Safety First
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.
Removing cover of the decoder
may lead to a severe & potentially
fatal electric shock.
Be extremely careful if this unit comes into 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 temperature, direct sunlight or high humidity.
× … place any objects on top of the decoder which restrict air circulation.
× … place the decoder on fabric furnishings, carpets or other flammable materials.

Maintenance
If you wish to clean your decoder first disconnect it from the power supply. To clean the decoder, use a soft, dry cloth.
For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth in a weak soap-and-water solution and wring well. After cleaning, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage
the unit’s finishing.
