2. Safety recommendations

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

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,

• avoid violent shocks. Choose a stable, horizontal surface on which the receiver will not be exposed to intense vibrations.

• 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.

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 230 V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the receiver to a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.

• Connect the receiver to the mains in accordance with the indications mentioned on the identification label affixed on the receiver (voltage, current, frequency of electricity network).

• The identification label is located under the receiver or on the rear panel.

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

supply unit to the power socket. Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the mains power socket and to the receiver. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and you risk getting an electric shock when touching the receiver.

• You must imperatively use the receiver in an environment that complies with the following requirements:

• temperature of between 0°C [32°F] and 40°C [104°F].

• ambient humidity of between 20% and 90%.

• altitude below 2000 m/ 6562 ft.

• 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.

Page 9

DSI86 HD freesat

Getting started

• 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.

• 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.

• If you hear unusual noise coming from the mains power socket or from the power cord or adapter, disconnect immediately the power cord from the mains power socket in accordance with all the precautions of use, you risk getting an electric shock, and contact your retailer.

• Never connect the receiver to a mains power socket which is loose, shows signs of wear or damage, you risk getting an electric shock.

• Never touch the power cord with wet hands. You risk getting an electric shock.

• When connecting or disconnecting the power cord, always take hold of the plug without pulling on

the cord. A damaged cord presents a potential risk of fire or electric shock. Never pull the power cord when disconnecting from the mains power socket.

• Never place objects on the power cord, and never pull on it or fold it. This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock. Ensure that the receiver never lies on the power cord or any other cables.

• Never place objects on the power adapter, never step on it or roll over it with a rolling device. You risk damaging the power adapter and creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Ensure the receiver is placed on a flat and stable surface, placing it incorrectly may lead to the power cord being disconnected. This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Always connect the power adapter cord to the receiver first, then connect the power cord to the power adapter, and finally connect the power cord to the mains power socket. By not observing the order indicated, you risk getting an electric shock.

• Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the power adapter, and that it is firmly inserted in its slot. It is important that you push the connector into its slot. There is a risk of fire or electric shock in case of incorrect connection.

• Always keep the power cord and power supply unit out of the reach of children or domestic animals.

• Only personnel approved by the manufacturer can repair the receiver. Failure to comply with these

safety precautions will invalidate the guarantee.

• Have a specialised installer perform all connections if you want to use cables that are not provided with the receiver.

Batteries

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

Always keep batteries away from excessive heat sources such as sun rays, fire or similar sources.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
