Warnings on the power supply unit

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

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 box’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 box.

To ensure correct operation, use this set-top box only with the Paceapproved power supply unit provided. If you use an unapproved alternative, you will invalidate the warranty.

Other warnings

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover of your settop box. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it.

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.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not expose this set-top box to rain or moisture.

On the rear panel of your set-top box there is a tamper-evident label that states ‘Warranty void if broken or removed’.

SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety Information below.

Power sources

The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a label on its base.

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 AC 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 set-top 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.

Lightning

For added protection for your set-top box during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect your set-top box from the power supply and disconnect the cable system from your set-top box. See also item 13 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 set-top 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, make sure there is sufﬁcient ventilation (see below) and that your set-top box is not directly on top of or underneath other equipment.

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 settop box on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Place it on a hard, ﬂat surface.

• Never cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, or curtains.

3 in.

• You can place your set-top box near other consumer electronics devices, such as stereo ampliﬁers or televisions, but you must not place it directly on top or underneath them.

• Do not place your set-top box in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and you have adhered to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Maintain a minimum distance of three inches around your

set-top box for sufﬁcient ventilation.

See also item 7 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Water and moisture

Do not expose your set-top box to rain or moisture, 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.

Transporting

Move the combination of set-top box and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the combination of set-top box and cart to overturn. See also item 12 in the Important Safety Instructions.

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 12 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Risk of ﬁre or scorching

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

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 box, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that your set-top box is in its proper operating condition. See also item 14 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Safety aspects of connections

Full details of the rear panel are on page 6.

Connecting

Do not connect your set-top box (or any other equipment such as a TV or DVD player) to the power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.

Your set-top box is designed for use only with the power supply unit provided.

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 other than this.

Always connect the 5 volt DC cord from the power supply unit to your settop box before you insert the AC power cord from the power supply unit into the wall AC outlet.

Disconnecting

To disconnect power from your set-top box, always detach the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet (rather than remove the 5 volt cord from your set-top box).

Therefore you must install your set-top box near to the wall AC 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.

To ensure correct operation, use this set-top box only with the Pace-approved power supply unit provided. If you use an unapproved alternative, you will invalidate the warranty.
