GETTING STARTED
Safety First
Removing the decoder’s cover may lead
to a severe & potentially fatal electric
shock.
This digital decoder has been manufactured to meet
international safety standards. However, safety precautions
must be followed to ensure the safe and reliable operation
of the decoder.
Please take note of the following guidelines to avoid the
risk of an electric shock.
This decoder operates with an external power supply
in the range of 100 to 240V AC, 50/60 Hz. Use a
standard AC wall outlet; a DC power source cannot
be used. Remember that contact with 110-240 Volts
AC power supply can be lethal.
Ensure that all electrical connections are properly
made before connecting the decoder to the power
supply. Always unplug the decoder before connecting
or disconnecting any cables.
Whenever you connect the decoder to the power
supply, always connect the power lead to the power
input connector on the back panel of the decoder
before you connect the power brick to the wall socket
outlet.
Whenever you disconnect the decoder from the
power supply, always remove the power brick from
the wall socket-outlet before you remove the other
end of the lead from the power input connector on
the back panel of the decoder.
Never attempt to repair or reconstruct the decoder
yourself. A serious electric shock may occur if this
decoder is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed
by an unauthorized person.
Be extremely careful if this unit is in contact with
water. Immediately disconnect the power brick if
possible.
DO
If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the decoder
and have it checked by a qualified technician.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up. Do not place the unit next to a radiator or
any heat source and make sure that the air vents are
not covered.
DO NOT
× … expose the decoder to extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight or high humidity.
× … place any objects on top of the decoder in order to
allow air circulation.
