Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Safety Instructions

Note to installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite TV system

installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Safety Tips

• Unplug the monitor from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the monitor manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty.

•Do not place the monitor in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.

•Do not stack the monitor on top of or below other electronic devices.

•Do not drop or impact the monitor. The LCD monitor is fragile and may break.

• Operate the monitor using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the monitor power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.

•Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.

• Make sure that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in accordance with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

•Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

•Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.

• Use an electrical outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. During a lightning storm, or if the monitor is to be left unattended and unused for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect the cable between the monitor and an off-air antenna, if applicable. This will provide some protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

Monitor Description

Monitor Display and Media Box

There are three main components of the LCD monitor - the monitor display, the Media Box, and the power supply.

The monitor display is a flat, thin screen that shows the video. The display includes speakers attached to both sides to play audio and includes an integral stand for table-top mounting.

Note: Remove the film

covering the monitor’s screen.

The Media Box includes the monitor controls and provides the audio/video input connections for your DISH Network satellite receiver and other devices. It connects to the monitor display using a system cable. The Media Box can either be mounted on the back of the monitor display or mounted separately whichever makes getting to the controls or connections easier.

Note: To mount the Media

Box to the display, insert four mounting posts on the Media Box into the matching keyshaped holes on the display back panel and push down to lock in place. To remove the Media Box, press down and hold the locking clip at the bottom of the Media Box while gently pulling the Media Box up and then away from the monitor.
