Important Tips for Safe Operation
Cox Business uses several digital receiver models. All are manufactured by Motorola
and include the ability to manually turn power ON/OFF, channel UP/DOWN and
volume UP/DOWN from buttons on the front of the digital receiver.
Please follow these important tips for safe operation of your digital receiver.
Read and Retain Your User’s Guide
It is important to read all of the instructions before you operate this equipment. Pay
particular attention to the safety precautions. You’ll find your Cox Business TV User’s
Guide is a user-friendly reference for any questions you may have. Remember that you
can also visit us online at www.cox.com for additional resources.
Don’t Move the Digital Receiver
The digital receiver is really a computer that communicates with our network. It is set up
to operate from only one cable outlet in your establishment. If you move the digital
receiver, it is possible that it may not work properly in its new location. If you must
move the digital receiver to a new cable outlet location, please contact Cox Business
customer service at (866) 272-5777.
Safeguard Your Equipment
Avoid personal injury and damage to your equipment. Place all electronic equipment
on a flat surface that is sturdy enough to support the size and weight of your
equipment. Be sure your equipment is located close enough to an electrical outlet to
accommodate the length of the power cord. Be sure your equipment is placed such that
it has adequate ventilation.
CAUTION: An overextended cord can cause wires to fray and fail.
CAUTION: An unstable surface can cause equipment to fall.
CAUTION: Poor ventilation can cause equipment to overheat and fail.
Keep Your Equipment Clean
Dust can interfere with and damage your equipment and so can cleaning supplies! Do
not use a liquid cleaner or an aerosol cleaner directly on the surfaces. Use a damp
cloth or a cleaner designed specifically for electronics.
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug all equipment from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION: Dust removers or any magnetic/static cleaning device may harm your
equipment.
Avoid Contact with Liquid or Moisture
Placing your equipment on a wet surface or placing wet objects on top of your
equipment can cause electrical damage. Do not place beverages on your equipment.
5
Let Your Equipment “Breathe”
Your equipment has openings for ventilation that protect it from overheating. To ensure
the reliability of your equipment, do not obstruct the openings.
• Do not place other equipment, lamps, books or any objects on top of this equipment.
• Do not place this equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or any similar surface.
• Do not place this equipment over a radiator or a heat register.
• Do not place this equipment in an enclosure, such as a bookcase or equipment rack,
unless the installation provides proper ventilation.
Keep animals away from your electrical equipment. Animals, especially cats, can be
attracted to the warmth of the digital receiver for napping. The equipment cannot
“breathe” with the vents blocked, and it will overheat.
Avoid Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Never push objects through the openings in this equipment.
CAUTION: Objects placed through the openings of your equipment can touch
dangerous voltage points or cause electrical shock or fire.
Use Appropriate Voltage and Frequency
Operate this equipment only from an electrical outlet that has the voltage and
frequency that the equipment label indicates.
CAUTION: Do not overload electrical outlets and extension cords. A power surge
protector is recommended for use with your equipment.
Make Sure Your Equipment Is Properly Grounded
This equipment has a two-prong plug. It is “grounded” when the plug is inserted
properly into a grounded, two-socket electrical outlet. This plug is polarized and it has
one wide prong and one narrow prong. This plug fits only one way. If you are unable
to insert this plug fully into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the old outlet.
CAUTION: Do not force your two-pronged plug into an electrical outlet. Contact an
electrician if your plug does not fit fully into the outlet.
Protect Your Electrical Cords
Foot traffic damages electrical cords and cords may trip an unwary person. Placing
objects on or against the cords may damage the cords. Watch for wear and tear,
particularly where cords plug in at the outlet and where cords exit the equipment.
CAUTION: Cords can trip an unwary person; frayed and worn cords can be a fire
hazard.
CAUTION: Allow only qualified personnel to service your electronic equipment.
CAUTION: Do not open the cover of this equipment. Contact Cox Business customer
support — (866) 272-5777 — if your Cox Business TV equipment
requires service.
6
CAUTION: Do not place a magnet or any type of magnetic/static dust removal
device on or near this equipment. Magnetic/static devices may affect the
operation of this equipment.
Damage That Requires Service
If your equipment has damage that requires service, unplug your equipment from the
electrical outlet. Refer all service to qualified service personnel when any of the
following occurs:
• There is damage to the power cord or plug.
• Liquid enters the equipment.
• A heavy object falls on the equipment.
• There is exposure to rain or water.
• Operation is not normal, even after attempts to rectify as outlined in this guide.
• The equipment is dropped or the cabinet of this equipment is damaged.
• This equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in proper operating
condition.
To set up a repair appointment, contact Cox Business customer support —
