Precautions:

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE: Do not attempt to repair your HDTV Tuner yourself. Removing the top cover of the HDTV Tuner may cause fire or electric shock.

If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the HDTV Tuner from the wall and contact a qualified service professional:

• The power cord or plug is damaged.

• Liquid is spilled on the product, or objects have fallen into the product.

• The product does not operate as described in the instructions.

• The product has been damaged or dropped.

• The product displays an abnormal condition.

• The power cord or plug is damaged.

Use the correct external power source: The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your HP authorized service provider or local power company.

Overloading: Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.

Observe extension cord ratings: If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.

WARNING: Do not place any objects on top of the HDTV Tuner. Spilled water or metal objects may cause short circuit, fire, or electric shock if they penetrate into the housing of the HDTV Tuner.

2 Safety

Never use a damaged power cord. Do not place power cords in areas where they can be pinched, stepped on, or otherwise compromised. Heavy objects, heat, chemicals, or tensile force may damage the power cord and cause fire or electric shock.

Do not change or open the back cover. Removing the back cover of the HDTV Tuner may cause fire or electric shock. Contact the manufacturer when inspection or adjustment is required.

Do not use the HDTV Tuner if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact the manufacturer immediately. Do not try to repair the HDTV Tuner on your own.

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
