Safety recommendations

Use of the Digital HD-Video-Recorder is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

Where to put your Digital HD-Video-Recorder?

In order to guarantee the correct operation of your Digital HD-Video-Recorder, 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 off and children don`t have access to,

• do not place anything on top of your Digital HD-Video-Recorder

(as it would restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing prevent your Digital HD-Video-Recorder from overheating. If you place the Digital HD-Video-Recorder in a compartment, leave a space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front and back of the Digital HD-Video-Recorder,

• connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the socket

must be near the Digital HD-Video-Recorder and easy to access. The use of an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

Warnings and safety instructions

NEVER OPEN THE DIGITAL HD-VIDEO-RECORDER! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• Use only the power cord supplied with the Digital HD-Video-Recorder to connect it to the

mains. Other practice may be dangerous.

• Connect the Digital HD-Video-Recorder to the mains in accordance with the installation

instructions in this document and the indications mentioned on the identification label (voltage, current, frequency of electricity network).

• As a precaution, in case of danger, the mains adapters act as a disconnecting mechanism for the

230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the Digital HD-Video-Recorder to a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.

• The Digital HD-Video-Recorder must be used within a temperature range of between 0 °C and 40 °C.

• You must imperatively connect the power cord to the Digital HD-Video-Recorder before connecting the

power cord to the power socket.

• To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your Digital HD-Video-Recorder to

dampness. Do not place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance. The Digital HD-Video-Recorder must not be splashed with liquid. If liquid is dropped, dripped onto the Digital HDVideo-Recorder, unplug it immediately from the mains and consult your supplier.

• Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the Digital HD-Video-Recorder through the

ventilation slots.

• Avoid reconnecting the Digital HD-Video-Recorder after it has been subjected to large changes in

temperature.

• The Digital HD-Video-Recorder must be disconnected from mains supply (from the power outlet or rear

panel) before any modification of connection between TV, VCR or antenna.

• In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the antenna. Even if the Digital HD-Video-Recorder

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 Digital HD-Video-Recorder. The non-

observance of these safety precautions can result in forfeiture of the guarantee.

RCI88

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.

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 Digital HDVideo-Recorder 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.

RCI88

Directive on the Restriction of use of certain hazardous substances in electronic equipment (ROHS)

Your Digital HD-Video-Recorder 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.

Electrical consumption of the Digital HD-Video-Recorder

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

10 Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

The remote control does not work.

• Press to switch to Digital HD-Video-Recorder mode.

• Point the remote towards the Digital HD-Video-Recorder.

• Check the batteries and check that the batteries are inserted

correctly.

The Digital HD-Video-Recorder displays a black screen or an error message.

• Search for channels (see chapter 7.1.4, Delete additional

channels).

The picture is frozen and / or blurred.

• Check all connections, the antenna cable, and search for

channels again (see chapter 7.1.6, Start a channel scan).

The Digital HD-Video-Recorder cannot find any channels.

• Check the cable connection.

• Check the antenna signal (see chapter 2, Connections to

the network and connecting additional devices).

• Search for channels (see chapter 7.1.6, Start a channel

scan).

• Check with your cable company for more information about

your home connection.

The TV does not recognize the Digital HD-Video-Recorder if he leaves the standby mode.

• Check if your TV is connected to the TV SCART connector
