Note to Satellite Dish Installer

Important

This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 2002 National Electrical C ode. Refer to article 810, in particular 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal structure of the dish antenna. Refer also to the 810-2 which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coa xial cable shield be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Safety & Care

YourDIRECTVSystemhasbeendesignedandmanufacturedtostringentqualityandsafety standards.Youshould,however,beawareofthefollowingimportantprecautionsforsafeandoptimal use of the equipment.

Be sure to…

• Read and follow all installation and operating instructions.

• Keep instructions for future reference.

• Heed all warnings on the equipment and in the instructions for your protection.

Cautions…

• Avoid moisture to reduce the risk of ﬁ re or electric shock.  e DIRECTV Receiver should not be

used near water (for example, kitchen sink, bathtub, pool, damp basement). Also, never spill liquid

on the receiver, and do not place vases or other vessels containing liquid on top of it.

• CAUTION: Electric Shock — never attempt to disassemble the DIRECTV Receiver yourself;

always take it to a qualiﬁ ed service person when repair is required. Opening or removing covers

may expose dangerous voltage or other risks, and incorrect reassembly can cause shock when

receiver is subsequently used. Attempted self-repair may also void your warranty. Changes or

modiﬁ cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (by the warranty or

by the manufacturer) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

TIP

We highly recommend

plugging the DIRECTV

Receiver into a surge

protector to prevent

damage from ﬂ uctuations

in your power supply.

• Have your DIRECTV Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself) if:

The receiver does not operate normally when you follow operating instructions as described in this

manual and its T roubleshooting section.

• Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components before plugging

any power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.

• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of ﬁ re or shock.

It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this

manual.

• Always unplug the DIRECTV Receiver, TV and other equipment before you connect or

disconnect any cables.

• Always unplug your DIRECTV Receiver before moving it. Also, unplug it during lightning

storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Protect power cords by routing them so they will not be walked on or pinched in any way.

• Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs ﬁ rmly into their jacks. Also, place

Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides of the TV back panel rather than down the middle once

connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from A/V cables as much as

possible.

Safety & Care

• Do not drop your DIRECTV Receiver and always move it with care.

• Place it on a ﬂ at, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV Receiver on a carpet or other

padded surface. Ensure that the rack or cabinet the receiver is placed on is stable, and not subject to

being tipped over.

• Ensure proper ventilation — the slots on top of the DIRECTV Receiver must be left uncovered

to allow proper airﬂ ow to the unit. Blocking the airﬂ ow to the unit could impair performance or

damage your receiver and other components.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV Receiver. Also, do

not stack the receiver on top of a “hot component ” such as an audio power ampliﬁ er.

• Avoid heat — do not place the DIRECTV Receiver near heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves or other appliances.

• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV Receiver (other than the

DIRECTV

Access Card as detailed in this chapter).

• Clean your receiver with a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner, removing

dust from the ventilation holes on the top and bottom. Avoid alcohol or

oil-based furniture solvents — a non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner/polisher is recommended.

• Use only manufacturer authorized accessories and parts.
