Safety and Warning

10.LOCATION

Place the receiver indoors to avoid exposing it to lightning, rain or sun. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. Make sure it has more than 10 cm clearance from any appliances susceptible to electromagnetic influences, such as a TV or a VCR. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you have followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting. Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.

11.LIGHTNING, STORM, or NOT IN USE

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna during a thunderstorm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-surges.

12.EXTRANEOUS OBJECTS

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts.

13.REPLACEMENT of PARTS

When the replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.

Warning

1. Follow these directions in order not to damage the power cord or plug. Do not modify or process the power cord or plug arbitrarily. Do not bend or twist the power cord too much. Make sure to disconnect the power cord with the plug held. Keep heating appliances as far as possible from the power cord in order to prevent the cover vinyl from melting.

2. Follow these directions. Failure to follow one of them may cause electrical shock. Do not open the main body. Do not insert metals or inflammable objects inside the product. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Disconnect the power cord in case of lightning.

3. Do not use the product when it is out of order. If you continue to use the product when defective, a serious damage can be caused to it. Make sure to contact your local product distributor if the product is out of order.

4. Please do not insert metal or alien substance into the slots for the modules and smart cards. In doing so can cause damage to the STB and reduce its life span.
