SAFETY
INFORMATION

To ensure you use this product safely,
please read all the safety information
included in this document.

This digital adapter has been manufactured
and tested with your safety in mind. However,
improper use can result in potential electric
shock or fire hazards. To avoid defeating the
safeguards that have been built into your
digital adapter, please observe the precautions
discussed in this document.

The model number and serial number of your
digital adapter are on a label on its base.

OTHER WARNINGS

Do not remove the cover of your digital
adapter. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside it.

Do not perform any servicing unless you are
qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel. Servicing your digital adapter
yourself will invalidate the warranty.

On the rear panel of your digital adapter there
is a tamper-evident label that states “Warranty
void if broken or removed”.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose your digital adapter to rain or moisture.

To avoid possible damage to your digital
adapter or to a connected TV or component, all
AC power cords must be plugged into properly
wired outlets. As with all electrical products,
connection to faulty or defective components,
or the failure to connect your digital adapter to
a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking,
property damage or damage to any TV or other
component connected to your digital adapter

and pose a fire hazard.

Risk of fire or scorching

Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on or adjacent to your digital adapter.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of your
digital adapter is 32-104°F. If the ambient
temperature around your digital adapter falls
outside this range, you must correct this in
order for your digital adapter to work correctly
and safely. For example, if the temperature is
too high, switch on the air conditioning.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of your
digital adapter are provided for ventilation,
to ensure reliable operation of your digital
adapter and to protect it from overheating.

• Neverblocktheventilationopeningsby

placing your digital adapter on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface.

• Nevercovertheventilationopeningswith

items such as newspapers, tablecloths or
curtains.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to modify your digital adapter
without written authorization from the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification
could void your authority to operate your
digital adapter.

Failure to heed the Safety Information
provided by failing to connect to a properly
wired outlet may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.

SAVE THIS INFORMATION FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE

REGULATORY
INFORMATION

NOTE

Your digital adapter has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. Your digital adapter
generates, uses and can radiate radio­frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.

However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If your digital adapter does
cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be
determined by turning your digital adapter
off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

• Reorientorrelocatethereceiving

antenna.

• Increasetheseparationbetweenyour

digital adapter and the receiver.

• Connectyourdigitaladaptertoan

outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

• Consultyourdealeroranexperienced

radio/TV technician for help.

CONNECTING TO THE
AC POWER SUPPLY

You must not plug your digital adapter into
the power supply until you have connected
your digital adapter to the other equipment in
your system.

Your digital adapter itself is designed for use
only with the supplied power supply unit.

On the power supply unit there is a label that
specifies the correct AC power supply input
for it. Do not connect the power supply unit
to any supply other than this.

Always connect the 5 volt DC cord from the
power supply unit to your digital adapter
before you insert the power supply unit into
the wall AC outlet.

To disconnect power from your digital
adapter, always remove the power supply unit
from the wall AC outlet (i.e. not by removing
the 5 volt cord from your digital adapter).

Therefore you must install your digital
adapter near to the wall AC outlet, which
should be easily accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the
power supply lead, its plug or its
connection, consult a qualified
electrician.

PLACING YOUR DIGITAL ADAPTER

After you have made the connections between the cable service, your
digital adapter and your TV, place your digital adapter in a suitable
location, observing the ventilation requirements set out in the safety
information overleaf.

Make sure there is nothing blocking the path from your remote control
to the digital adapter’s front panel. You can “pair” the remote control
and digital adapter. This enables the remote control to operate the
digital adapter if the digital adapter is hidden from view. For more
information, consult the instructions supplied with your remote control.
