2. Safety recommendations

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

Where to put your recorder?

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

• place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and direct sunlight,

• 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 the reach of children,

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

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

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

Warnings and safety instructions

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

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

• As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit acts as a disconnecting

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

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

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

• You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the recorder 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 recorder. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and you risk getting an electric shock when touching the recorder.

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

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

• ambient humidity: between 20% and 90%.

• altitude: below 2000 m [6562 ft].

LU 253463441-A RTI95 T2 HD UK.book Page 9 Mercredi, 1. février 2012 10:59 10

RTI95 T2 HD UK

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

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

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

• The 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 recorder 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 recorder 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 recorder 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 recorder 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 recorder 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 recorder. 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 recorder.

Getting started

3. Environment

Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of Sagemcom Broadband SAS. The desire of Sagemcom Broadband SAS 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

European regulations require packaging to be recycled. It must not be discarded with unsorted waste. There are local arrangements for sorting and recycling this waste.

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

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.

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.

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.

Getting started

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 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.

RTI95 T2 HD UK

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

Your 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 recorder

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

4. Connecting your devices

Before installing your recorder:

• Please check that the delivery is complete (see Package contents, page 5).

• Please ensure that the appliances to be connected together (recorder, TV set, VCR/DVD…) are

unplugged before making any connections.

• Please ensure that Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) is available in your area.

Connection to the terrestrial antenna

Very often to get the best reception, you may simply need to adjust your antenna. Alternatively, you can connect an indoor antenna to your system. For more information, please contact your specialised distributor.

Standard outdoor antenna

Preferably use an outside roof antenna that is designed to receive UHF channels (21 to 69). However:

• if your building is equipped with an old antenna model, digital channels may be difficult or even impossible to receive. The problem can only be resolved by changing the antenna.

• if your building is equipped with a common antenna which contains selective filters devised for analogue channels, reception will most probably not work correctly. In this case, you will have to contact the administrator of the building.

• some antennas directed towards an analogue TV transmitter must be re-adjusted towards a digital TV transmitter. If you encounter reception problems, you can also try placing the antenna at different heights.

Getting started

Indoor antenna

In ideal reception conditions, this type of antenna is sufficient. Here, however, are some useful tips:

• use an antenna designed to receive channels 21 to 69.

• install the antenna close to the window and direct it towards the digital TV transmitter.

• if possible, use an antenna with an amplifier. The recorder can provide remote power supply to your indoor antenna (see Setting the power parameters, page 40).

Connection to the antenna

1. Plug the antenna cable (not supplied) into the ANTENNA IN input connector on your recorder.

2. You can connect the RF output connector of your recorder to the antenna input of the television set

or VCR/DVD recorder (cable not supplied).
