SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This STB has been manufactured to satisfy international safety standards. Please read the following recommended safety precautions carefully.

MAINS SUPPLY: AC 100-240V~, 50/60Hz

OVERLOADING: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or adapters

as this can result in fire or electrical shock.

LIQUIDS: Keep liquids away from the STB.

CLEANING: Before cleaning, disconnect the STB from the wall socket.

Use a cloth lightly dampened with water(no solvents) to clean the exterior.

VENTILATION: Do not block the STB ventilation holes. Ensure that free airflow

is maintained around the STB. Never store the STB where it is exposed to direct sunlight or near heating equipment e.g. a radiator. Never stack other electronic equipment on top of the STB. Place the STB at least 30mm from the wall.

ATTACHMENTS: Do not use any attachment that is not recommended by the

manufacturer; it may cause a hazard or damage the equipment.

CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LNB:

The LNB connector cable has voltage in its center core. It is therefore recommended that the STB be disconnected from the mains power before connecting or disconnecting this cable. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD DAMAGE THE LNB.

SERVICING: Do not attempt to service this product yourself.

Any attempt to do so will make the warranty invalid. Refer all servicing to a qualified service agent.

LIGHTNING: If the STB is installed in an area subject to intense lightning

activity, protection devices for the STB mains connector and modem telephone line are essential. The individual manufacturer’s instruction for safeguarding other equipment, such as TV set, Hi-Fi, etc., connected to the STB must also be followed during lightning storms.

GROUNDING: The ground of the LNB cable must be directly connected to the

system ground for the satellite dish. The grounding system must comply with local regulations

NNoottee :Dispose the used batteries at designated place for environment protection

CONNECTING YOUR "STB"

CONNECTING YOUR “STB”

1. LOCATION OF THE RECEIVER

Your “STB” should be placed under proper ventilation. Don’t put in completely enclosed cabinet that will restrict the flow of air, resulting in overheating. The location should be safeguarded from direct sunlight, excess moisture, rough handling or household pets. Avoid stacking other electronic components on the top of the receiver. The location should be safely accessible by the cable from your antenna system.

2. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER WITH ANTENNA SYSTEM

After installing your antenna system, connect the coaxial cable from the LNB of your antenna to “DISH INPUT” terminal marked at the rear of the STB. All cable connectors should be finger tightened; do not use any kind of wrench while tightening connectors. The cable should be 75 ohm impedance coaxial twisted at the end with an “F” type connector.

3. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO TV

To connect the receiver with your television, you can follow two methods: through RF cable, and through to RCA cable. Connect the RF cable to the terminal marked “TV” at the rear panel of STB and its other end to the TV RF input socket. In the case of connecting your TV through RCA cable, connect the Receiver Terminal marked Video to the TV Port.

4. CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO/HI-FI-SYSTEM

To connect any external Audio Hi-Fi system, the receiver has been provided with two RCA connectors at the back of the receiver, marked with Audio L and R respectively to connect the Left and Right Audio.
