IMPORTANT RULES

IMPORTANT RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

FOR SAFE OPERATION

Carefully read through these rules for safe operation before hooking up the terminal.

PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION

The unit has openings for ventilation that protect it from overheating.

• Avoid obstructing these openings, and do not place other equipment, including televisions, lamps, books or any other object, on the unit. Do not place it in an enclosure such as a bookcase or equipment rack, unless the installation provides proper ventilation.

• Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface, or over a radiator or heat register.

• Place the unit on a stable surface able to support its size and weight.

ACCESSORIES AND CLEANING

Do not use accessories with this equipment unless recommended by your cable service provider. Do not open the cover of the unit. Unplug the unit and clean it with a damp cloth. Do not use a liquid or aerosol cleaner, or a magnetic/static cleaning device.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not expose the unit to moisture, or spill liquids on or near it. Do not place the unit on a wet surface. Never push objects of any kind into the unit’s openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or cause short-circuits that could result in a fire or electric shock.

POWER SOURCES

A label on the unit indicates the correct power source for this equipment. Operate the unit only from an electrical outlet that has the voltage and frequency indicated on the label. Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

POWER CORD PROTECTION

Arrange all power cords so that people cannot walk on the cords or place objects on or against the cords, as this may damage them. Pay particular attention to cords that are at plugs, at electrical outlets, connected to accessories, and at the places where the cords exit the unit.

GROUNDING

The terminal has a two-prong plug. Properly ground the unit by inserting the plug into a grounded electrical, two-socket outlet. If the plug is polarized, it has one wide prong and one narrow prong. This plug fits only one way.

Caution! To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, then fully insert. If you are unable to insert this plug fully into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

SERVICING

The terminal has a standard warranty of three years. Opening the case will void your warranty. Refer all servicing to a qualified

Vidéotron technician. Contact your cable service provider for instructions. Service should be referred to a Vidéotron technician when any of the following occurs:

• There is damage to the power cord or plug.

• Liquid enters the unit, or there is exposure to rain or water.

• A heavy object falls on the unit, or you drop the unit or damage the cabinet.

• Operation is not normal (the instructions in this guide describe the proper operation).

• The unit exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Extended Warranty

For greater peace of mind, Vidéotron offers you the possibility of extending the warranty for an additional two years. Customers who want this extended warranty must apply for it within 30 days of the service activation date. The unit purchased will then be covered for a total of five years following the activation date.

THE TERMINALS OFFER THE SAME HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES, INCLUDING:

• an exceptional HD image that supports resolutions of up

to 1080i and is able to support a resolution of 1080p,

• Dolby Digital™ 5.1 surround sound adapted for home

theatre systems,

• a complete Interactive Program Guide providing an

overview of the programming for the next days,

• the ability to block access to specific times, channels or

TV programs with the Parental Control feature,

• access to interactive TV, as well as a multitude of

advanced features and services,

• access to Video On Demand, where available.

REMOTE CONTROL RT-U63P-15

For best results, we recommend reading the next page to correctly program

your remote control in conjunction with your TV set.

The remote control requires two AA alkaline batteries. A diagram inside the compartment of the remote control indicates proper battery placement. Replace as needed, when the indicator light becomes dim or no longer illuminates.

QUICK PROGRAMMING

This method allows you to program the remote control without using codes. Instead, the remote control automatically searches for the correct code that operates your device.

When using this method, there are several important points to remember:

• The order in which you program your electronic devices is not important.

• There may be several codes that turn your electronic devices on/off (or perform other functions). Once you lock in a code, be sure to check the available functions for that device (e.g. TV (Vol +/-, Mute), TV Input (Video Source button), VCR (Play, Stop, etc.), DVD (Play, Stop,etc.), AUDIO (Vol +/-, Mute)) to see if they are operating.

• While the remote is searching for the correct setup code(s) for your electronic devices, it is possible that other (previously programmed) devices may turn on/off. If this occurs, continue pressing the CH + or CH - buttons until you find the correct code for the device you are programming.

• It may take several minutes for the remote to find the correct code that turns your device off (or performs another selected function). During this time, the POWER/MODE buttons will light up in fast rotation (i.e. CBL > TV > VIDEO > AUDIO ).

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL USING THE CH + OR CH - BUTTONS

1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD,AUDIO) you want to program the remote to operate.

2. Press SELECT then MUTE together until the CBL/TV/VCR/AUDIO buttons light up in a slow rotation.

3. Press and hold the CH + button until one device turns off. While you are pressing the CH + button, the CBL/TV/VCR/AUDIO buttons will light up in fast rotation. As soon as one device turns off, release the CH + button.

4. Press MUTE. If the device that turned off:

a. Turns back on, press SELECT to lock in this code. The CBL/TV/VCR/AUDIO buttons will blink 3 times

and go out.

b. Does not turn back on, press CH - repeatedly until that device turns back on. Each time you press the

CH - button, the CBL/TV/VCR/AUDIO buttons will light up once in a reverse fast rotation.

5. Once you have found a code that turns the device on/off, press SELECT to lock in this code. The CBL/TV/VCR/AUDIO buttons will blink 3 times and go out.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 above for each of the remaining electronic devices you wish to program the remote to operate.
