenna
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or through converter box several antennas or LNB of multi-feed equipment.
You can connect a further Sat-receiver(for example analogue), with the receiver of common antenna equipment that has satellite signals.
4. Loop Through
If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB then you can connect it via the loop through. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN on your second STB.
ï F1-FOX models are not applicable.

5. Software Upgrade
HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best software applications.
Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced applications are added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded.
In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up to date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com.
It is recommended that users register to HCSA(HUMAX Customer Service Area) and periodically check for the availability of software upgrade.
There are three methods to upgrade the software:
(a)set-top box to set-top box download(copies the software of the main unit into slave unit);
(b)pc to set-top box download(downloads the software directly from pc to the model requiring upgrade);
(c)OTA over-the-air(downloads the software where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through satellite system).
Over The Air(OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software upgrade can take place by "beaming" latest software versions over the air via satellite systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to different satellites having different footprints(area where the signal can be received).
SUSS(TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA. The software upgrade via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances:
1)the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
2)the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite system;
3)the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the same satellite that the manufacturer uses.
• Note : CR-FOX complies with the OTA type of CryptoWorks.
