expose

this

appliance

to

rain

or

moisture.

WARNING:

This

equipment

generates

used

properly,

that

is,

in

strick

accordance

with

the

manufacture's

instructions,

may

cause

interference

to

radio

found

to

comply

with

the

limits

for a TV

interface

device

in

accordance

with

the

specifications

in

part

15

of

FCC

Rules,

which

are

designed

to

provide

reasonable

protection

against

such

interference

in a residential

installation.

However,

there

is

no

guarantee

that

interference

will

not

occur

in a particular

installation.

If

this

equipment

does

cause

interference

to

which

can

be

determined

by

turning

the

equipment

off

and

the

interference

by

one

or

more

of

the

following

measures:

Reorient

to

the

rear

terminal

of

the

receiver

as

shown

ADDITIONAL

NOTICE:

UHF

Remote

Control

The

normal

range

of

the

UHF

remote

control

is

greater

than

150

feet,

with

no

obstructions.

Houses

where a greater

range

is

required,

or

that

have

several

walls

in

the

path

of

the

signal

may

have

problems

with

reliable

remote

oper

ation.

In

these

cases

it

may

be

necessary

to

relocate

the

UHF

receiving

antenna

to a different

location.

Remove

the

antenna

from

the

back

of

the

receiver

and

reconnect

it

using a length

of

coaxial

cable

while

testing

for a loca

tion

where

signals

can

be

received

reliably

from

all

control

areas.

Low

Noise

Block

Down

Converter

(LNB)

The

receiver

uses

Low

(0

or

Ku-Band

LNB)

for

its

microwave

interface.

The

output

frequency

range

is

950

to

1450MHz.

Power

is

supplied

to

the

LNB

via

its

output F connector.

Note:

The

receiver

is

capable

of

supplying

18V

DC

at

300

milliamps

max.
