• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you have followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
• Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they will not be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

Jacks and Cables
Jacks and Cables
Please read through the description of the jacks and cables included with your Multi-Satellite Receiver. Use these cables to connect your Multi-Satellite Receiver to your TV, VCR, and phone line.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cable
The TV OUT RF jack requires a coaxial cable connection. It outputs monaural sound and a good TV picture. Use this connection if audio/video jack connections are not provided on the back of your TV set. Make this connection with the provided RF coaxial cable. RF jacks are also used for terrestrial antenna (IN FROM ANTENNA) and satellite dish antenna (SATELLITE IN) input connections.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
Audio/Video jacks and cables output stereo sound and a better TV picture than the RF jacks and cables. Use these jacks and cables to connect your receiver to your TV or to other components such as a stereo receiver or amplifier. The audio/video jacks found on the back of the receiver and the audio/video cable connectors are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If your TV set only has one audio input, connect it to the red (right) audio cable connector.
Telephone Jack and Cord
DIRECTV requires your Multi-Satellite Receiver to be connected to a telephone line. Use the TEL LINE jack and the included telephone cord to complete this connection. If your home does not have RJ-11 type phone jacks, please contact your phone company to get one installed.
Please note that periodically, purchase information is sent from the Multi-Satellite Receiver via your telephone line to a toll free 1-800 number. These calls are typically made in the middle of the night; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds.
