For your safety
Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet international safety
standards, but you must take care if you want to obtain the best results
and operate it safely.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the
safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the installation,
operation or safety of your set-top box, please consult your dealer .
WARNING!
Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal
or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:
Never remove the top cover from your set-top box.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside it, but there
are some high-voltage live parts.
Make sure that all electrical connections are properly
made.
Do not connect any of your equipment (set-top box,
TV, video recorder etc.) to the mains supply until you
have properly connected all the other leads.
Disconnect your set-top box from the mains supply
(by disconnecting its mains lead from the mains wall
socket) before you disconnect any other equipment
from its rear panel.
Never push anything into the holes, slots or other
openings of the set-top box case (except a smart card
into its correct slot).
CAUTION!
In order to ensure a free flow of air around the set-top box,
allow at least 5cm of space above and around the set-top box.
Never stand your set-top box on soft furnishings or carpets. Do
not cover any ventilation slots.
Do not place your set-top box in an unventilated cabinet or on
top of a unit which emits heat (e.g. a TV or VCR).
Do not place your set-top box in a cabinet with more than one
other piece of audio/video equipment, for example, VCR or
DVD.
Do not use or store your set-top box in hot, cold, damp or
dusty places.
Do not put anything on your set-top box which might drip or
spill into it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
on top of your set-top box.
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top
of your set-top box.

Welcome to digital satellite TV!
Thank you for choosing the Pace set-top box for Viasat. Please follow
the instructions in this User Guide carefully to enjoy all the advantages
of digital satellite TV. We advise following the user instructions and
recommendations supplied with your set-top box, especially for firsttime use.
Your set-top box fully complies with international DVB (Digital Video
Broadcasting) standards.
Updates to your set-top box
❖
From time to time, your set-top box may be updated. These updates
provide enhanced features; new screens and menus may become
available. Although any new screens and menus may look a little
different from those described in this User Guide, you should be able
to use the same techniques (e.g. highlight and select) with them.
Updates will usually happen in the middle of the night. You should not
unplug your set-top box at the mains, as this may affect any updates
which may occur.
❖
Inserting the batteries in your remote
control
Before you can use your remote control, you must insert the two
supplied AAA batteries as follows:
1. Push the catch at the top of the remote control battery cover
down, then lift off the cover.
2. Insert the batteries as shown below. Be sure to match the + and
– marks on the batteries to their respective marks inside the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover, by inserting the tab at the bottom of
the cover first, then pushing the cover into place.
ENGLISH
Don’t leave flat batteries in your remote control.
Replace both batteries at the same time.
Dispose of flat batteries in an environmentally-friendly way.

❖ What else do I need?
Smart card
If you wish to view premium services, you will need a smart card. This
is available from your service provider, Viasat.
Satellite dish
You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct
satellite(s).
◆ If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct
satellite(s), you will need to make adjustments. Please see the
information supplied with your dish/LNB for details on how to
do this, or seek professional advice.
◆ If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer
to recommend a local dish-installation engineer.
Single LNB
If you have one LNB only, to ensure the simplest installation method,
and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should use the ‘Sirius’
satellite, at 5° East. However, if you prefer, you can set up your system
for any one of the four satellites listed in the LNB positions table below.
Multiple LNB set-up
If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with 2 or more LNBs/satellite dishes,
to ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up,
you should connect up the LNBs to the DiSEqC™ ports as shown in
the LNB positions table below.
You must then connect your DiSEqC™ unit to the satellite input on
your set-top box (see also pages 10 to 12).
