Safety instructions

Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating the receiver. Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipment and in the operating manual.

Basic safety instructions

Electrical connection

• Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case of operational disruptions. Please note: The receiver will remain live, even if it is turned off from the mains switch on the rear side.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of humidity to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.

• Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock. There are no serviceable parts inside.

• Connect the receiver only to a professionally installed mains socket of 100– 240 V ~, 50–60 Hz.

• The total power consumption by the antenna connection of the receiver “LNB IN” must not exceed 300 mA.

• Pull out the mains plug from the socket if the equipment is not in use for a relatively long period of time. Only pull at the mains plug, not at the cable.

• Do not touch the power cable with moist or wet hands.

• In the event of storms, pull out the mains plug of the receiver from the

socket.

• The Standby key (device front) of this device will not separate the device completely from the power source. To isolate the device completely from the power circuit, operate the On/Off switch on the back of the unit.

• Thread off the connecting cable (satellite supply line) from the receiver, in the event of a storm.

• If foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver, immediately pull out the mains plug from the socket. Ask a qualified person to check the equipment before operating it again. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

• Do not place any objects or other things on the power cord.

- 5 -

• Ensure that the power source (socket) is easily accessible. Do not bend or crimp the power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, have an expert repair the receiver before you reuse it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

• Never allow children to operate the receiver or to play with the antenna unit unless supervised. Children cannot always correctly perceive possible dangers.

• Always leave service jobs to qualified technicians, otherwise you will put yourself and others in danger.

• Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case of operational disruptions.

• Spare parts must be ordered directly from the manufacturer

• Modifications to the device will nullify the manufacturer’s liability.

• Remove all protective coverings before putting the device in operation.

• Keep all packing materials (foils etc) away from children. They involve

danger of suffocation.

Suitable location

• Place the receiver on a stable and even base.

• Never place receptacles filled with liquid (e. g. vases) on or next to the

receiver.

• Avoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high amount of dust.

• Never cover ventilation slits. Ensure adequate ventilation of the receiver.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the receiver.

• Humidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into hot surroundings from

the cold. In such an event, wait for about an hour before operating the equipment.

• Lay the mains and antenna cables in such a manner that no-one steps or trips over them.

Avoid proximity to:

• heat sources, such as heaters,

• naked flames, such as candles,

• devices with strong magnetic fields, such as loudspeakers.

- 6 -

Correct battery handling

Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that batteries are not within the reach of children. Children could put the batteries in their mouth and swallow them. If a battery is swallowed, call for medical help immediately. Batteries that are getting discharged may damage the remote control. If the receiver is not in use for a longer period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control. Batteries may contain toxic agents. Please, therefore, dispose of the batteries immediately in an ecologically accepted manner according to the prevailing statutory regulations. Never throw batteries in the household garbage, but dispose of them at the collection points intended for the purpose.

Never expose the batteries to open fire or strong heat, as otherwise there is a danger of explosion. Never charge the batteries, as they may explode. Always replace the batteries by batteries of the same type.

Disposal of old devices

If this symbol of a crossed-out garbage can is displayed on a product, this product is covered under the European Guidelines 2002/96/EC.

All old electrical and electronic devices must be disposed of separately from household garbage, at specially provided public locations. By properly disposing of the old device, you avoid damage to the environment and endangerment of the personal health. You can obtain further information about disposal of old devices from the city administration, at the time of disposal or from the shop where you purchased the product.

Explanation of safety instructions

The following categories of safety instructions are included in this operating manual:

Danger!

Instructions with the word DANGER give a warning against possible personal injuries.

Caution!

Instructions with the word CAUTION give a warning against possible material or environmental damages.

These instructions contain special information regarding an -



economic use of the receiver.

Appropriate use

The receiver is designed for receiving unencryted and encrypted digital satellite channels for private use. It is exclusively meant for this purpose and must only be used for the same. This also includes paying attention to all information contained in this operating manual, especially in the safety instructions. Any other usage is considered to be improper and may lead to material damages and even personal injuries. Moreover, it will result in the immediate loss of guarantee. The manufacturer does not bear any liability for damages caused due to improper use.

- 8 -

Description of the device

With this receiver, you are able to receive unencrypted and encrypted digital satellite channels via a satellite antenna. In addition, you have the option of using a second satellite supply line to record another channel through the second built-in tuner and to play it back at a later time. The device has a builtin hard disc and offers the additional option of playing back data through the USB interface. It is also possible to record on a USB medium.

It is not necessary to programme the receiver beforehand. The most important broadcasting stations and satellites have already been pre-programmed.

The satellite antenna has to be directed towards the desired satellite. The receiver will scan for further new channels as soon as you initiate the automatic scanning of broadcasting stations for this satellite. Satellites that are not preset may be added. All receiver settings can be done easily using the user interface (menu) on the TV monitor.

The multilingual user interface supports following languages:

• German

• Swedish

• Czech

• English

• French

• Turkish

• Spanish

• Italian
