Connecting your RNG110

1 Decide which connections work best with your equipment.

Depending on the type of TV and other equipment you have, choose the

connections that will provide the best quality video and audio. Refer to your
equipment user manuals and the tables provided in this guide.

2. Connect your RNG110 to your cable service.

Connect the cable from your cable wall outlet to the CABLE IN

connector on the rear panel of your RNG110.

3. Connect the RNG110 to your TV and other equipment.

Once you have decided which audio and video connections you need to

make, refer to the illustrations in this guide to connect your RNG110 to your
TV and other A/V equipment.

4. Turn on your RNG110.

Plug the 5-volt cord from the power supply unit into the power input socket

(labelled DC IN +5V) on the rear panel of your RNG110, then plug the
power supply unit into the wall AC outlet using the power cord supplied.

Press the POWER button on your remote control - the RNG110 will turn on.

5. Enjoy digital TV!

Use the Pace User Settings menu (see below) to fine-tune your setup. Any

problems? Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide and to your
equipment user manuals.

For further information on setting up and operating your set-top, refer to the

RNG110 Operator’s Manual, available at www.pace.com/americas/support

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before you install or use the apparatus, you must read and understand
these Important Safety Instructions. At all times when using the apparatus
you must follow these Important Safety Instructions to reduce the risk of

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

If your remote control will still not operate
your set-top, replace the batteries in your
remote control.

Check that you have selected the
appropriate A/V input on your TV.

If you are using the HDMI connection,
make sure it goes directly from your

transmissions, so that the picture is not
stretched.

If the set-top’s settings are correct, try
adjusting your TV’s display.

Change the TV Display Capability
resolution settings if necessary.
