2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Use of the receiver is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

2-1 WHERE TO PUT YOUR RECEIVER?

In order to guarantee the correct operation of your receiver, you must:

• place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and sun rays,

• place it in a dry and well ventilated area,

• keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles, lamps, etc.

• protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from where it will not fall and is out of reach of the children,

• do not place anything on top of your receiver (as it would restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing prevent your receiver from overheating. If you place the receiver in a compartment, leave a space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front and back of the receiver,

• connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the socket must be near the receiver and easy to access. The use of an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

2-2 WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER OPEN THE RECEIVER OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• Use only the power supply unit supplied with the receiver to connect it to the mains. Other practice may be dangerous.

• As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit act as a disconnecting mechanism for the 230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the receiver to a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.

• You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the receiver before connecting the power supply unit to the power socket.

• To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your receiver to dampness. Do not place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance. The receiver must not be splashed with liquid. If liquid is upset onto the receiver, unplug it immediately from the mains and consult your supplier.

• Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the receiver through the ventilation slots.

• Avoid reconnecting the receiver after it has been subjected to large changes in temperature.

- 4 -

• The receiver must be disconnected from mains supply (from the power outlet or rear panel) before any modification of connection between TV, VCR or dish.

• In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the dish. Even if the receiver and the television set are disconnected from the power supply, lightning can still damage them.

Only a personnel approved by the manufacturer can repair the receiver. The non-observance of these safety precautions can result in forfeiture of the guarantee.

2-3 BATTERIES

Batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Do not allow young children to play with the remote control.

To avoid damaging the remote control, only use identical batteries or batteries of equivalent type. The batteries provided are not rechargeable.

2-4 INTERFERENCE

Do not place the receiver near appliances that may cause electromagnetic interferences (for example loudspeakers). This could affect receiver operation and distort the picture or sound.

2-5 CLEANING THE RECEIVER

The outer casing of the receiver can be cleaned with a soft and dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvents, such as alcohol or turpentine, as they could damage the surface of the receiver.

3. ENVIRONMENT

Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of the manufacturer. The desire of the manufacturer is to operate systems observing the environment and consequently it has decided to integrate environmental performances in the life cycle of its products, from manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.

3-1 MEANING OF LOGOS PRESENT ON THE PRODUCT OR ITS PACKAGING

The crossed-out dustbin sign stuck on the product or its accessories means that at the end of its life, the product is subject to selective collection and must not be thrown away in unsorted household waste.

The looped arrow sign means that the packaging may be recycled and must not be disposed of with household waste.

The green logo means that a financial contribution is paid to an approved national organisation to improve packaging recovery and recycling infrastructures.

The logo with three arrows shown on the plastic parts means that they may be recycled and that they must not be disposed of with household waste.

3-2 PRODUCT RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL

To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up locally for this kind of waste.

If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at appropriate collection points.

European regulations ask you to dispose of products belonging to the family of electrical and electronic

equipments ( ) selectively:

- At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off centre, selective collection, etc.),

- At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.

In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an effect on the environment and human health.

3-3 EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC

EQUIPMENT (WEEE)

In the context of sustainable development, the reduction of wastes to be eliminated by reusing, recycling, composting and energy recovery is strongly advised.

In order to comply with this directive which is applicable to EEEs sold after 13/08/2005, your receiver will be taken back free of charge and recycled by the distributor of the EEE within the limits of the quantity and types of equipment bought from them. These appliances which contain substances potentially dangerous to human health and the environment will be recycled.

3-4 DIRECTIVE ON THE RESTRICTION OF USE OF CERTAIN HAZARDOUS

SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (ROHS)

Your receiver along with the batteries supplied comply with the directive relating to the RoHS – dangerous materials such as lead, mercury or cadmium are not used. This avoids environmental hazards and any risks to the health of personnel at the recycling centres. The batteries of the remote control can be removed simply.

Note: When the batteries of the remote control are worn out, please dispose of them at a collection point and not with household waste.

3-5 ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION OF THE RECEIVER

To reduce the consumption of your receiver, you are recommended to place it in standby mode when not in use. We recommend you to turn off the receiver or unplug it from the mains if you will not be using it for a prolonged period of time.

4. CONNECTIONS
