SAFETY INFORMATION

This digital set-top 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

set-top, 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 the power supply unit’s

enclosure that may be of sufﬁcient magnitude to constitute a

SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety

Information below.

Power sources

The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top are

on a label on its base.

You must operate your set-top only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power

supply to the home, consult the dealer or local power company. If you

move your set-top between locations at different temperatures, allow it to

reach room temperature before you apply power to it.

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 during a lightning storm, or when

it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect your

set-top from the power supply and disconnect the cable system from your

set-top. See also item 13 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of your set-top is 32-104°F. If the

ambient temperature around your set-top falls outside this range, you

must correct this in order for your set-top to work correctly and safely.

For example, if the temperature is too high, make sure there is sufﬁcient

ventilation (see below) and that your set-top is not directly on top of or

underneath other equipment.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of your set-top are provided for

ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your set-top and to protect it

from overheating.

• Neverblocktheventilationopeningsbyplacingyourset-top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,

table-cloths, or curtains.

Safety aspects of connections

Full details of the rear panel are on page 6.

Connecting

Do not connect your set-top (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 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 set-

top before you insert the power supply unit into the wall AC outlet.

Disconnecting

To disconnect power from your set-top, always remove its attached power

supply unit from the wall AC outlet (i.e. do not the 5 volt cord from your

set-top).

Therefore you must install your set-top near to the wall AC outlet, which

should be easily accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the power supply cord, its plug or its

connection, consult a qualiﬁed electrician.

The CABLE IN connector is designed

for connection to a cable network only.

You must not connect any other

equipment, such as a VCR, to this

input.
