Safety Information
This digital set-top box has been manufactured and tested with your safety in mind.
However, improper use can result in potential electric shock, property damage or fire
hazards. To avoid defeating the safeguards that have been built into your set-top box,
please observe the precautions discussed in this document.
Warnings on the power supply unit
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within a triangle, is intended to
alert you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous” voltages within your
set-top box’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert you to the
presence of important instructions in the literature accompanying your settop box.
To ensure correct operation, use this set-top box only with the Pace-approved power
supply unit provided. If you use an unapproved alternative, you will invalidate the
warranty.
Other warnings
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover of your set-top box.
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 the set-top box yourself will invalidate the
warranty.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this set-top box to rain or
moisture.
• On the rear panel of your set-top box there is a tamper-evident label that states
“Warranty void if broken or removed.”
• To avoid possible damage to the apparatus 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 the
apparatus to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking, property damage or
damage to any TV or other component connected to the apparatus and pose a fire
hazard.
• Failure to heed the Safety Information provided by failing to connect to a properly
wired outlet may void the manufacturer's warranty.

In addition to the “Important safety instructions” section, please read the safety
information below.
Power sources
The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a
label on its base.
You must operate your set-top box only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your dealer or local power company. If you move your set-top box between locations at
different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
6
Overloading
Do not overload wall AC outlets, extension cords, or other power outlets as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Lightning
For added protection for your set-top box during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect your set-top box from the
power supply and disconnect the cable system from your set-top box. See also item 12
in the “Important safety instructions”.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of your set-top box is 32-104° F. If the ambient
temperature around your set-top box falls outside this range, you must correct this in
order for your set-top box to work correctly and safely. For example, if the temperature
is too high, make sure there is sufficient ventilation and that your set-top box is not
directly on top of or underneath other equipment.
Ventilation and location
Slots and openings in the casing of your set-top box are provided for ventilation, to
ensure reliable operation of your set-top box and to protect it from overheating.
• Never block the ventilation openings by placing your set-top box on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. Place it on a hard, flat surface.
• Never cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, or
curtains.
• You can place your set-top box near other consumer electronics devices, such as
stereo amplifiers or televisions, but you must not place it directly on top or
underneath them.
• Do not place your set-top box in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided and you have adhered to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Maintain a minimum distance of three inches around your set-top box for sufficient
ventilation.
See also item 7 in the “Important safety instructions”.
Water and moisture
Do not expose this product to dripping or splashing liquids, rain, or moisture. Objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the set-top box. See also
item 5 in the “Important safety instructions”.
7
Entry of objects and liquids
Never push objects of any kind into your set-top box through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your set-top box.
Placement and mounting
Do not place your set-top box on an unstable or uneven surface. Your set-top box may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to your set-top box. If
you mount your set-top box, for example to a wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. See
also item 11 in the “Important safety instructions”.
Risk of fire or scorching
Never place open flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or adjacent to your settop box.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards. See also item 13 in the “Important safety instructions”.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, the service technician must
perform safety checks to determine that your set-top box is in proper operating
condition. See also item 13 in the “Important safety instructions”.

Safety aspects of connections
For full details about the rear panel connections, see “Connecting the Set-Top Box” on
page 13.
Connecting
Do not connect your set-top box (or any other equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the
power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables. Your set-top box
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 12 volt connector from the power supply unit to your set-top box
before you insert the AC power connector from the power supply unit into the wall AC
outlet.
8
Disconnecting
To disconnect power from your set-top box, always detach the power supply unit from
the wall AC outlet (rather than remove the 12 volt connector from your set-top box).
You must install your set-top box near to the wall AC outlet, which should be easily
accessible.
If you are in any doubt about the power supply unit, its plug or its connection, consult a
qualified electrician.
Note to the installer
The servicing instructions in this notice are for use by qualified service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
contained in the operating instructions, unless you are qualified to do so. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the unit. Refer all servicing issues to qualified service personnel.
