CONNECTING TO THE AC POWER SUPPLY

You must not plug your set-top box into the power supply until you have connected your set-top
box to the other equipment in your system.

This product is intended to be supplied with an approved listed Pace Direct Plug-In
AC/DC power adapter marked Class 2 or LPS and rated 12V, 1.5A for all IPW8000x series
models.

On the power supply unit there is a label that specifies the correct AC power supply input for it.
Do not connect the power supply unit to any supply voltage other than this.

Always connect the DC cord from the power supply unit to your set-top box before you insert the
power supply unit into the wall socket-outlet.

To disconnect power from your set-top box, always remove the power supply unit from the wall
socket-outlet (i.e., not by removing the DC cord from your set-top box). Therefore you must
install your set-top box near to the wall socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the power supply cord, its plug or its connection, or are not
certain that the electrical outlets you are using are properly wired and grounded, consult
a qualified electrician before proceeding any further.

INSTALLATION

The installation of your set-top box should be carried out by a qualified installer and should
conform to local codes.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of important instructions in the
literature accompanying your set-top box.

Other warnings

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the
cover of your set-top box or its power supply unit. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside them. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this set­top box to rain or moisture. Do not perform any
servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing the
set-top box yourself will invalidate the warranty. On the
base of your set-top box there is a tamper-evident label
that states ‘warranty void if broken or removed’.

Power sources

You must operate your set-top box 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. If you
move your set-top box between locations at different
temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before
you apply power to it.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or other
power outlets as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. To avoid possible damage to your set­top box or to a connected TV or component, all AC
power cords must be plugged into properly wired
outlets. As with all electrical products, connection to
faulty or defective components, or the failure to connect
your set-top box to a properly wired outlet, may cause
sparking, property damage or damage to any TV or
other component connected to your set-top box and
pose a fire hazard.

Risk of fire or scorching

Never place open flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on or adjacent to your set-top box.

Placement and mounting

Do not place your set-top box on an unstable or uneven
surface. Your set-top box may fall, causing serious

injury to a child or adult and serious damage to your
set-top box. If you mount your set-top box, for example
to a wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. See also item 11 in
the Important Safety Instructions.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of your set-top box are
provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
your set-top box and to protect it from overheating.

• never block the ventilation openings by placing your
set-top box on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface;

• never cover the ventilation openings with items such
as newspapers, tablecloths or curtains;

• do not place your set-top box 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 box for sufficient ventilation.

See also item 7 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of your set-top box is
32-104°F. If the ambient temperature around your set­top box falls outside this range, you must correct this in
order for your set-top box to work correctly and safely.
For example, if the temperature is too high, switch on
the air conditioning.

Do not expose this set-top box to dripping or splashing
and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, are placed on your set-top box. See also item 5
in the Important Safety Instructions.

Entry of objects and liquids

Never push objects of any kind into your set-top box
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 set­top box.

Handling

To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do
not pick up or move your set-top box while it is
connected to the power supply. If you want to move
your set-top box, first stop any recording, then turn off
your set-top box and wait 60 seconds before
disconnecting it. You should handle your set-top box
carefully, as any damage you cause to an internal hard
disk (or any other component) will invalidate your
