Safety precautions

Thank you for choosing this product. This manual will guide you for the proper operation of your set top box. Before operating the set top box, please read this manual thoroughly. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Read the corresponding instructions of this handbook prior to the first use of the device, even when the usage of electronic devices is familiar to you.

IMPORTANT - Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating.

Power Source

Always use the provided AC adapter.

Operate only from the power source specified on the AC adapter.

The power adapter may become hot during normal operation. This is not a malfunction.

Please make sure that the adapter is not covered while in operation. Leave a space of 15 cm (minimum) around the AC adapter.

The rating information and safety caution of the AC adapter are provided on the adapter.

WARNING: When the set is not in use for a long time, disconnect from the power.

Power Cord

Do not place the unit or a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.

Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock.

Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help.

Position

Please do not place the unit in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in a location near heat sources.

The device should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the device. Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the device.

The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the device into closed areas and do not cover it.

Please avoid contact of the device with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near a bath or swimming pools.

Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the device in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the device.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the device and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

The device should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the device.

Batteries

CAUTION: Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

WARNING: Incorrect installation of batteries may cause battery leakage and corrosion, resulting in damage to the remote control.

Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Do not dispose of batteries with normal household waste, take to a local recycling centre.

CAUTION: Insert the batteries / rechargeable batteries in the correct polarity. Don’t try to recharge non rechargeable batteries and under no circumstances throw them into fire. Danger of explosion.

Do not use unequal batteries (old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) simultaneously.

If you will not use the device for a long time, remove the batteries and store the device in a dry and dust free place.

Improper use of batteries may cause an explosion or leakage. If the batteries have leaked, use gloves and clean the appliance thoroughly with a dry cloth.
